The Presidential Debate Results: Joe Biden Falls in the Orchestra Pit

iOS 18 is full of new features. Still, it doesn't seem like Apple Music is getting a lot of attention. Recently, BGR found five new Apple Music features coming in iOS 18, many of which you probably had no idea were going to be available this fall. With that in mind, there is one more secret Apple Music feature coming in iOS 18 that no one is talking about: Smart Crossfade. At the moment, Apple has yet to add a new button to activate the feature or an explanation of how it works, but it's there. If you recall, Apple added crossfade between Apple Music songs in iOS 17. Now, the company is expanding this feature to make it even more seamless. For example, when a song is about to finish, Apple might mix it with the upcoming song, so it creates a very interesting transition. While not every song will have a cool transition, some of them start right after the last word is sung. A mix between two different tunes is also possible. Thankfully, Apple Music is careful not to create a transition that doesn't exist when you're listening to The Beatles' Abbey Road side B, for example, so you can have the true experience as if you're listening to the LP. Currently, it looks like the smart crossfade feature works if you turn on crossfade in the Music app's settings. Apple also lets you choose the crossfade length from one to 12 seconds, although I noticed that even when selecting a single second, the transition might start earlier. Besides this hidden Apple Music feature in iOS 18, Apple is also bringing the following additions to its streaming service: Music Haptics: Apple Music has a breakthrough feature coming in iOS 18. With Music Haptics, Apple brings a new way for users who are deaf or hard of hearing to experience music on iPhone. The company explains: “With this feature enabled, the Taptic Engine in iPhone plays taps, textures, and refined vibrations to the audio of the music.” InSight on Apple TV+: This feature displays timely information about actors, characters, and music from Apple TV+ movies and shows onscreen in real-time. Users can select an actor to view their background and filmography page or quickly view the song playing in a scene and add it to an Apple Music playlist.

The field of synthetic biology, the science of manipulating biology, has a lot of "cooks in the kitchen," which has both helped it flourish and made it unusually difficult to create a cohesive, consistent curriculum for students at every level of study. Each discipline involved—from chemical engineering to ethics—has a unique approach to teaching and literature, which creates inconsistencies between what scientists learn.

In good news for our egos, both men and women were pretty accurate at rating their own physical attractiveness, according to a new study. Couples also tended to be well-matched on their attractiveness, suggesting that we largely date and marry people in our own "league," at least as far as beauty is concerned.

Despite gaining a bad rap in mainstream media in recent years, nanoparticles have been successfully used for decades in targeted drug delivery systems. Drug molecules can be encapsulated within biodegradable nanoparticles to be delivered to specific cells or diseased tissues. However, blood flow dynamics can significantly affect the nanoparticle's ability to bind at the target site and stay adhered long enough for the drug to be released.

An international team of researchers, co-led by ETH Zurich and Imperial College London, has derived the first estimate of global meteorite impacts on Mars using seismic data. Their findings indicate that between 280 to 360 meteorites strike the planet each year, forming impact craters greater than 8 meters (about 26 feet) across.

For researchers, using high-performance computers can be a little intimidating. Understanding the best interface to use, how to make software scale, and working with huge datasets requires its own expertise.

Researchers at the Department of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry (IPC), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), have developed an enzymatic platform that can efficiently transform naturally abundant and inexpensive fatty acids to valuable hydrocarbons called 1-alkenes, which are promising biofuels.

A study led by a UC Riverside atmospheric scientist predicts that unchecked carbon emissions will force tropical rains to shift northward in the coming decades, which would profoundly impact agriculture and economies near the Earth's equator.

Leiden Ph.D. candidate Jo-Anne Verschoor discovered that nearly 20% of the bacterial strains she studied could degrade plastic, though they needed some encouragement to do so. "Bacteria are just like people," says Verschoor. Her research was published in the journal Communications Biology.
