Samsung is gearing up for its Galaxy Unpacked event to unveil “the next generation of Galaxy AI and the ever-expanding Galaxy ecosystem” in Paris. The city’s trendsetting reputation serves as a fitting backdrop for Samsung’s latest innovations, following January’s AI-focused Unpacked event in San Jose. With the 2024 Summer Olympics also launching in Paris around the same time, Samsung, a sponsor of the games, hints at potential tie-ins, such as special Olympic-themed editions of their Galaxy S flagship phones. The event will be streamed live on main website samsung.com/sg/unpacked as well as Samsung’s YouTube channel at 9PM SGT on July 10th.

It’s an image of the Serpens Nebula, about 1,300 light-years away from Earth. Newly captured by JWST (James Webb Space Telescope), what is revealed is a very special phenomenon theorized upon for so long but never observed. The subject is the Serpens Nebula, which lies about 1,300 light-years from Earth. And the new JWST image showcases a very special phenomenon long theorized to exist, but never before observed. Some of the objects in the upper left area of the image are known as “protostellar outflows” or simply jets of gas erupting from newborn stars. While these outflows have been previously seen, we’ve never seen…

This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope showcases RCW 7, a stunning nebula located approximately 5,300 light-years away in the constellation Puppis. Nebulae like RCW 7 are rich in the materials necessary for star formation. Within these molecular clouds, gravity causes regions to collapse, forming young protostars surrounded by swirling disks of gas and dust. The protostars within RCW 7 are notably massive, emitting intense ionizing radiation and powerful stellar winds. These energetic processes have transformed RCW 7 into an H II region, characterized by ionized hydrogen gas glowing brightly. H II regions like RCW 7 contain ionized hydrogen…

AMD’s upcoming mobile chips hinting a big performance gains, especially for gamers because the new Radeon 890M GPU is expected to provide a significant improvement over the 780M. AMD’s most recent integrated GPU for the forthcoming Ryzen AI 300 series is the 890M. With 16 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units (CUs) operating at 2,900 MHz, it is impressive. By contrast, the previous version 780M, used in Ryzen mobile processors from both the 7000 and 8000 series, has 12 RDNA 3 CUs operating at 2,800 MHz. AMD has made significant progress in this area, as evidenced by the 890M’s specifications, which alone promise a significant boost in…

AI-Video generation technology is rapidly advancing, but most of them just produce videos without sound. Google’s video-to-audio is a next significant leap forward involves adding soundtracks to these silent videos. Google unveiled video-to-audio (V2A) technology, enabling synchronized audiovisual generation. V2A seamlessly integrates video pixels with natural language prompts to create immersive soundscapes that complement on-screen visuals. This technology works with video generation models like Veo, enhancing scenes with dramatic scores, realistic sound effects, and dialogue tailored to match the video’s characters and atmosphere. It can also generate soundtracks for various types of footage, including archival material and silent films, unlocking…

The first human trial of tooth-regrowing drug is set to commence within a few months, after promising outcomes in animal studies less than a year ago. This development signals a potential commercial availability of the medicine by 2030. Scheduled to take place at Kyoto University Hospital from September 2025 to August 2026, the trial aims to assess the efficacy of intravenous treatment on human dentition. It targets 30 male participants aged 30-64, each missing at least one molar. Previous experiments on ferrets and mice demonstrated successful tooth regeneration without notable side effects, prompting this pivotal human phase. “We want to…
