ESA plans to study the wind by shooting lasers from space

The project will study how winds work in order to improve weather tracking, scanning and gauging clouds, air and whatever else is up there in the sky. It’s all centered around atmospheric dynamics: thunderstorms, hurricanes, jet streams and worldwide air circulation. The setup involves lasers that will beam UV light at Earth. As this bounces off small particles and air molecules, the part that’s bounced back towards the...

Apple Introduces iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus

Innovation isn’t always obvious to the eye, but look a little closer at iPhone 6s and you’ll find it’s been fundamentally improved. The enclosure is made from a new alloy of 7000 Series aluminum — the same grade used in the aerospace industry. The cover glass is the strongest, most durable glass used in any smartphone. And a new rose gold finish joins space gray, silver, and gold. Learn more about iPhone 6s design The rest is here:...

Analyst claims Apple Watch 2 due later this year

Some of those additions would easily pass a smell test, like the addition of a built-in barometer and better waterproofing. Those seem like the sort of decent, incremental refinements that Apple is famous for producing year-on-year. But the more capacious battery seems a little harder to swallow given Sir Jonathan Ive’s well-publicized aversion to adding power at the expense of thickness. Although it’s likely that smaller...
