I wanted a compressor I could trust with client footage. Most "online video compressor" sites upload the file to a server. That's slow, and it's a privacy problem. So I built VideoCompress : compression runs in the browser. The video is not uploaded. What it does Drop in MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, and similar Set a target size in MB (Discord 10, email 25) or pick High / Balanced / Small Optional d…

A company that helped explore how astronauts could grow and recycle food in space is now using the same ideas to solve a waste problem on Earth. Take Root Bio has worked with scientists at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland to turn salty whey, a major waste product from cheese making, into bioethanol. Bioethanol is a […] The post Space-Inspired Technology Turns Cheese Waste into Fuel appeared fir…

Most people trust that the passwords, bank accounts, medical records and private messages they use every day are protected by encryption. But as quantum computing advances, some of today's most widely used security tools could eventually become breakable. That means information stolen now could potentially be saved and unlocked years later, when quantum computers are powerful enough to crack prot…

Advanced packaging is stretching semiconductor inspection in two directions at once: packages are getting larger while the features inside them are getting smaller.

Advanced packaging is reshaping the semiconductor value chain, making materials innovation a key source of technical breakthroughs. As large-format panel-level packaging (PLP) gains traction, Resonac CTO for semiconductor materials Hidenori Abe told DIGITIMES that the company sees five major materials challenges: warpage, plating, coating, bonding, and polishing.

MASON, Ohio — American agriculture is short on hands and long on acres. Farmers and ranchers now lean on artificial intelligence and smart systems to close that gap, from autosteering tractors to sensor-driven barns. The technology already works the land in more ways than most producers realize, and the reach keeps growing. The Labor Squeeze […] The post How AI and Smart Systems Can Reduce Strain…

Two things pushed us into it. The first is the bill. Not the price, the surprise. The second is that every self-hosted alternative we tried assumes you enjoy debugging a compose file at midnight. We don't. So we built the one we wanted to use. Talking more precisely, Deplo is an open source platform you install on your own server. Connect a repo, pick a server, and it builds it, runs it, puts it …

A Zipline software update has its drones dive to build speed and climb to brake. Here is why gravity makes them faster, quieter and cooler.

China answered Nepal's plea with four DJI FlyCart 100s flying up to 16 relief runs a day. The US put the same aircraft in a 100% tariff bracket on Sept. 3.

Tokyo-based startup MW is offering homes with built-in robotic housekeeping arms, a counter to a global embrace of humanoids. MW aims to sell its first robot-equipped home in Tokyo by 2028 and build as many as 10,000 units a year by 2035, the equivalent of 5% of new homes now being built in Japan, according […]

A drone team pulled off a wild night rescue on Squamish’s Stawamus Chief, using light and delivery drones to get a rope—and a jacket—to a stranded climber. The post A Climber Was Stuck on a Stawamus Chief Cliff. A Flying Drone Delivered a Jacket and a Rope to Save Him. appeared first on Outside Online .

Elon Musk’s SpaceXAI has built what may be the biggest battery in the U.S. at its controversial Memphis AI computing hub. The exact size of the battery is unclear. Canary Media counted 720 Tesla Megapack battery containers visible on the grounds of the Colossus 2 data center in satellite imagery dated July 11. That…

Researchers at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University and TSMC published a technical paper titled “High contrast EUV imaging enabled by topological quasi phase-only masks.” Abstract Excerpt: “Here, we propose a paradigm shift in EUV PSM technology by introducing molybdenum (Mo)-based quasi phase-only masks (quasi-POMs) with high reflectivity and minimal absorption. Through rigorous electromagne…

Apple's $2000 iPhone Duo has two rear cameras, but seemingly can't capture spatial photos or video for viewing on Apple Vision Pro.

Nobody in Washington thought of quantum computing as a security problem twenty-five years ago.

The new Level 2 residential EV charger features SmartAmp dynamic load management, enabling 11.5 kW charging without requiring costly home electrical service upgrades.
