While we first expected Apple to introduce the OLED iPad Pro in early March‚ users were now hoping for an early April release. Now‚ it seems Apple's most premium tablet will only launch by May‚ at least‚ this is what Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports. Gurman was first to say Apple would release this tablet in March or April‚ but now he says this device won't launch until May as Apple ramps up overseas production. The journalist writes that "complex new manufacturing techniques" might add to the delay. A few weeks ago‚ display analyst Ross Young hinted at Apple suffering from a short supply of the 11-inch OLED model. In an X post‚ Ross Young said LG Display would start to deliver its 11-inch OLED panels for Apple this March to complement Samsung’s delivery. LG is also the only supplier of the 12.9-inch display‚ but this one seems to be fine. Interestingly‚ Samsung has been shipping 11-inch OLED panels since February. Besides that‚ Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman has previously said that Apple is still readying a special version of iPadOS 17.4 to launch alongside the new OLED iPad Pro. Now‚ it seems it might come with iPadOS 17.5. Also‚ the two new iPad Air models are also launching with the Pro versions. Why the OLED iPad Pro launch seems like a big deal? After a few underwhelming upgrades with expensive accessories and little changes to the software‚ the iPad is in a similar position to when Apple sold Intel Macs. While the company was able to revamp its Mac category‚ the iPad needs the same care. With this new display‚ Apple will also add a new design‚ revamped accessories‚ and a better chip. In addition‚ it will also soon announce iPadOS 18‚ which might have a lot of AI applications. That said‚ Apple has one more chance to make this iPad Pro worth it. Otherwise‚ I don’t think people will be here for an M4 version.

Rice University engineers have demonstrated a way to control the optical properties of atomic imperfections in silicon material known as T centers‚ paving the way toward leveraging these point defects for building quantum nodes for large-scale quantum networks.

Metalenses‚ nano-artificial structures capable of manipulating light‚ offer a technology that can significantly reduce the size and thickness of traditional optical components. Particularly effective in the near-infrared region‚ this technology holds great promise for various applications such as LiDAR which is called the "eyes of the self-driving car‚" miniature drones‚ and blood vessel detectors.

The radiation detectors used today for applications like inspecting cargo ships for smuggled nuclear materials are expensive and cannot operate in harsh environments‚ among other disadvantages. Now‚ MIT engineers have demonstrated a fundamentally new way to detect radiation that could allow much cheaper detectors and a plethora of new applications.

A research group led by Prof. Li Xiangyang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has theoretically predicted a series of multiferroic materials that can be applied in room-temperature environments by utilizing the d-p spin coupling combined with center-symmetry-breaking organic heterocycles in two-dimensional (2D) Cr-based metal-organic frameworks.

Zinc–nitrate batteries are a primary non-rechargeable energy storage system that utilizes the redox potential difference between zinc and nitrate ions to store and release electrical energy. A research team co-led by chemists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) have developed a high-performance rechargeable zinc–nitrate/ethanol battery by introducing an innovative catalyst.

To shed light on the principles that govern tissue dynamics across species‚ RIKEN biologists have developed a new method for analyzing the development of vertebrate limbs. These principles could help guide the development of artificial organs known as organoids. The study is published in the journal Nature Communications.

Future quantum computers could be based on electrons floating above liquid helium‚ according to study by a RIKEN physicist and collaborators‚ appearing in Physical Review Applied.

Communities of microbes that live in ocean sediments can consume methane. In oxygen-deprived sediments these microbes form clusters‚ called aggregates‚ that can have deposits of silica on their surfaces. It is not clear if these silica deposits result from the activity of methane consuming aggregates‚ or if their formation is unrelated to biological processes.

Scientists have long pondered the beginnings of life on Earth. One theory is that RNA‚ which is ubiquitous across all domains of life‚ played a central role in early life. Similar to DNA‚ RNA possesses the ability to store genetic information. However‚ to initiate life's processes‚ early RNA must have also possessed the capability to self-replicate and catalyze biochemical reactions independently‚ without the assistance of specialized enzymes.
