HomeKit Weekly: Why aren’t we seeing new HomeKit Secure Video cameras?
HomeKit has become a powerful platform, with Apple consistently enhancing its features while staying true to its privacy-first approach. They’ve even contributed to the Matter standard, expanding what the Home app can do. But there’s a big proble.....»»
Why are black holes stable against their own gravity?
Neutron stars are timelike matter with a maximum mass of about 2.34 solar masses in quantum chromodynamics (the strong color force). Black holes are spacelike matter that have no maximum mass, but a minimum mass of 2.35 solar masses. Indeed, black ho.....»»
AI helps distinguish dark matter from cosmic noise
Dark matter is the invisible force holding the universe together—or so we think. It makes up about 85% of all matter and around 27% of the universe's contents, but since we can't see it directly, we have to study its gravitational effects on galaxi.....»»
First detection of cross-correlation between cosmic shear and X-ray background enhances baryonic matter understanding
A new study in Physical Review Letters offers the first detection of the cross-correlation between cosmic shear and diffuse X-ray background, helping to understand the distribution of baryonic matter in the universe......»»
Aqara shows off new smart home lineup with Matter support
Aqara revealed a long list of new products at IFA 2024, along with continued support for Matter. Here's a look at everything heading your way......»»
New method captures the stochastic dynamics in coherent X-ray imaging at the nanoscale
Coherent X-ray imaging has emerged as a powerful tool for studying both nanoscale structures and dynamics in condensed matter and biological systems. The nanometric resolution together with chemical sensitivity and spectral information render X-ray i.....»»
Providing blooms all season long may be key to attracting pollinators, no matter what landscape is near your garden
A diverse and abundant flower planting that provides flowers in bloom all season may be more important to bees and other pollinators than whatever is surrounding the flower garden, according to a study published September 4, 2024 in PLoS ONE by Devon.....»»
Intel Lunar Lake CPUs: everything we know about release date, performance, and specs
Intel's Lunar Lake is a mobile-first generation of energy-efficient CPUs that are arriving in a matter of weeks. Here's everything we know so far......»»
How to use Apple"s Dictionary app on its own, and in Look Up
No matter how long you've been reading, no matter how vast your vocabulary is, you'll always find words you just don't know from time to time. The Mac's built-in Dictionary app makes those moments exceedingly temporary.Apple's Dictionary app can be a.....»»
Starling Home Hub adds deeper HomeKit support for new 4th generation Nest thermostat
One reason I might consider upgrading to the new is its built-in Matter support. In practice, however, the Matter integration appears to be pretty lackluster. My favorite HomeKit bridge, the Starling Home Hub, has just released a new firmware up.....»»

SwitchBot has just made it easier to keep track of your wallet with its . It is fully integrated with Apple’s Find My network and can be used in smart homes with SwitchBot’s Matter-enabled lock. Thus, it looks to be a great device that solves t.....»»
SwitchBot releases Matter-enabled evaporative humidifier
SwitchBot has officially launched its latest Matter-enabled smart home product, the SwitchBot Evaporative Humidifier (Auto-refill). This new device aims to simplify home humidification by combining advanced technology with cold evaporation, offering.....»»
Apple"s embrace of Matter and new automation accessories on HomeKit Insider
On this episode of the HomeKit Insider Podcast, we cover several new products that have launched, go hands on with a new charger, and talk about Apple's perhaps self-destructive embrace of Matter.HomeKit Insider PodcastThis week IFA kicks off in Berl.....»»
85% of the matter in the universe is missing: But scientists are getting closer to finding it
Most of the matter in the universe is missing. Scientists believe around 85% of the matter in the cosmos is made of invisible dark matter, which has only been detected indirectly by its gravitational effects on its surroundings......»»
Researchers create entangled quantum magnets with protected quantum excitations
When different quantum states combine, new collective states of matter can emerge. In the quantum realm, combining components such as atoms that possess quantum effects can give rise to macroscopic quantum states of matter, featuring exotic quantum e.....»»
Pioneering research suggests nature of dark matter is more elusive than ever
New results from the world's most sensitive dark matter detector narrow down its characteristics, edging closer to unraveling one of the biggest mysteries of the universe......»»
Apple all-in on struggling Matter, to the detriment of HomeKit Accessory Protocol
Apple has privately and publicly pledged its support to new smart home standard Matter over its own HomeKit Accessory Protocol, but customer confusion and a staggered rollout has put the damper on widespread adoption.Apple tries to push Matter forwar.....»»
Dark matter could have helped make supermassive black holes in the early universe
It takes a long time for supermassive black holes, like the one at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, to form. Typically, the birth of a black hole requires a giant star with the mass of at least 50 of our suns to burn out—a process that can take.....»»
