In mid-July, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 impressed me with its size and weight. It's thinner than previous models and much more comfortable to hold. But Samsung's brand-new phone is still 12.1mm thick when folded. That's still thicker than last year's Honor Magic V2, which has a 9.9mm profile when closed. That is, Samsung couldn't beat one of its biggest rivals in the foldable phone niche. About a week after Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the Chinese vendor announced the Honor Magic V3, a foldable phone that's even thinner than its predecessor. It measures just 9.2mm when closed, which is incredible. Honor only launched the Magic V3 in China back then, without announcing plans for an international rollout. However, buyers won't have to wait until early next year to get their hands on the world's thinnest foldable phone. The Magic V2 launched in Europe in mid-January, suggesting the V3 could follow. Honor on Thursday hosted a launch event in Berlin, Germany, at IFA 2024, bringing the Magic V3 phone to Europe. Continue reading...

Mammoths became extinct on mainland Alaska just under 12,000 years ago. Or at least that’s the current consensus. This timeline supports the argument that the arrival of humans at the end of the last Ice Age, around 14,000 years ago, played a pivotal role in their demise. Nevertheless, recent discoveries on either side of Alaska have concluded that mammoths survived in both Canada and Siberia for much longer—until about 4,000 years ago on Siberia’s Wrangel Island and 5,600 years ago on St. Paul Island, Alaska. These findings have raised questions in the scientific community about the timing of mammoth extinction on the mainland and whether humans were indeed the primary cause. Over 1,500 fossils stored at the University of Alaska Museum of the North may hold the key to unlocking answers to these questions. The problem is that only a very small fraction of them have been dated and analyzed using the advanced technology currently available. The few that have been dated need revisiting since technology has improved substantially in recent years. To address this situation, the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) came up with a novel solution and launched their Adopt a Mammoth program in 2022, led by Matthew Wooller.
