An international team of astronomers led by University of Galway, has discovered the likely site of a new planet in formation, most likely a gas giant planet up to a few times the mass of Jupiter. Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) in Chile, the researchers captured spectacular images around a…
Apple is in the strange position of having to slowly improve a product while also trying to reinvent it. Some say their success requires them making small, evolutionary steps seem revolutionary. I don’t quite agree with that. As iPhones become better and better over the years, small steps eventually bring tip-over points, when technology starts…
We released an app this year to turn your iPad into an HDMI monitor this year called Orion. In the meantime, we’ve gotten a few questions on exactly how to use it. While we have a manual in the app, here’s our own detailed quick guide to help you get started. Setting up your iPad…
Liquid Glass. It’s an umbrella term for interface changes across virtually every Apple platform, but it’s also evocative of an intangible thing; digital, transparent, amorphous glass that glides, flexes, and responds to touch in a way real glass could never do. Just hours after Apple unveiled, at WWDC 2025, the biggest change to iOS since…

Physicists at the University of Oxford have set a new global benchmark for the accuracy of controlling a single quantum bit, achieving the lowest-ever error rate for a quantum logic operation — just 0.000015%, or one error in 6.7 million operations. This record-breaking result represents nearly an order of magnitude improvement over the previous benchmark,…
A rendering of IBM’s proposed quantum supercomputer IBM In less than five years, we will have access to an error-free quantum supercomputer – so says IBM. The firm has presented a roadmap for building this machine, called Starling, slated to be available to researchers across academia and industry in 2029. “These are science dreams that…
Last month we released Orion, a small app that turns your iPad into an HDMI monitor. This was certainly a big departure from our usual practice of making camera apps, so I wanted to take a moment to show the ‘why’ — and, after that, the ‘how’: our process of making it from thought to launch….
Uber will trial robotaxis – autonomous cars with no human safety driver at the wheel – in London next spring. The ride-hailing app will work with the UK artificial intelligence (AI) firm Wayve, which has been testing out the technology on the city’s streets with human oversight, in line with current legislation. The announcement comes…
Today we’re excited to launch Kino, a powerful filmmaking app for beginners and experts alike. As they say in screenwriting, “Show, Don’t tell,” so let’s walk through a few of the tent-pole features in our huge 1.0 release. Instant Grade Aspiring filmmakers chase a “film look,” but what does that even mean? Obviously there’s the…
