For more than a century, pianists and music teachers have argued over whether a performer’s touch can actually change the tone color of a piano note — and now scientists say the answer is yes. Using a cutting-edge sensor system that tracked piano key movements at 1,000 frames per second, researchers discovered that elite pianists subtly manipulate keys in ways that listeners can genuinely hear, even if they’ve never played piano before.

Motorola Razr 70 Ultra/Razr Ultra 2026 in for review

We finally got our hands on the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra (aka Razr Ultra 2026 in North America), and it's looking quite familiar. Here it is next to its predecessor - physically, aside from the different back panel on these specific two models, there's not much of a difference. You've got mostly the same displays - 7.0-inch 165Hz on the inside, 4.0-inch cover screen; the same SoC - a now-aging... Read more

Scientists discovered that rice behaves in a highly unusual way: it weakens under rapid compression but stays stronger when pressure is applied slowly. Using this effect, they engineered a new material that reacts differently to gentle movements and sudden impacts. The material can adapt its stiffness automatically, opening the door to safer soft robots and protective equipment that responds instantly to collisions. Read more

For nearly 700 years, Indigenous hunters repeatedly used a bison kill site in central Montana—then suddenly stopped, even though bison were still abundant. Researchers uncovered evidence that recurring, decades-long droughts likely made the site less practical by reducing access to the water needed to process large numbers of animals. At the same time, hunting groups were shifting toward larger, more coordinated operations that required dependable resources and specialized locations. Read more
