If you’re an iPhone user, then you might want to check out Google’s new update for Chrome on iOS, which adds new customization options for the New Tab Page, which were previously reserved for the desktop version of the browser. That said, the update allows iPhone and iPad users to personalize their start page with wallpapers and theme colours. Until now, Chrome on iOS offered extremely limited customization only allowing for light or dark mode changes. Google is now addressing this gap by making the full personalization menu available directly within the Chrome beta, without the need for hidden settings or experimental flags. As spotted by the folks over at MacObserver, Users can access the new “Customize Home Page” panel by simply tapping the pencil icon located in the top-left corner of the New Tab Page, which will display several available wallpapers. Additionally, tapping the “+” icon unlocks more detailed personalization with access to “Themes,” “Camera Roll” for personal images, and “Colours” for custom color schemes. Google is expected to roll out these detailed New Tab Page customization features to more iPhone and iPad users in the stable release soon.

Samsung’s wild tri-fold phone might be closer than we thought. The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold just picked up certification from Singapore’s IMDA. That’s usually a pretty good sign that launch day is right around the corner. The paperwork reveals model number SM-F968B/DS with all the specs you’d expect. We’re talking dual SIM, 5G, NFC, WiFi, Bluetooth, and Ultra Wideband. Singapore looks like it’ll be one of the first places to actually get the thing, along with the UAE and Taiwan. Singapore Certification Hints Launch Is Close So here’s the thing about this IMDA certification. The Galaxy Z TriFold will pack dual SIM support, which is great if you’re juggling multiple phone numbers. It’s also perfect for international travel. The inclusion of UWB tech is interesting too. That’s typically reserved for Samsung’s more premium devices. It enables better location tracking and smoother device-to-device features. Samsung showed off the device at the APEC conference back in South Korea. However, they’ve been pretty tight-lipped about when we’ll actually be able to buy one. Certifications like this usually pop up a few weeks before launch though. The rollout seems limited to Singapore, Taiwan, and the UAE at first. That makes sense given the experimental nature and that eye-watering $2,400 price tag floating around in rumors. What We Know About the Specs So Far Based on the latest leaks, Samsung isn’t holding back on hardware. We’re looking at a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and up to 16GB of RAM. There’s also a tri-battery setup that adds up to around 5,000mAh total. The screen situation is pretty cool. It starts as a regular 6.5-inch phone, expands to 8 inches, then goes full 10-inch tablet mode when completely unfolded. Camera-wise, Samsung’s apparently bringing over that 200MP sensor from the Galaxy Z Fold 7. That should mean seriously good photos. The folding mechanism uses a “G-shape” design that folds inward. This protects the screens better than Huawei’s outward-folding approach. Samsung’s also learned from earlier foldables by using reinforced hinges and ultra-thin glass. Don’t expect to see these everywhere though. Production is supposedly limited to just 50,000 units for the initial run. As for the US, recent intel suggests Americans might have to sit this one out. At least for now. But if you’re in Singapore, the certification means you might not have to wait much longer. The post Is Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold About to Drop?

Christopher Gardner is exuberant in his distress. Wearing a black sweatshirt emblazoned with the word “SCIENCE” in all caps one recent afternoon, the Stanford nutrition scientist threw his arms over his head and declared: “Science is under attack.” Gardner could have been referring to any number of recent headlines. On this particular day, the shaggy-haired professor was talking about something health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has promised to do by year-end: change U.S. dietary guidelines to encourage consumption of more saturated fat. Read the rest…

James Watson, who won the Nobel Prize for co-discovering the structure of DNA, died last week at the age of 97. He was a scientific giant, but in the final two decades of his life, he falsely stated that women and Black people are, as populations, not as smart as white men. Nancy Hopkins knew Watson better than most, having first worked with him when she was just an undergraduate. She is a retired MIT professor known for her work on zebrafish as a cancer model, and for her advocacy on behalf of women in science. She is the co-founder of the Boston Biotech Working Group, which aims to foster women faculty as founders and board members.Read the rest…
