Ultraviolet laser pulses engineer diamond defects selectively, leaving quantum qubits intact

When we think about a diamond, we often think about a material whose value comes from its perfection. In my research, however, I am interested in something almost opposite: the tiny imperfections inside diamonds. These atomic-scale defects can give diamonds new optical and electronic properties, and some of them can serve as quantum systems. The challenge is learning how to control these defects without disturbing the others.

AirPods 5 vs. AirPods 5 With Wireless Charging Case Buyer

Apple offers two versions of the AirPods 5 : a $129 model with a USB-C Charging Case and a $149 model with a Wireless Charging Case. The extra $20 also buys longer battery life, swipe volume controls, and additional Find My features, so there are differences between the earbuds themselves as well as their cases. Both models include Active Noise Cancellation as standard , the H2 chip, the same open-ear design, and the same redesigned acoustic architecture with updated Adaptive EQ. They also share Transparency mode, Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Personalized Spatial Audio, Voice Isolation, studio-quality audio recording, and IP57 dust, sweat, and water resistance. Both support Live Translation when paired with a compatible iPhone with Apple Intelligence enabled, in supported languages and regions. The earbuds have identical dimensions and weight. The cases are also the same size, although the Wireless Charging Case is slightly heavier. There are still some notable differences to justify the price difference. Our guide helps to answer the question of how to decide which of these sets of AirPods is best for you. AirPods 5 AirPods 5 With Wireless Charging Case Force sensor Force sensor with swipe volume controls Up to four hours of listening time on a single charge with Active Noise Cancellation enabled (up to six hours with noise control off) Up to five hours of listening time on a single charge with Active Noise Cancellation enabled (up to seven hours with noise control off) Up to 20 hours of listening time with the charging case with Active Noise Cancellation enabled Up to 22 hours of listening time with the charging case with Active Noise Cancellation enabled Charging Case (USB-C) Wireless Charging Case (USB-C) with support for the Apple Watch charger and Qi-certified chargers Case speaker for Find My and charging and battery status sounds Find My with last-connected location and sound playback on the earbuds Find My network tracking, sound playback on the earbuds, separate locations for each earbud and the case, and individual Lost Mode support Charging case weighs 32.3 grams (1.14 ounces) Charging case weighs 34.7 grams (1.22 ounces) $129 $149 For most people, the AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case are clearly the better buy. The extra $20 is a very small premium for conveniences you are likely to appreciate if you use your AirPods regularly. Longer listening time is useful for travel and extended sessions, while swipe volume controls let you make adjustments without reaching for your iPhone or asking Siri. The higher-end model is worth considering even if you plan to charge exclusively over USB-C. Wireless charging becomes more useful if you already have a Qi charger or Apple Watch charger. Its additional Find My features are valuable if you tend to misplace your AirPods, allowing you to locate the earbuds and case separately and use the Find My network when they are beyond your device's range. The case speaker also helps when it slips between cushions or gets buried in a bag. The standard AirPods 5 make more sense if you are on a very strict budget, want a secondary pair, or mostly listen for short periods. You still get the same audio technology and noise cancellation, so saving $20 does not mean compromising on those core features. You simply need to be comfortable with USB-C charging, shorter battery life, fewer controls, and more limited Find My functionality. The charging cases are not interchangeable between the two models. If you buy the standard AirPods 5, you cannot add wireless charging later by purchasing the other model's case, making it worth deciding which features you want before buying. Before buying, compare prices using our Deals roundup , since discounts can change the price gap between the two models. If you're considering an upgrade from AirPods 4 or want to see what changed between generations, our AirPods 4 vs. AirPods 5 Buyer's Guide compares the improvements and explains whether upgrading is worthwhile.

Apple Announcing HomePod Mini 2 Next Week With These New Features

Apple reportedly plans to unveil a new HomePod mini as part of the Welcome home experience it announced for Tuesday, October 13. We expect the new HomePod mini to be announced in a press release shared on the Apple Newsroom website at around 9 a.m. Eastern Time on that day, and hands-on photos and videos should surface shortly afterwards. The second-generation HomePod mini is rumored to feature a newer chip that enables Siri AI support (at least with a nearby iPhone), along with improved sound quality, Apple's N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, and new color options, including pink and green . No major design changes are expected. Coincidentally, the original HomePod mini also debuted on October 13 back in 2020, so there has been a six-year wait for a new model. The current HomePod mini is powered by the S5 chip that debuted in the Apple Watch Series 5 in 2019. In June, the HomePod mini received a price increase . In the U.S., it now costs $129, up from $99.

