Earlier today, Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, along with the Fold 8 and the Flip 8. Now, aside from tacking ‘Ultra’ onto the name, the Z Fold 8 Ultra looks and feels a lot like last year’s Z Fold 7. I’ve even put them next to each other, and apart from last year’s much more vivid colorway, I legitimately couldn’t tell the difference between them.

Microplastics are an increasing global concern, with growing evidence of their presence in water systems. RMIT University researchers have developed a water treatment material that rapidly removes micro- and nanoplastics and some PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), bringing the technology closer to real-world use. The invention builds on the team's 2022 breakthrough in microplastics removal, extending its performance to much smaller particles and more complex wastewater.

In a new study, researchers at Leipzig University have identified a major cause of the unusually severe summer soil drying and rising temperatures across Europe. They found that much of the trend can be attributed to changes in atmospheric circulation patterns—that is, shifts in the weather regimes that typically occur over Europe. These changes account for around 55% of the observed summer drought trend. Specifically, more frequent and persistent high-pressure systems have brought drier conditions and reduced rainfall.
