Dozens of Amazon’s Own Products Have Been Reported as Dangerous — Melting, Exploding or Even Bursting Into Flames. Many Are Still on the Market.
An anonymous reader shares a report: Launched in 2009, AmazonBasics has grown to offer more than 5,000 products, according to the retailer. Its mission: identifying everyday items that Amazon can create at a similar or higher quality and lower price point when compared to existing name brands — a strategy also employed by companies such as Costco and Target. A growing…

Quirky response to magnetism presents quantum physics mystery
The search is on to discover new states of matter, and possibly new ways of encoding, manipulating, and transporting information. One goal is to harness materials’ quantum properties for communications that go beyond what’s possible with conventional electronics. Topological insulators—materials that act mostly as insulators but carry electric current across their surface—provide some tantalizing possibilities. …
Spectral classification of excitons
Ultrathin layers of tungsten diselenide have potential applications in opto-electronics and quantum technologies. LMU researchers have now explored how this material interacts with light in the presence of strong magnetic fields. …
Apple, Amazon, Google, and Zigbee Alliance Standard For Smart Home Tech On Track For 2021 Release
An anonymous reader quotes a report from MacRumors: Last year, Apple, Amazon, Google, and the Zigbee Alliance, which includes Ikea, Samsung, and Philips, announced a new working group known as “Project Connected Home over IP” that set about developing an IP-based open-source connectivity standard for smart home products, with a focus on increased compatibility, security, and simplified development for manufacturers. The…
The ‘Brushing’ Scam That’s Behind Mystery Parcels
If you’ve ever received a parcel from a shopping platform that you didn’t order, and nobody you know seems to have bought it for you, you might have been caught up in a “brushing” scam. From a report: It has hit the headlines after thousands of Americans received unsolicited packets of seeds in the mail, but it is not new. It’s…
Study identifies limits on the efficiency of techniques for reducing noise in quantum resources
Quantum technologies, such as quantum computers, quantum sensing devices and quantum memory, have often been found to outperform traditional electronics in speed and performance, and could thus soon help humans to tackle a variety of problems more efficiently. Despite their huge potential, most quantum systems are inherently susceptible to errors and noise, which poses a serious challenge to implementing and using…
Arm’s New Linux-Capable Cortex-R82 Processor Will Enable Drives That Both Store and Process Data
“Arm has announced its first 64 bit, Linux-capable Cortex-R processor, designed for computational storage solutions,” reports Electronics Weekly. SiliconAngle calls it “a chip designed to enable a new generation of storage devices that will not only hold data but also help process it.”
Such devices are part of an emerging hardware category known as computational storage. The technology promises to provide a…
California Wildfires Destroy Hidden Hill Observatory
New submitter fx4m writes: Historic Lick Observatory in California survived the current massive wildfires, but the nearby, much smaller Hidden Hill Observatory, run my the Tri-Valley Stargazers Astronomy Club, was not so lucky. The building, large amateur-built telescope, accessories, and electronics were all completely destroyed. Much of the assets of the science public outreach and education based non-profit organization went up…