A New Apple TV 4K is Finally Coming on Tuesday

After a nearly four-year wait, a new Apple TV is finally expected to be announced as part of Apple's Welcome home launch on Tuesday, October 13. We expect the new Apple TV to be announced in a press release shared on the Apple Newsroom website on Tuesday, and then selected reporters and content creators invited to Apple's Welcome home experience in New York that day will likely share hands-on photos and videos of the device. The experience begins at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K is rumored to be equipped with an A19 or A19 Pro chip . This chip upgrade would result in the Apple TV having 8GB to 12GB of RAM, and this will reportedly enable Siri AI support on the device. The current Apple TV, announced in October 2022, has an A15 Bionic chip and 4GB of RAM. The new model is also expected to be equipped with Apple's N1 chip with support for Wi-Fi 7, which would enable faster speeds and lower latency compared to the current Apple TV's Wi-Fi 6, when the device is used with a Wi-Fi 7 router. The N1 chip also supports Bluetooth 6.0, whereas the current Apple TV supports Bluetooth 5.0. A leaked image of the new Apple TV did not reveal any external design changes compared to the current model. However, the accompanying Siri Remote is expected to be revised in some way, as a new version was referenced in Apple's software code. In June, the Apple TV 4K received a price increase amid surging memory chip costs. In the U.S., for example, the device now starts at $199, up from $129.

How to adjust the vibration on your Apple Watch

Macworld The Apple Watch can vibrate to let you now about a notification. But you might find that the vibration isnt strong enough for you to notice. Or, you might want to disable vibrations completely. Apple offers three vibration settings: Off , Standard , and Distinct . If youve bought an Apple Watch and never changed this setting, Standard is the default. There are two ways to adjust it: directly on your Apple Watch or in the Watch app on your paired iPhone. To adjust the vibration on the Apple Watch, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Haptics . To adjust the Apple Watch vibration in the Watch app on your iPhone, open the Watch app and got to My Watch > Sounds & Haptics > Haptics . Select the option you want from the list there. Off turns off vibration for notifications completely. Standard makes the Apple Watch vibrate twice. Distinctive makes it vibrate once for a long time and then twice briefly. This setting only adjusts the vibration for notifications. There are also two other, less noticeable types of vibration: that of the Digital Crown and system haptics. Both are simply used to provide feedback when operating the Apple Watch. While the Digital Crowns vibration is largely self-explanatory, system haptics generally serve to confirm various interactions with the Apple Watch. For example, when you use the double-tap and wrist gestures, the Apple Watch vibrates to confirm. You cannot customize these two types of vibration; you can only switch them on or off. They can be found under Settings > Sounds & Haptics or My Watch > Sounds & Haptics in the System Sounds & Haptics section at the bottom of the list. To disable the Digital Crown vibration, toggle the switch under Haptics (Crown) ; to disable system haptics, toggle the switch under System Haptics .

SpaceX Inches Closer to Becoming a U.S. Carrier

SpaceX this week announced two developments that further its goal of becoming a major U.S. carrier to compete with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. It is acquiring a low-band spectrum license portfolio in the 800MHz band, which it says addresses one of the emaining technical gaps that will let it to compete with other carriers. Most smartphones already support the 800MHz band SpaceX is buying. The FCC approved the Starlink Mobile Gen2 constellation application, letting SpaceX launch 15,000 satellites optimized for 2GHz spectrum globally. The company says the Starlink Mobile satellites will deliver more than 100 times the bandwidth of the current generation. The FCC also issued SpaceX a waiver permitting the company to offer wireless service through its satellites without a spectrum leasing agreement with a terrestrial carrier. After receiving final FCC approval for the new spectrum purchase, SpaceX will combine its satellites with an advanced terrestrial deployment to connect devices everywhere. SpaceX says the 2GHz mid-band spectrum will offer high-bandwidth capacity in the U.S., while the new low-band spectrum will allow Starlink's signal to penetrate through obstacles like walls. SpaceX plans to be the first network operator to deploy satellite and terrestrial spectrum. It says it will offer a single network with a reliable service indoors, outdoors, in cellular dead zones, and everywhere in between. SpaceX already powers T-Mobile's satellite feature, but T-Mobile recently removed SpaceX branding from its website after finalizing a joint satellite venture with AT&T and Verizon. SpaceX's Starlink Mobile announcement caused shares of AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile to drop, with Verizon seeing its worst one-day fall since 2002.
