Apple is reportedly working on a large foldable device, with rumors suggesting an 18-inch foldable iPad could be in development. While speculation has circulated regarding whether this device will be positioned as an iPad or a Mac, consistent reports indicate a significant screen size. The device is anticipated to feature an 18-inch display sourced from Samsung. Apple’s focus is reportedly on minimizing crease visibility on the flexible screen. Initial prototypes are said to weigh approximately 1.6 kg due to the large screen size and aluminum casing, potentially making it significantly heavier than the current 13-inch iPad Pro. Sources suggest the foldable iPad could launch as early as 2029. The price point is projected to be considerably higher than the current 13-inch iPad Pro, which ret...

Sizable Energy, a startup founded by Manuele Aufiero, is developing a novel approach to pumped-storage hydropower, moving the technology from land-based reservoirs to the ocean. Traditional pumped hydro, a well-established method of storing electricity, utilizes reservoirs that drain and refill using pumps. Globally, these facilities currently store 8,500 gigawatt-hours of electricity, but suitable locations are limited. Sizable’s design employs two sealed, flexible reservoirs – one floating at the ocean surface and the other resting on the seabed – connected by a plastic tube and turbines. When electricity is inexpensive, the turbines pump highly saline water from the lower reservoir to the upper. When grid demand rises, a valve is opened, allowing the denser, salt-rich water to flow dow...
