Start your week off right and check out our hands-on review of 2021's best laptop so far, a feature story about living biological robots, and a gorgeous new photo from the Hubble Space Telescope. Enjoy!
I may have found the perfect laptop. Or, at the very least, something that comes very close.
It's not made by Apple, Microsoft, or even Dell. It doesn't even look particularly remarkable from the outside. When I pulled the Asus ZenBook 13 OLED out of its box, I fully expected it to be another solid midrange laptop.
Then I tested the 1080p OLED screen. And benchmarked the AMD Ryzen 7 5800U processor inside. And then noticed how long it lasted on a single charge.
The Asus ZenBook 13 OLED has it all. Almost. Despite a couple of flaws, the ZenBook 13 OLED (UM325) is a laptop all potential buyers should consider when it becomes widely available in May.
In 2020, a new life-form arrived on Earth. More specifically, it arrived in a laboratory — the Levin Lab at Tufts University in Massachusetts.
As alien species go, these were no little green men or any other science-fiction cliché. They looked more like tiny black specks of fine sand moving slowly around in a Petri dish. And while they're not alien in the extraterrestrial definition, they certainly are in the sense that they're strange. These so-called "xenobots" are living biological automatons that may just signal the future of robotics as we know it.
The scientists working with the Hubble Space Telescope have shared another spectacular image of space. This image shows Galaxy M61, located in the Virgo Cluster, with its spiral arms and regions of star formation shown in red.
The image was created using data from the space-based Hubble,and supplemented by data from other instruments like the FOcal Reducer and Spectrograph 2 (FORS 2) camera at the European Southern Observatory's ground-based Very Large Telescope.
This galaxy is notable in that it appears "face on" to us from Earth — that is, it appears almost completely flat, allowing us an excellent view of the structures of the galaxy. Even though it is located 52 million light-years away, it is still a popular target for astronomical observations because of its face-on appearance.
Windows 10 is ubiquitous. Many of us depend on it every day for both work and play. But there are a few features right under your nose in Windows that you might not be aware of. Here are seven things that you didn't know you could do in Windows 10 that might make your life a little easier.
