  • NASA Webb Space Telescope has discovered a rare star that is about to evolve into a “supernova”

    IT Home News on March 15, NASA shared a latest image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which shows a star that is about to become a “supernova” – WR 124. The star is located in Sagittarius, about 15,000 light-years from Earth.

    ▲ The composite image of Wolf-Rayet 124 (WR 124) combines the near-infrared and medium-infrared wavelength light from Weber’s near-infrared camera and mid-infrared instruments.

    The star was first discovered in June 2022 and is currently undergoing the Wolf-Rayet phase.

    IT Home Science Popularization: Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are very rare alien stars. They have unusual spectra and are evolving high-quality stars. Their mass is usually 8-25 times that of the Sun, but their diameter is not large, generally only 1.5-4 times that of the Sun. Most WR stars are late stars that have experienced the red supergiant phase. The outer “hydrogen” has been completely exhausted (it has been transformed into helium and has undergone a hydrogen nuclear fusion phase), while the heavy elements on the surface are already very abundant and have a strong stellar wind (300 to 2000 km / s).

    It is reported that the effective surface temperature of WR is between 30,000K and 210,000K, which is almost hotter than all other types of stars, so it is one of the brightest stars in the universe. They were previously known as W-type stars because of their W-type spectrum and are in the final stages of the evolution of massive stars.

    In fact, only some high-quality stars would undergo such a transformation before their final explosion, and they were often one of the largest and brightest objects in the night sky.

    In the case of WR 124, NASA estimates that the mass of the star is 30 times that of the Sun, and has so far shed about 10 solar masses of material. Over time, the gas released will cool down and form cosmic dust.

    Of course, for some reasons, many astronomers are keen to study cosmic dust, which is also a basic component of the universe.

    As NASA points out, it can shelter merging stars and even gather together to form planets. However, there is no theory to explain how much cosmic dust there is in the universe. It is hoped that JWST can help astronomers solve this mystery.

    NASA said: “Before Weber, astronomers who loved cosmic dust did not have enough detailed information to explore the problems caused by dust in environments like WR 124, and whether the dust particles were large and rich enough to survive the supernova explosion and the whole dust The Egyptian budget has made a significant contribution. And now these problems can be investigated with real data.

  • Google, announce a big move!

    Google’s flagship AI products ushered in a major update.

    On Wednesday, Alphabet’s Google announced that it was testing a new artificial intelligence search mode called “AI Mode”. This new feature allows users to ask more complex multi-part questions and integrate multiple query results to provide more coherent and in-depth answers.

    Unlike traditional keyword search, AI Mode can run multiple related searches at the same time in the background, predict subtopics that users may be interested in, and generate comprehensive and integrated answers. According to Robby Stein, vice president of Google Search Products, this function will run on independent tabs outside the main search page, which is especially suitable for handling complex queries, beyond the limitations of traditional search engines.

    AI Mode is based on Google’s latest flagship AI model, Gemini 2.0, and has the ability to process text, images and videos. Early test data shows that the length of users’ queries in AI mode is twice that of ordinary searches.

    It is worth noting that AI Mode will first be open to paid users who subscribe to Google AI packages. This move marks a subtle change in Google’s search business model – Google search has long been provided free of charge.

    The launch of AI Mode is against the background of Google’s increased investment in the field of AI search. Last year, Google introduced generative AI into search engines and launched the “AI Overviews” function, enabling AI to answer some user queries directly at the top of the search results. According to the analysis, the test of AI Mode is an important step for Google to maintain the competitiveness of the search engine market and meet the challenges of emerging enterprises such as OpenAI.

    However, Google’s in-depth exploration in the direction of AI search has also aroused the concerns of online content creators. Many websites rely on Google search to divert traffic, and AI directly provides answers that may reduce the need for users to click on the original web page, which will affect website traffic.

    On Wednesday, Google’s stock price fell by nearly 1% and rose by more than 1.5%.

    Since the beginning of 2025, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has continued to develop rapidly. At present, several technology companies around the world are competing to release the latest version of their artificial intelligence models. These models have faster answering ability, stronger multimodal ability, and enhanced reasoning and generation ability, which will bring users a more intelligent user experience and inject new momentum into all walks of life.

    On the evening of February 17, local time, xAI, a well-known American entrepreneur Elon Musk, officially released the latest artificial intelligence model Grok 3, which introduces advanced functions including image analysis and questions and answers to support various functions on the social media platform X. Musk said that Grok 3 uses a large data center with about 200,000 GPUs for training, and its computing power is 10 times that of the previous generation version of Grok 2.

