Samsung Galaxy Fold Wasn't Ready for Launch, Admits Mobile Chief, Calls the Whole Episode ‘Embarrassing’

Samsung’s Mobile chief DJ Koh has come out and accepted blame for pushing out its first foldable smartphone “before it was ready”. from RSS Feeds | ANDROID - RSS Feed - NDTV Gadgets360.com https://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/samsung-galaxy-fold-launch-dj-koh-embarrassing-not-ready-2062629

PSA wants Chinese Huawei, ZTE away from 5G trials

A senior government functionary has opposed allowing Huawei to participate in the ongoing 5G trials in India. For Huawei, getting permission to participate in Indian 5G trials is critical as it comes at a time when it faces a global reversal after the ban from the US in 5G. from telecom-equipment - Telecom News | Latest Telecom Industry News, Information and Update: ET Telecom : ETTelecom.com https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/5g-panel-head-wants-chinese-vendors-excluded-from-trials/70034832?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=ETRSS

Physicists use light waves to accelerate supercurrents, enable ultrafast quantum computing

Scientists have discovered that terahertz light -- light at trillions of cycles per second -- can act as a control knob to accelerate supercurrents. That can help open up the quantum world of matter and energy at atomic and subatomic scales to practical applications such as ultrafast computing. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/07/190701144322.htm

Researchers decipher the history of supermassive black holes in the early universe

Astrophysicists have found evidence for the direct formation of black holes that do not need to emerge from a star remnant. The production of black holes in the early universe, formed in this manner, may provide scientists with an explanation for the presence of extremely massive black holes at a very early stage in the history of our universe. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/06/190628120422.htm

Researchers grow active mini-brain-networks

Cerebral organoids are artificially grown, 3D tissue cultures that resemble the human brain. Now, researchers report success with functional neural networks derived from these organoids. Although the organoids aren't actually 'thinking,' the researchers' new tool -- which detects neural activity using organoids -- could provide a method for understanding human brain function. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/06/190627113945.htm

LG G8s ThinQ Price Revealed, Global Rollout Begins

Chemists give chance a helping hand

The chemical industry depends on efficient, long-term methods of producing synthetically derived molecules. For this purpose, chemists often use catalysts, i.e. additives with which they can facilitate and control chemical reactions. But how are such reactions discovered and developed? Not infrequently, chance plays a decisive role. A team of chemists have developed a strategy for generating such 'random hits' in a systematic way, with the aim of discovering new, unexpected reactions. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/07/190701144423.htm

A cold-tolerant electrolyte for lithium-metal batteries emerges

Improvements to a class of battery electrolyte first introduced in 2017 -- liquefied gas electrolytes - could pave the way to a high-impact and long-sought advance for rechargeable batteries: replacing the graphite anode with a lithium-metal anode. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/07/190701144306.htm

Earliest example of merging galaxies

Researchers have observed signals of oxygen, carbon, and dust from a galaxy in the early Universe 13 billion years ago. This is the earliest galaxy where this useful combination of three signals has been detected. By comparing the different signals, the team determined that the galaxy is actually two galaxies merging together, making it the earliest example of merging galaxies yet discovered. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/07/190701144517.htm

Recycling plastic: Vinyl polymer broken down to aspirin components

Not a day goes by without news of microplastics in our oceans. There are not many efficient methods of recycling plastics without compromising quality. A beacon of hope was recently lit when researchers discovered acid hydrolysis of a vinyl polymer breaks down into salicylic acid and acetic acid, precursors to dehydroaspirin which in theory can be made into vinyl polymers again. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/07/190701144509.htm

Researchers create worldwide solar energy model

For any future sustainable energy system, it is crucial to know the performance of photovoltaic (solar cell) systems at local, regional and global levels. Researchers have investigated and mapped the capacities of photovoltaic generation in the European countries in four different configurations: Rooftop, optimum tilt, tracking and delta configuration, and made the data openly available. The different configurations have a strong influence on the hourly difference between electricity demand and PV generation. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/07/190701144304.htm
