iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max will be using LTPO screens from LG, and Samsung
High refresh-rate displays have become a norm in high-end Android smartphones. Devices like Samsung Galaxy S20, OnePlus 8 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 10, Oppo Find X3, and Vivo X60 have a 120Hz refresh rate or higher. However, Apple is yet to implement this technology in its iPhones. The latest smartphones from Apple, the iPhone 12 series, still uses the outdated 60Hz refresh rate. The iPhone 12 series was expected to feature a 120Hz display but Apple didn’t move forward with it due to battery life concerns. Now, a new report claims that Apple has decided to use high refresh-rate display panels…

The Ingenuity helicopter unpacks its rotor blades to prepare for the 1st flight on the Red Planet
NASA’s wheeled rovers have revealed an incredible amount about Mars. From learning about the planet’s wet history and discovering the chemistry of its soil, to the puzzling presence of methane in its atmosphere, the rolling robots have been indispensable in painting a picture of one of Earth’s closest neighbors. They are remarkable, but they can’t cover a lot of ground — slow movement is critical to prevent them from tumbling over a cliff or colliding with a rock. But unfortunately they cannot fly short distances. Strapping a set of wings to a robot on another planet would open up a…

Fireflies generate powerful ultrasonic “musical” armour to protect themselves from turning into bat food
Fireflies use their light to attract mates. However, the downside of being visible to potential sexual partners is that it can bring you to predators’ attention. Scientists have now noticed that fireflies have evolved what sounds like a solution. When we think of camouflage, it’s usually a visual pattern. But how do you hide from a predator that uses sound to find food, like a bat? If you’re a firefly, it turns out you might resort to a cacophony of ultrasound that acts like “musical armor.” This is a sound wave that the human ear, and more importantly, the firefly itself…
