#1 Samsung Galaxy Edge 25
Samsung has just introduced the Galaxy S25 Edge, its thinnest flagship smartphone yet, measuring a mere 5.8mm in thickness. The super-slim phone features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and a 200MP primary camera that is fitted with AI-enhanced features like ProScaler and the Digital Natural Image engine for high-quality low-light images. The S25 Edge also introduces high-end on-device AI capabilities, including Samsung-exclusive features like Now Bar and Drawing Assist, and introduces Google’s new Gemini AI for real-time conversational support. In its razor-thin body, the phone still features effective heat management with a better vapor chamber. The Galaxy S25 Edge starts at $1,099.99, coming to the U.S. starting May 30, 2025, and pre-orders are already available through major retailers. Although this appears to be a highly promising piece of technology, I will always purchase apple iPhones.
#2 Fossilized footprints found in Australia
In a breakthrough discovery, scientists in Australia discovered fossilized claw marks that date back approximately 354 to 358 million years, significantly pushing the timeline for the evolution of amniotes—the ancestors of reptiles, birds, and mammals—back by about 40 million years. These trackways, in the region around Mansfield, Victoria, include five-toed impressions with obvious claws, demonstrating that the earliest reptiles could have arisen in Gondwana, the ancient southern supercontinent, and not the north as was previously assumed. Hooked claws show complete terrestrial adaptation, e.g., the laying of eggs on land. This discovery not only provides the first account of amniotes on Earth but also yields important data on the ways early land animals lived and evolved, indicating a quicker shift from aquatic to land than was formerly thought.
#3
In a first for ocean research, scientists have, for the first time, captured video of a colossal squid in its natural deep-sea habitat near the Sandwich Islands. The elusive creature, the world’s largest invertebrate, was filmed by a remotely operated vehicle from the Schmidt Ocean Institute at a depth of about 2,000 feet. The video captures a juvenile squid, about one foot long, with a translucent body. To date, data on this species had been limited to those caught by fishing vessels or retrieved from predator stomachs. This groundbreaking observation offers a glimpse into the behavior and development of these mysterious deep-sea dwellers.