    On February 5, Google announced the launch of optimized versions of a number of “Gemini 2.0” series models, including the “Gemini 2.0 Lightning” model and the economic and experimental versions of the model, all of which will provide multi-modal input and text output. According to Google’s official blog, this update further enhances the ability of the “Gemini 2.0” series models in multi-modal reasoning, coding performance and processing complex tips, and improves cost-effectiveness.

    OpenAI launched the “Research Preview Version” of the GPT-4.5 AI model on February 28, claiming that the interaction is more natural, the knowledge base is broader, the user’s intentions are better understood, and the “emotional intelligence” is higher.

    OpenAI announced today that it has launched GPT-4.5 to ChatGPT Plus users earlier than expected.

  • It was revealed that Tesla announced the new details of Model Q on April 22 or adopted a through-light group.

    [CNMO Technology News] On April 15, according to foreign media reports, Tesla may disclose the detailed information of the new entry-level model after announcing the financial report of the first quarter on April 22. The hypothetical diagram of this model called “Model Q” by netizens has been leaked, and the front face adopts a through similar to the new Model Y. Style design.

    Imaginary diagram of Tesla Model Q

    In January this year, a blogger found in the aerial photography of the Texas Super Factory that the CyberCab test car, which had no steering wheel, was suddenly equipped with a traditional control device. Industry insiders have two interpretations of this: some people think that Tesla is simulating real driving scenarios to improve the ability of autonomous driving systems to cope with emergencies; some people speculate that it may be a Model Q prototype based on the CyberCab platform. According to available information, this new car is likely to continue the architecture of CyberCab, but the size will be significantly reduced – the length of the car is controlled at 4.4 meters, and the wheelbase is 2.75 meters, which is 15% shorter overall and the weight is reduced by 30% compared with Model 3.

    Imaginary diagram of Tesla Model Q

    Tesla’s Chief Financial Officer Vaibhav Taneja made it clear on January 29 this year that this economical electric vehicle is still advancing as planned and is expected to be officially launched into the market in the first half of 2025. Some media speculate that the release date is in June. From the perspective of the time node, considering the decline in Tesla’s sales in the first quarter of this year, the upcoming financial report may become an important weather vane in the research and development process of Model Q. Whether this strategic model can be launched as scheduled will directly affect Tesla’s layout in the mainstream consumer market.

  • The James Webb Space Telescope closely observed the asteroid 2024 YR4

    NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope took an image of the Sagittarius C star nursery in the center of the Milky Way in 2023, followed up on it, revealing the jets of the original star that are still forming, and gain an in-depth understanding of the impact of strong magnetic fields on interstellar gases and star life cycles.

    “A big problem in the central molecular region of the Milky Way is that if there are so many dense gases and cosmic dust here, and we know that stars are formed in such clouds, why are there so few stars born here?” John Barry, an astrophysicist at the University of Colorado Boulder, one of the chief researchers, said. Now, for the first time, we can directly see that strong magnetic fields may play an important role in inhibiting star formation, even on a small scale.

    Detailed research on this crowded, dusty area of stars has been limited, but Weber’s advanced near-infrared instruments have enabled astronomers to study young stars through the clouds in an unprecedented way.

    “The extreme environment in the center of the Milky Way is a fascinating place to test the theory of star formation, and the infrared function of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope provides us with an opportunity to conduct further research on the basis of important ground-based observations of telescopes such as ALMA and MeerKAT in the past,” Samuel Crowe, another chief researcher of the study, a senior undergraduate at the University of Virginia and a Rhodes scholar in 2025, said.

    Bally and Crowe each hosted and published a paper in the Journal of Astrophysics.

    The star formation region Sagittarius C photographed by the James Webb Space Telescope is about 200 light-years away from the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* in the center of the Milky Way. The spectral index at the bottom left shows how to assign color to radio data to create images. At the negative end, there is non-thermal radiation, which is stimulated by electrons rotating around the magnetic field line. At the positive end, thermal radiation comes from thermal ionized plasma. For Weber, color is distributed by converting the infrared spectrum into visible light color. The shortest infrared wavelength is bluer, while the longer wavelength looks redder.

