Materials scientists have found that egg white can be turned into a film-like substance that’s perfect for making memory units. Egg white contains more than 40 different proteins, containing iron, sodium and potassium ions, linked together with weak chemical bonds. “As a promising alternative to the conventional silicon-based nonvolatile memory, the egg albumen has more advantages than other materials,” Song told Phys.org. He added: “We will continue our investigation of the mechanism of resisti

The iPhone X is the most hotly anticipated smartphone of the year, but you might have to wait until next year to actually get your hands on one. The most optimistic of them is Gene Munster, a tech investor and analyst with Loup Ventures, but even he reckons the iPhone X won’t be in stock until January at the earliest. While these are just guesses – albeit educated ones – there are plenty of reasons to think the iPhone X might be in very, very short supply. Despite the high price tag it’s clear t

The delivery drones are coming, and they’re bearing coffee. As TechCrunch reports, the occasion marks the first successful delivery for Matternet , a logistics company focused on drones. The vans, provided by Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler, serve as helicopter landing pads of sorts for the drones. Once they land on the van’s roof, a person handles the actual delivery of the coffee to the door. Specifically, the drones Matternet uses are designed to carry impressive hefty payloads of up to

Spotify’s nifty personalized playlists are among the features that still make it a great alternative to the likes of Google Play Music and Apple Music, and the latest one brims with nostalgia appeal. You’re out of luck for a few years as it won’t even make a list for you. Alternatively, you can find the playlist on the Spotify app for iOS or Android under the Decades section of Browse. Spotify created a similar nostalgia-themed playlist earlier this year called “ Your Summer Rewind ,” which pull

That’s not because it’s not there — FM functionality is built into every Qualcomm and Intel chip used for the iPhone’s Wi-Fi and cellular capabilities — but Apple hasn’t enabled it. Back in 2014 the National Association of Broadcasters released a report questioning the absence of FM radio on iPhone, and then as now, Apple declined to comment. One reason Apple might be keeping built-in FM radio off on iPhones is because the feature might discourage customers from buying from iTunes or subscribing

Last year’s Google event saw the long-awaited reveal of the Google Pixel, Google Pixel XL and Google Daydream View.

Rockstar promised brand new Red Dead Redemption news on September 28 and it delivered in a big way with the game’s second official trailer. So, what have we learned about the game this time? Heading back in timeFrom what we can tell from the trailer, Red Dead Redemption 2 seems to be a prequel given that the antagonist from Red Dead Redemption, Dutch Van der Linde, shows his face at the end and his gang is a confirmed part of the action. Visually the game looks to be on the right track as anothe

With the release of a brand new software update, Nvidia has brought Google Assistant support to its Android-powered Shield TV. Considering it’s available in configurations for under £200/$200 this makes the Shield TV a very competitive streaming device. The great thing about being able to use Google Assistant on the Shield TV is that you’ll be able to see Google Assistant’s feedback on your TV screen as well as hear it. As well as Google Assistant support, Nvidia is also bringing in Samsung Smar

That’s when you need a free YouTube converter. This part of aTube Catcher’s interface isn’t as attractive as some other YouTube video converters, but that hardly matters. While installing Any Video Converter Free, you’ll be prompted to install ByteFence (an anti-malware tool) and a Yahoo browser extension. Its interface is almost identical to Free YouTube to MP3 converter – a clean, self-explanatory affair with more advanced settings tucked away in an Options menu. Review and where to download:

Assassin’s Creed has always been a franchise with a grand vision both in terms of the scale of its worlds and its narratives. Grand designsWith Assassin’s Creed Origins, Ubisoft is promising to reinvent the series with its biggest, most open game ever. “I’ve been working on [the series] for 11 years now, since Assassin’s Creed 1.

Using the Core i9-7980XE 18-core processor (with a base clock of 2.6GHz, Turbo to 4.2GHz) cooled with liquid nitrogen to around -100°C, expert ROG overclocker ‘der8auer’ managed to push the chip to 6.104GHz across all 18 cores (at 1.55V). All without the CPU being reduced to a melted pile of goop, although the system wasn’t stable enough to run benchmarks at this speed. New records were also achieved in 3DMark Vantage 2x with the CPU at 5.66GHz, with Italian overclocker ‘Rsannino’ achieving a sc

BullGuard Antivirus (the base product), BullGuard Internet Security and BullGuard Premium Protection (the flagship offering) will all benefit from a next-gen anti-malware engine which is capable of blocking previously unseen malware thanks to behavioural detection (and is bolstered by cloud-based machine learning tech). However, only Premium Protection benefits from the home network scanner, which runs automatically in real-time, proactively scanning the network (and indeed it’s capable of monit

Nvidia has just released new drivers for its PCIe graphics cards to ensure compatibility with the latest version of macOS 10.13, known as High Sierra. Driver version 378.10.10.10.15.114 introduces a raft of performance tweaks and bug fixes, along with compatibility for Pascal-based (i.e. Nvidia’s latest) GeForce and Quadro GPUs in the current version of High Sierra. This means that those with a Mac Pro running these graphics cards can (at least theoretically) safely upgrade to macOS 10.13. Also

The United States and Russia have formally agreed to collaborate on a NASA-led project to build a space station orbiting the Moon. Deep Space GatewayThe Moonbase will be the first step of a multi-stage project to send humans deeper into the Solar System called the Deep Space Gateway. The Lunar station would not only make it easier for people to visit the Moon, but also serve as a refuelling station for more distant missions. Once the not-very-exciting work of agreeing standards is complete, it’s

If you’re disappointed with the line-up of games included in the SNES Classic Mini, there is good news for you. According to a Reddit post, the same program that could be used to hack the NES Classic Mini works just as well on the new retro console.

Luckily, reverting back to the SNES kernel also proved pretty easy to do. Che
