The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Collaboration has compiled the largest three-dimensional map of the universe to date, using measurements from millions of galaxies and quasars. Early analysis of the data suggests that dark energy, long assumed to be a constant force, may actually vary over cosmic time, a finding that challenges standard cosmological assumptions.
Leaker Ice Universe claims Samsung's Galaxy S27 Ultra will weigh 218 grams, about 4 grams more than the Galaxy S26 Ultra, while keeping the same 7.9mm thickness. The extra weight follows earlier reports that the phone will carry a larger 5,700mAh battery, up from 5,000mAh in the current model.
Leakers Digital Chat Station and Ice Universe report that Huawei's Mate 90 Pro Max will have a special edition variant supporting a detachable external camera accessory. Unlike telephoto extender lenses used on rival phones, this add-on reportedly has its own 1-inch sensor with continuous optical zoom from 24mm to 240mm (1x-10x) and an aperture ranging from f/2.0 to f/4.5.
Tipster Ice Universe claims the Galaxy S27 Ultra will use a 200MP ISOCELL HP6 main sensor based on Samsung's DeepPix pixel architecture, which he says produces warmer colors, better highlight control, and cleaner shadows than the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The same leak suggests Samsung may remove the dedicated 3x telephoto lens, leaving the phone to jump from 1x directly to 5x zoom.
Leaker Steve 'OnLeaks' Hemmerstoffer posted a new render of the Galaxy S27 Ultra's rear camera island, showing a pill-shaped module with a telephoto lens, microphone cutout, auxiliary sensors including laser autofocus, and an LED flash stacked top to bottom. This followed reports from leaker Ice Universe, who examined early Chinese third-party cases that lacked cutouts for some sensors, prompting speculation Samsung had dropped laser autofocus; Ice Universe has since pushed back on OnLeaks' arrangement, saying the flash sits above the camera rather than below.
Skybound Entertainment's Energon Universe comic imprint, which includes Transformers alongside other franchise tie-ins, has reported strong sales, with the Transformers title requiring repeated reprints to meet demand. Other titles in the shared universe have not matched that level of reprint activity.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified a widespread class of compact, reddish objects dating to the universe's first billion years, dubbed 'little red dots.' Researchers say these objects have puzzled the field since their discovery, and new analysis is now offering possible explanations for what they are.
Tom Hiddleston says he never anticipated still playing Loki fifteen years after his debut in 'Thor.' He is set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the character in the upcoming film 'Avengers: Doomsday,' due in December.
Leaker Ice Universe claims Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra will adopt a split-screen privacy feature already found on Xiaomi's newly announced 18 Pro series. The feature would dim only one app window in split-screen mode while keeping the other visible, adjusting dynamically as windows are resized.
DC Comics has released 'Absolute Martian Manhunter' as part of its Absolute imprint, which reboots familiar characters within an alternate universe. The series reworks the classic Martian Manhunter mythology, following the acclaimed relaunch of 'Absolute Batman' in the same line.
The animated series 'Stuart Fails to Save the Universe' has included a cameo appearance from a well-known DC hero, beating DC's own film slate to the punch. The crossover was reportedly made possible through connections tied to the upcoming HBO series 'Lanterns'.
Physicist John Wheeler proposed to Richard Feynman in a 1940 phone call that every electron and positron in existence could be a single particle tracing a tangled path back and forth through time. Sections of this path moving forward in time appear as electrons, while sections looping backward appear as positrons. Physicist E. C. G. Stueckelberg independently arrived at a similar concept around the same period.