  • Apple’s six-sided screen iPhone patent exposed: all-glass design, appearance subversion

    As we all know, the front of the traditional touch device adopts a glass cover, but the six-sided screen iPhone shell described by Apple’s new patent is all made of glass, including the side and back. Although the device is made of multiple pieces of glass, it looks like a whole piece of glass, subverting the existing iPh. One form.

    Thanks to the all-glass body design, the side and back of the six-screen iPhone can also display content, and the side and back will also be equipped with touch and pressure sensing systems, so as to achieve “full interaction”.

    Not only that, when the user flips the mobile phone, the display content will also intelligently follow the user’s perspective and automatically jump to the other side. And this device is also equipped with a pressure sensing device, which can adjust the height of the volume button when the user presses the side.

    It is worth noting that the patents exposed this time also include Mac and Apple Watch. The relevant patents show that the shells of these two devices are made of glass, and the whole is transparent.

  • iPhone 16e actual test: performance images are all available, and the battery life signal is a surprise! | Evaluation of Huangjia

    It is said that the price of the iPhone 16e is too high, and it will start from 3,999 after the national supplement. After a search, I found that the new iPhone 15 only starts from 4,999 after the national supplement, and the price difference is negligible, but one has a dual camera, one has AI in the plan; one has a flexible island, and the other has an A18 processor. If you happen to have an iPhone in your hand, how should you choose?

    In this episode of the program, let’s talk about whether this 16e is worth buying compared with the iPhone 16 of the same series and the iPhone 15 with a similar price.

    Click here to watch the video

    Outward appearance

    First of all, in terms of appearance, the iPhone 16e weighs 167 grams and is 7.8 mm thick, which is lighter than 15 and 16. This weight range is also quite friendly to the little thumb. When it comes to the frame, the iPhone 16e is equipped with an additional operation button compared with the iPhone 15, but it lacks a camera control button compared with the iPhone 16. Although the level is strict and the knife is accurate, the future visual recognition AI will start quickly, and the press conference said that the operation button can be used.

    As a model that replaces the iPhone SE, the biggest changes that can be perceived without turning on the iPhone 16e are three points. The National Bank of China has upgraded the dual SIM slot, a more convenient USB-C interface, and Face ID. The level is still strict and has not been on the island, but the narrow bangs scheme that has been optimized before has been used. The actual test Face ID module has not been castrated. It supports horizontal unlocking, and cannot lie down and cannot recognize human faces.

    In addition to the flexible island, the front frame will also be thicker. Let’s open the big mirror to compare, it’s about this level! The screen was also replaced with 60Hz OLED. The eye protector felt that they were going blind, but the display effect was indeed improved by leaps compared with LCD. 16e also supports original color display and HDR, but it is basically the same as the screen of iPhone 14 in terms of hardware quality. The maximum brightness is reduced from 1000 nits of 15 and 16 to 800 nits, and the brightness of HDR display is also reduced from 1600 nits to 1200 nits. At the same time, it does not have Yang The excitation brightness under light, the Cook knife method is complex.

    When it comes to the back, the 16e in my hand is a white frosted glass back panel. The design of the back cover is quite simple. The design of the single camera will not interfere with the fingers when holding it, and it can’t touch the steps of the camera at all. Those users who say every day that they can give me a camera scan the code, it is recommended to buy it as soon as possible. But what I didn’t expect was that there was also a knife on the back, and he also castrated a Magsafe with thick eyebrows and big eyes that was harmless to humans and animals. Really, the cook, you… A few iron suction stones are not spared. For users who want to decorate their mobile phones with magnetic suction, or those who need in-car magnetic suction, they have to rely on three-party mobile phone cases in the future.

    Finally, in terms of color selection, this year’s 16e only has black and white, either with a case, or look at iPhone 15 and iPhone 16.

    Natural capacity

    After reading the design of the appearance, let’s take a look at the biggest competitiveness of the iPhone 16e compared with the iPhone 15, the A18 chip. However, taking you to review the press conference, this A18 was also cut from a 5-core GPU to a 4-core GPU.

    In the CPU test of GeekBench 6, the results of single-core 3124 and multi-core 8005 were scored. Compared with the A18 running score on 16, there was no obvious difference. Compared with the A16 on 15, the single-core improved by 19.4% and the multi-core improved by 25.2%, which is a cross-generation upgrade.

    In the GPU test, first of all, GFX Bench 1440P Aztec Ruins Metal running score, the A18 on 16e scored 2995, compared with the standard version of A18 running score of 3807 points, which is about 21.3% lower, which happens to be one core less. The level of heart can’t even run over the 5-core A16 on the iPhone 15.

