Meta Platforms Inc. is shutting down end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages (DMs) after 8 May, a feature that never truly caught on. Researchers have made a breakthrough in altermagnetism, a new magnetic material that could lead to the end of the current memory and storage crisis.
A team of researchers from the National Institute for Materials Science, the University of Tokyo, Kyoto Institute of Technology, and Tohoku University have fabricated thin films of ruthenium dioxide (RuO₂) that display altermagnetism. This could be a game-changer for memory devices, which rely on magnetic materials to store data.
Meanwhile, a charging station called the DailyObjects Loft has been making waves, but it may not be as useful as it seems. Priced at ₹4,999, it has a good layout and colour options, but its Type-D ports are a limitation, making it a glorified power strip.
