Cosmic-ray particles help probe powerful electric fields inside thunderstorms
An instrument built to study cosmic rays has turned out to be a powerful tool for investigating thunderstorms. Earlier observations with the GRAPES-3 muon telescope revealed that thunderclouds can develop electrical potential differences far greater than those ever measured directly. But they also uncovered a puzzle: the instrument detected many more thunderstorm events in the eastern part of its field of view than in the western part. A new study by the same team, published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, has now explained why.

Apple Shares Photos Shot on iPhone Duo
Apple on Instagram today shared a curated gallery of six photos shot on the iPhone Duo . The photos were shot by American photographers Jake Michaels and Jason Nocito , as part of a project commissioned by Apple. iPhone Duo is equipped with four cameras: A rear 48-megapixel Fusion Main camera A rear 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera A front 12-megapixel Center Stage camera in the outer display A front camera under the inner display iPhone Duo lacks a dedicated Telephoto camera, which is a dealbreaker for some customers. The main camera does have optical-quality 2 Telephoto capabilities, but this pales in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro models, which can achieve up to 8 optical zoom. Still, the photos shared by Apple prove that the iPhone Duo is still very capable for photography, at least in the hands of skilled photographers. You can pre-order the iPhone Duo starting Friday, October 16 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time.

Many of the common materials we encounter in our daily lives are crystalline, including ice, salt and sugar. The crystal structures of some solids are formed from molecules arranged in simple geometric patterns, and these patterns can be changed to give the solids special properties required for high-tech applications. However, changing these connections requires extreme measures, such as high heat, leaving researchers with the challenge of finding an easier transformation method.

Trehalose analog provides a new platform for designing water-soluble glycopolymers
Sugars are attractive building blocks for functional materials because of their high water affinity and diverse biological properties. Incorporating sugars into synthetic polymers can therefore provide materials that combine the processability of polymers with characteristics derived from carbohydrates. However, selective chemical modification of sugars is often challenging because they contain multiple hydroxyl groups with similar reactivities, making it difficult to introduce a polymerizable group at one defined position without multistep synthetic procedures.

This $100 iPad is the best way to beat the RAM pricing surge

If you want to get one for your kids, then spending a ton of money is definitely not on your to-do list since its likely to get dropped or damaged. Well, weve found a solution: This Apple iPad 8th Gen is only $110 at Woot but if you use code APPLETEN , itll take off another 10 percent, bringing it under $100. Its not new (Woot says its in Grade A Refurbished condition) and wont get the latest features, but its about a third of how much youd pay for a new iPad today. The 10.2-inch Retina display is sharp and bright enough for movies, e-books, and homework apps. Inside, the A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine was a big upgrade for this model. When it came out, it made the 8th-gen iPad much faster than the version before it, and it still handles games, streaming, and everyday apps without much fuss. Back in 2020, we called it the best affordable tablet you can buy , and thats definitely the case right now. The tablet wont support iOS 27 or Apple Intelligence, but youre getting a perfect device you dont have to worry about when you hand it over. Think about it: Sooner or later, every parent hits the same moment on a long car ride or a rainy Saturday: the kids want your phone, and youd really like it back. A tablet of their own solves that, but handing a pricey new iPad to a seven-year-old is a gamble most of us would rather skip. Well, at $110, you wont wince every time your kid gently puts it on the table. Because its refurbished, youre also giving a perfectly good device a second life instead of buying new, and a landfill somewhere will thank you. Its guaranteed to be free of major dents and dings, plus it comes with a 90-day warranty in cases theres anything wrong with it. For under $100, this older iPad model is an easy pick if you want a kid-friendly first tablet or a simple spare iPad for the house without paying full price.

Trump BLOWS UP During Interview; McConnell Question Takes A SHOCKING Turn | WATCH
Donald Trumps TIME interview took an unexpected turn after reporters asked him about Mitch McConnell and his health. Trump initially addressed the question before shifting to pardons, Joe Biden and his own record. He then complained that the interview had not included one f***ing positive question and launched into a broader defence of his presidency, including White House renovations and his handling of major issues. The heated exchange became one of the most striking moments of the September 28 interview.

As Harp continues to appear around Trump, online speculation has intensified, particularly after a fake AI-generated image appeared to show the pair kissing. Counselor Brook McKenzie told The Irish Star that Harp should separate legitimate feedback from speculation, set boundaries around media and social media, and avoid responding to every accusation. His central advice: Stop trying to win a trial that never ends.
Trumps Super Intelligence Pact Misspells United States; AI Safety Deal Has No Legal Teeth
Donald Trump wants America to enter the age of Super Intelligence. But the White House's new AI accord has gone viral for a decidedly less intelligent reason: beneath Trump's signature, his title reads President of the Unites States.The typo appeared in the White House Accord on Super Intelligence signed by Trump and tech leaders including Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai, Mark Zuckerberg, Jensen Huang, Dario Amodei and Greg Brockman.But beyond the spelling error lies a much bigger debate over AI regulation. The accord lays out layers of internal controls, independent assessments and board-level oversight, but remains a voluntary agreement rather than an enforceable regulatory regime. Trump has described the agreement as morally binding and emphasised industry self-policing.So is Super Intelligence a new era of AI governance, or largely a rebrand accompanied by voluntary promises? And as Washington bets on industry-led safeguards, who ultimately holds the companies developing increasingly powerful AI systems accountable? Shreya Chandra has more