    In the cross-platform 3D Mark Steel Nomad Light and the Solar Bay test of light light chasing, this A18 ran 1,321 points and 5878 points respectively. Compared with the full-blooded A18, the reduction was 22% and 13% respectively, and also It belongs to the normal level of cutting a core. Compared with A16, the A18 also has a gap of several points in terms of SNL’s running score, but the A18, which is only held in Solar Bay, can still run faster than the A16 with pure GPU calculation.

    Therefore, judging from the overall running score, a knife on the core scale will still weaken a large part of the performance. Is the game performance of this A18 knife version not good?

    Judging from the actual test, the answer is yes, even worse than iPhone 15. We tested the 30-minute original god 3.0 running map, and the high-quality running map of the higher-load Star Iron Golden Moment.

    Here, the iPhone 16e has an average frame rate of 58.3, a fluctuation of 7.8, and an average power consumption of 4.27 watts in Genshin. The highest temperature on the front is 44.9 and 46.7 degrees on the back. Compared with the previously tested iPhone 16 and 15, the frame rate, power consumption and heat dissipation performance are all Fixed gap.

    In the Star Iron Run Chart, the average frame rate of iPhone 16e is 56.7, the fluctuation is 21.4, and the average power consumption is 4.58 watts, with a maximum of 42.5 degrees on the front and 45.4 degrees on the back. Such a frame rate curve performance is a little unstable enough. Compared with the iPhone 16 and i with heat dissipation support Phone 15, the game performance is not excellent, but this is also in our expectation. The lack of a GPU is indeed a hard injury.

    Therefore, this A18 can be viewed in this way. The stronger CPU may be smoother than the iPhone 15 over time in the longer replacement cycle in the future, but the peak performance and gaming ability are strictly limited at the beginning. I think Apple’s intention is also very clear. Our iPhone 16 games are better. Go and buy them.

    However! Although the A18 is directly disabled, this time Apple has broken through the Qualcomm card neck on the baseband, equipped with the first self-developed C1 baseband chip. As a common problem of poor iPhone signal, can the support of C1 bring progress?

    In the past two days, we have also tested its 5G network performance. In terms of 5G peak download speed, in the scenario where our office signal is not good, the average peak of the telecom N78 network is 450.8Mbps, the radio and television N41 network is 340.4Mbps, and the outside environment is 67 respectively. 2.6 megabytes per second and 704 megabytes per second.

    Compared with the iPhone 16 with Qualcomm’s baseband, the average telecommunications in the same indoor environment is 427.3Mbps, the radio and television is 406.9Mbps, and the average telecommunications in the outdoor environment is 712.5Mbps, and the radio and television is 736.3Mbps. At present, the downside peak of the two devices has not been significantly increased. The difference.

    At the same time, for the signal strength, we also recorded tests in offices, office building elevators, basements and outdoor environments respectively. Under the telecommunications and radio and television networks, the iPhone signal strength of the four scenarios, at present, the iPhone 16 is stronger in our usage environment, but this does depend on the impact of the environment, operator and base station, and our results are only for our test this time.

    Did Apple develop a loneliness by itself? No, the power consumption performance of this baseband is very surprising. The actual test of the power consumption of 5G network download Genshinde’s complete 28G data packets. Here, the power consumption of iPhone 16e is 28%, compared with 37% of the power consumption of iPhone 16 and 41% of the power consumption of iPhone 15, the overall power consumption performance Compared with Qualcomm’s baseband, it has been greatly improved, and the use under the cellular network will also save more power.

    However, if you are interested in this baseband and want more accurate data, we can also arrange to go to the laboratory for testing in the future and add a little to it. Remember to pay attention to Huangjia’s evaluation. If you want to see it, you can like it!

    Another key upgrade of the 16e this time is the battery life. It is tested with the battery life of the death model evaluated by Huangjia. The battery life of the iPhone 16e is 8 hours and 14 minutes, ranking 80th in the ranking list. Compared with the 7 hours and 8 minutes of the iPhone 16 and the 6 hours and 33 minutes of the 15, This battery life improvement should reassure everyone, and the battery life even exceeds that of iPhone 16 Plus. However, no matter how much the iPhone optimizes the power consumption, it is indeed difficult to run over the domestic models with crazy battery capacity. It is still difficult to make up for the physical gap, but in the field of small-screen iPhone, it can be said to be far ahead.

