TAMPA, Fla. — Verizon is launching satellite-enabled emergency text and location services this fall for compatible Android smartphones in the United States at no extra cost for customers.
The telecoms giant announced a partnership Aug. 28 to deliver the service with Skylo, which has developed ground infrastructure enabling L-band geostationary satellites to reach devices using the latest standards-based chipsets.
Google’s family of Pixel Pro devices and the Samsung Galaxy S25 are set to be among the first to get access to Skylo’s partner satellites, enabling emergency narrowband connectivity when cell towers are out of reach.

Now 76, the inventor and futurist hopes to reach “the Singularity” and live indefinitely. His margin of error is shrinking.
Nanobots are tiny, ~50–100 nm wide robots that perform a single, highly specialized task. They work incredibly well for administering drugs. Drugs typically act throughout the body before entering the diseased area. The medication can be precisely targeted with nanotechnology, increasing its effectiveness and lowering the possibility of negative side effects. Special sensor nanobots can be inserted into the blood under the skin where microchips, coated with human molecules and designed to emit an electrical impulse signal, monitor the sugar level in the blood.
Direct meta-selective C–H functionalization of pyridines is of paramount importance, but such reactions remain limited and highly challenging. Here, the authors report an electrochemical methodology in which nucleophilic sulfinates allow meta-sulfonylation of pyridines through a redox-neutral dearomatization-rearomatization strategy.
In recent years, there have been many reviews investigating neuromorphic computing from the perspectives of device electrical properties,[ 9, 10 ] resistive switching materials,[ 11, 12 ] memristive synapses and neurons,[ 13 ] algorithm optimization,[ 14 ] and circuit design.[ 15 ] Different from the existing literature, we discuss the possibility of achieving brain-like computing from the perspective of memristor technology and review the establishment of spiking neural network neuromorphic computing systems. In this article, we first review the resistive switching mechanisms of different types of memristors and focus on factors, which affect device stability and the corresponding optimization measures that have been applied. Furthermore, we study the stochasticity, power consumption, switching speed, retention, endurance, and other properties of memristors, which are the basis for neuromorphic computing implementations. We then review various memristor-based neural networks and the building of spike neural network neuromorphic computing systems. Finally, we shed light upon the major challenges and offer our perspectives and opinions for memristor-based brain-like computing systems.
In the more than six million years since people and chimpanzees split from their common ancestor, human brains have rapidly amassed tissue that helps decision-making and self-control.
The large prefrontal cortex provides evolutionary and cognitive advantages over non-human primates — but there’s a cost.

Current osteoarthritis treatment manages symptoms rather than addressing the underlying disease, but a new University of Adelaide study has shown the condition may be treatable and reversible. The research is published in the journal Nature Communications.
Osteoarthritis is the degeneration of cartilage and other tissues in joints and is the most common form of arthritis in Australia, with one in five people over the age of 45 having the condition.
