Motorola is going ultra premium with its $1,600 ‘Signature’ phone

Motorola is trying something it hasn't attempted in the modern smartphone era: to make an all-out flagship slab-style phone.

The touchscreen MacBook Pro is a winner

I keep forgetting the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display has a touchscreen. I've been testing this new laptop, one of the most impressive Apple has ever created, for the better part of a week. I can't stop noticing some of its other features: the slimmer design, the improved display, the Dynamic Island that somehow […]

Multiphysics Modeling for Next-Generation Electromagnetic Manufacturing Technologies

Advances in sensing, manufacturing, computational resources, and data-driven methods are enabling new approaches to electromagnetic sensing, non-destructive evaluation, and advanced materials processing. This webinar will demonstrate how the COMSOL Multiphysics software supports predictive modeling by coupling electromagnetic fields with thermal, chemical, mechanical, and transport phenomena across multiple length and time scales. The first application we will show focuses on eddy-current thermometry for reconstructing three-dimensional temperature fields in metal plates. Temperature-dependent

Why a Mathematician Is Chasing Eclipses With Algorithms and Cameras

The sun hangs low over the plains of Castile and León, in the north-central region of Spain. But from a slope of the mountain Pico Trigaza , it appears that a few puffy white clouds have started to block the sun. That’s vexing. A group of researchers, some wearing cardboard eclipse glasses, is clustered around sets of portable telescopes and cameras connected to laptops. All this gear is scattered on tabletops perched on the mountainside. On the computer screens, the sun’s disk looks like a deep orange crescent that is slowly waning. That’s because the moon began to crawl across it about half