    So with the increase in the battery, has the charging efficiency of the iPhone 16e changed? We also directly look at the complete charging curve. The total time of 0-100 is 1 hour and 45 minutes, and the peak power is about 23 watts. Compared with the peak 45 watts upgraded on 16, the speed of the first 50% will be slower, but Apple also gave the previous relatively fast charging, but the full time has reached the beginning of 100 minutes.

    Portrait

    After reading the performance, what are the differences between the single-camera combat 16e and the standard version in terms of image? This time, the iPhone 16e is equipped with a fusion camera with 48 million pixels, 26 mm focal length and f1.6 aperture. Compared with the standard version, which cuts the ultra-wide angle, the most intuitive effect is the portrait mode. 16e can only calculate the depth of field through algorithms, and can only be used to shoot people. If you turn on the milk Tea shop, take a picture of milk tea, it won’t come out.

    ‍

    Judging from the actual portrait, first of all, the iPhone 16e relies on pure algorithmic keying, and the calculation effect at the edge of the hair is not so accurate, while the standard version of 16 can achieve relatively complete character recognition, and the physical depth of field effect is also more obvious. In terms of facial details, it is more accurate to be a set of 16 samples, and the skin color is also more well-proportioned and pleasing.

    One ultra-wide angle is missing. In addition to affecting the portrait mode, macro shooting, movie mode and motion mode cannot be supported together. Not to mention the accuracy of Cook’s knife, one less camera, the image function directly opens the gap between the three generations.

    At the same time, the only camera of the iPhone 16e also cuts off the sensor displacement and anti-shake, and according to physical comparison, the module size is also smaller than that of the iPhone 16. Will this shorten the exposure time and reduce the amount of light in? Let’s take a look at the night sample first.

    As our judgment is the same as our judgment, the brightness of the night screen of the iPhone 16e is not as good as that of the other two, and the ground texture details are also slightly lacking. Observing the traffic light, we can see that the iPhone 16 still has better tolerance.

    Under the dark video scene, there is no difference in quality between the static picture 16e and 16 and 15 at a glance, but in the motion state, it can be seen that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 with sensor anti-shake are better than the iPhone 16e overall performance.

    Judging from the daytime sample, the style of 16e still implements Apple’s sense of reality. Under the condition of sufficient light, it is not much different from the overall 16, but in terms of dark information retention, the larger iPhone 16 will be better.

    After switching to 2 times the fusion algorithm, there is no obvious difference between the overall detail performance and 16, but under the overall comparison, due to the difference in the amount of light, the iPhone 16e will be less accurate in color control, and the picture will be yellow.

    There are not many points that can be dug deep in this camera. On the whole, it is one and a half generations worse than the iPhone 16. There is no castration of 2 times the sensor cut straight out, which also gives the single-camera model a telephoto composition. At the same time, compared with the Android competitors in this price segment, everyone is pursuing LivePhoto. Anyway, the iPhone 16e is still native LivePhoto, which will be better than Android in terms of animation support on some social media.

    More conscientiously, the front camera of the 16e is not castrated, and it is also a 12-megapixel sensor, which supports the portrait effect of autofocus and depth-of-view control. The straight style is no different from that of 15 and 16. Users of Xiaohongshu who like iPhone selfies can rest assured.

    Purchase recommendation

    Finally, let’s talk about the purchase recommendation. For the price of 128GB and 4,000 yuan, if you don’t plan to fight in the future, then the current experience, iPhone 15 is indeed better, and there are more colors to choose from. However, after all, Alibaba has also confirmed the cooperation of Apple AI recently, and iOS 18.4 is about to support Chinese AI, which is likely to be officially launched in China.

    At that time, iPhone 16e can use Apple AI and continue to be supported by AI functions in the future, so iPhone 15 users can only look at it. I think using AI to distinguish is also Cook’s smartest knife. Secondly, the A18 chip with native 8GB memory, if you plan to use it for 2-3 years, the future system support may be smoother. Of course, the most important point is that if you value battery life, the iPhone 16e is currently the iPhone with the best battery life under the lightest premise.

    Of course, at the end of the 16e press conference, the official also mentioned that there is a more favorable price in the channel chamber of commerce. Presumably, this pricing leaves a lot of room for the channel. If it can be sold below 3500 in the dealer in the future, I think it is very likely to become the next iPhone XR. After all, “the lower the price, the edge The precedent of “the narrower the frame” is still there, and in the future, the iPhone 16e may also “the lower the price, the smoother the game”.
