When the iPhone 14 launched, one of its key talking points was its satellite connectivity. In case of an emergency, the iPhone 14 series could connect to a low-orbit satellite and send an SOS message, even when there is absolutely no cell signal on the phone. Android, of course, wouldn’t be left far behind either, as many OEMs have now promised to offer satellite connectivity support. But what exactly is satellite connectivity, and how does it work on iPhones and Android? We bring you the answer. What is satellite connectivity? A satellite phone, sometimes called a satphone, is a phone…

The Castle Rock City Council has approved the construction of a new T-Mobile communications tower at Butterfield Crossing Park amid mixed emotions from surrounding residents. The council’s unanimous approval of the tower comes after plans to build one at Bison Park were previously rejected. The tower is a 35-foot-tall structure attached to the pool locker room at Butterfield Crossing Park and will house T-Mobile 5G technology. Under the lease, T-Mobile agrees to pay $3,500 per month for the first year, with 3% increases each year. The lease term is for five years, with an option to extend. Most residents at…

The idea of being able to play console and PC-quality games on any mobile device has mostly been just a dream — until now. Thanks to emerging cloud gaming tech like Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming (formerly called Project xCloud), you can already get a glimpse of the hardware-free future.With the support of an incredible Xbox Game Pass library behind it, Xbox Cloud Gaming is poised to take the cloud gaming crown in 2024. Still, it may not be the right choice for you, depending on what you’re looking for. Competitors like GeForce Now might be a better fit if you…

Four teams from the University of Connecticut have been selected as top competitors nationwide for the U.S. Department of Energy’s virtual EnergyTech University Prize (UP) 2024. One group of students presented a project titled “PowerPulse: A Resilience Revolution for the U.S. Power Grid” as part of their award as an Explore Phase competitor. The students, including Rani Kamel, Alaa Selim, Soroush Vahedi, Essam Boraei, Mostafa Karami and Mohammadamin Rajabinezad, made their presentations late last month. “It was a great experience pitching our technology solution and competing against some great teams from the New England region,” said Selim. “Although we didn’t…

Starfysh modelModel overviewDeep generative models parameterized by neural networks have proven effective in analyzing single-cell RNA expression data (scvi-tools19, scVI20, totalVI21, scArches22, trVAE23, scANVI24, MrVI25 and so on). However, the presence of multiple cell types in each spot in ST data makes it difficult for these models to disentangle cell type-specific features. To overcome this limitation, Starfysh introduces a generative model with a special variational family that is structured to model the presence of multiple cell states per spot in ST data. The Starfysh generative model leverages gene set signatures (either existing signatures or signatures computed with archetypal analysis) as…

Kamya Elawadhi, CCO at Doceree, explains why female leadership is essential in healthcare technology: Female leadership represents a fundamental shift towards a more equitable, efficient and responsive healthcare ecosystem. At the heart of the health and technology transformation is a transformative force driven and led by some of the most underrepresented yet crucial change agents: women leaders. Their strategic vision and relentless efforts to forge new and innovative paths within the health system are more than just transformational. Let’s take a look at the pivotal role women are playing in healthcare’s technological renaissance, showing how female leadership is both influential…

In just a few decades, mobile phones have gone from a luxury reserved for the elite to an essential tool for billions of users. From the first in-car phones of the 1940s to the best smartphones of today, the evolution of cell phones is nothing short of remarkable. To that end, let’s look at the history of cell phones. We’ll go through the evolution one decade at a time — from the first-ever wireless network to the proliferation of mobile apps, it’s all here. Early portable phones: Pre-1970s cell phone historyThe modern cell phone owes its existence to automobiles and…

Mistrust surrounding genetic engineering stems from ethical concerns, fear of unanticipated consequences, and lack of transparency in communication, hindering its widespread acceptance and implementation. Governments, regulators, and research institutions should develop integrated communication strategies that build trust through active engagement and ensure informed decision-making. Scientists, educators, policymakers, and stakeholders must explain the scientific principles, potential benefits, and risks associated with genome editing through open and understandable dialogue. This requires cultural sensitivity, recognition of historical legacy, equitable access, strong public and community engagement, education initiatives, and international collaboration. Particular emphasis should be placed on developing products that provide clear benefits to…
