Nail fungus is one of those problems that seems small until it is not. It is slow to treat, easy to ignore, and stubborn enough that people can spend months applying medication or visiting clinicians without knowing whether they are making progress. South Korean startup Medicell Healthcare wants to make that routine more visible and more repeatable with a clinic-based laser system called the Mycosis Laser . When I met Brian Kangsoo Lim (Medicells CEO) in Korea, the most interesting part of his p

QUAZAR is betting that a luxury handbags stitching, hardware, logo placement, and even tiny surface details can become more useful than a serial-number tag. After all, thats how experts catch fake products. The Korean startup wants shoppers, resellers, and retailers to use guided smartphone photos to identify counterfeits and eventually connect the result to a Digital Product Passport, or DPP, containing product information for regulators and supply-chain partners. That is an ambitious pitch, bu

The most expensive place to discover an aircraft problem is in the air . That is the value-proposition of FLYTO, a South Korean aviation-simulation startup building tools for drones, eVTOL aircraft, and other emerging designs. The company wants engineers to uncover more problems in simulation before committing a physical aircraft to a costly flight-test program. We recently talked on a video-call while I was in Seoul to discuss their companys technology, product and objectives. Hubert Nguyen, co

Security researchers have uncovered a critical vulnerability in several Unisoc system-on-chip (SoC) platforms that could allow attackers to gain unauthorized root access to targeted budget Android smartphones. The exploit is delivered via malicious code transmitted during video call setup messages , enabling arbitrary code execution directly through the devices modem firmware . Unisoc ranks as the worlds fourth-largest mobile chip designer, behind MediaTek, Qualcomm, and Apple. Its processors fr

The preview highlights the titles first-person exploration , puzzle-solving mechanics , and psychological tension, continuing the publishers ongoing revival of the classic survival horror franchise. The narrative follows protagonist Simon Ordell as he arrives on the isolated, mist-shrouded

Warehouse automation has become easy to picture: robots move shelves, conveyors route boxes, and software coordinates orders. The less obvious problem is what happens when all that freight reaches a truck. Even in a sophisticated facility, workers may still need to climb into a trailer, stack boxes, push pallets, and wait for the vehicle to be ready. SpeedFloor wants to automate that handoff. The South Korean company installs a powered conveyor system inside a truck or trailer, turning its floor

The most compelling thing about OZOMETA is the idea that a construction project can have a shared 3D working language. I met CEO Chang-Gyu Kim in person, to discuss his companys digital-twin vision. What happens after a building plan stops being a clean architectural document and becomes a real project? That is when owners, contractors, engineers, supervisors, suppliers, and public officials all need to make decisions from different versions of the same information. To most people, a 2D plan is

Meta has entered a high-stakes federal trial in Oakland, California, facing allegations that its platforms intentionally foster social media addiction and negatively impact teen mental health . Presided over by federal Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers , the proceedings consolidate claims from dozens of states following extensive investigations into the companys youth safety practices. The legal action focuses on two primary areas: state-level consumer protection violations and federal breaches of th

Reportedly captured in a retail store setting, the images provide a detailed look at the devices redesigned aesthetic and key physical attributes. Visually, the Y700 Infinite introduces notable departures from the standard model. The tablet is showcased in a dark blue finish feat

WhatsApp has introduced pinned message notifications to its stable iOS application , enabling users to stay informed when an item is pinned within an active discussion. This functionality, identified in the WhatsApp for iOS 26.31.74 update on the App Store , expands upon an earlier implementation released for Android devices . Previously, participants had to manually access a conversation to check whether an announcement , reminder , or file had been pinned to the top of the interface. With the

Mercedes-Benz has announced a strategic shift in its interior design philosophy, confirming plans to reintroduce physical buttons and tactile controls across its future automotive lineup. The decision, officially verified by CEO Ola Kllenius , comes as a direct response to widespread driver dissatisfaction regarding overly complex touchscreen interfaces and unintuitive digital menu systems. Mercedez-Benz to bring back the good old physical buttons because drivers think touchscreens are overly co

Anthropic is currently experiencing a noticeable wave of subscription cancellations following the global rollout of an invisible watermarking system embedded in text produced and processed by its Claude artificial intelligence models. The initiative, implemented earlier this month, has provoked substantial backlash , particularly among professional users who rely on the platform primarily for auxiliary tasks such as proofreading , drafting revisions , document summarization , reference verificat

For passengers, a flight delay often looks simple: the departure time changes, the gate gets more crowded, and a connection more uncertain. But the cause is ordinary and much harder to fix. A cabin-cleaning team may be short-staffed. A wheelchair attendant may be unavailable. A late-arriving aircraft may need more people on the ground than the original shift plan anticipated. I met BestTurn s founder and CEO Wonjin Choi in person at the Incheon Startup Park (S. Korea) to discuss how his startup
