The Morning After: LG’s new twisty display tech can stretch up to 50 percent

LG Display’s new free-form screen technology can expand from 12 to 18 inches, with a resolution of 100ppi. The display also uses a micro-LED light source smaller than 40 micrometers, so it can apparently be stretched over 10,000 times. While this probably isn’t your next smartphone, we could see the tech in clothing, car panels and more. LG Display has pushed the boundaries of screen tech for a while, revealing folding screens before foldable phones appeared, roll-up TVS before roll-up TVs went on sale and transparent displays before they appeared in fancy stores, theme parks and elsewhere. So expect to see this Bop-it of displays somewhere, eventually. — Mat Smith The biggest tech stories you missed The coffee-table book of Apple Music’s Best 100 Albums will set you back $450 The best travel gifts Elon Musk will lead a new Department of Government Efficiency, Donald Trump says The best MacBook for 2024: Which Apple laptop should you buy?

China’s Shenzhou-14 mission has successfully docked with the country's Tiangong space station on Sunday. According to CNN, the three-person crew of the spacecraft arrived at the Tianhe “Harmony of the Heavens” crew module at 5:42PM local time after launching from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert earlier in the day. The arrival marks the start of a six-month stay at the station for the mission’s astronauts that will see China attempt to make significant progress toward the completion of Tiangong. The country hopes to finish building the station by the end of the year. Next month, it will launch the first of two lab modules that will expand Tiangong’s capabilities, with the latter to follow in October. The modules will allow Chinese astronauts to conduct microgravity and life science research. After the country completed its first-ever tandem spacewalk last year, the Shenzhou-14 crew will conduct multiple EVAs to prepare the station for expansion. Among the thr...

The Internet of Things and your business are joined by a much-needed change in how things are done. The IoT is already shaping the future and has been for some time. And the model itself is set up in such a way that many other future solutions depend on correct IoT modeling. You probably already use IoT solutions and may not even know it. Here are some examples. Complete Control Solutions The most useful feature of the IoT is the ability to connect multiple devices for integrated use. This has caused something of a shift in personal life and business, where you may need immediate control and real-time updates. For instance, building automation and control systems that were once science fiction are a reality today. And in business, the possibilities are endless, such as apartment and office climate control, real-time data, and appliance maintenance. Working with Artificial Intelligence The IoT also naturally integrates into modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems, many of whic...

Leading artificial intelligence companies including OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Meta and others have jointly pledged to prevent their AI tools from being used to exploit children and generate child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The initiative was led by child-safety group Thorn and All Tech Is Human, a non-profit focused on responsible tech. The pledges from AI companies, Thorn said, “set a groundbreaking precedent for the industry and represent a significant leap in efforts to defend children from sexual abuse as a feature with generative AI unfolds.” The goal of the initiative is to prevent the creation of sexually explicit material involving children and take it off social media platforms and search engines. More than 104 million files of suspected child sexual abuse material were reported in the US in 2023 alone, Thorn says. In the absence of collective action, generative AI is poised to make this problem worse and overwhelm law enforcement agencies that are already struggling to...
