 Picture this: a computer sitting in a lab, essentially “thinking up” brand new forms of life from scratch. That’s exactly what just happened at Stanford and the Arc Institute, where researchers used artificial intelligence to design viruses that can actually kill bacteria. And yes, these AI-created viruses work in real life. Here’s how wild this is, it’s the first time anyone has used AI to dream up an entire viral genome from nothing. |  Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL has taken the number one spot in DxOMark’s display rankings, edging past not only rivals like the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Honor Magic8 Pro. The phone, launched in August 2025 and priced at $1,199, scored the highest marks in both the global and ultra-premium categories. On paper, its 6.8-inch LTPO OLED panel doesn’t look like a huge leap over last year’s Pixel 9 Pro XL. But DxOMark highlights a number of refinements that together make it the best display they’ve tested. |
 It was reported at the beginning of this year that HMD Global had discontinued all Nokia-branded smartphones. Now, a new report by PTI reveals that Nokia has agreed to extend its licensing deal with HMD Global for several more years. While HMD Global will not be selling Nokia-branded smartphones, it will continue offering Nokia feature phones. Sources familiar with the matter said the extension will take the arrangement beyond the original expiry date of 2026. |  Baseus has launched the EnerFill FN11 Mini Cube GaN charger in China. The charger is listed on JD.com at 199 yuan (around $28) and includes a 1.5-meter USB-C cable. The charger delivers up to 100W of power from a single USB-C port, enough to charge a 14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Pro in about 1 hour and 40 minutes. It comes with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, allowing up to three devices to charge at the same time. |
