Making superconductors thinner can change how they accommodate magnetic fields

What happens when a superconductor becomes so thin that electrons can no longer behave as if they were moving through an ordinary three-dimensional piece of metal? This question has been at the center of my recent work on quantum confinement in metallic films. Over the past few years, I have been developing this line of theory with my colleague Giovanni Ummarino at Politecnico di Torino. Our initial goal was to understand something rather concrete: Why does shrinking the thickness of a superconducting film change the temperature at which superconductivity appears?

Acer Unveils Project DualPlay Mini, a Gaming Handheld That Turns Into a Tiny Laptop

Acer used the closing moments of its IFA 2026 press conference in Berlin to unveil Project DualPlay Mini , an experimental Predator gaming handheld that can transform into a small laptop, complete with an integrated physical keyboard and fold-out speakers. The concept explores an interesting question for the increasingly crowded Windows handheld market: instead of carrying a gaming handheld and a laptop, could one device realistically handle both? Project DualPlay Mini looks much like a conventional PC gaming handheld, with a central display flanked by game controls. Acer says it uses TMR joysticks and Hall-effect triggers , technologies designed to provide precise controls while reducing the mechanical wear that can eventually lead to stick drift. The concept is powered by an Intel processor , although Acer has not disclosed the exact chip. The unusual part becomes apparent when you open the device. A physical keyboard folds out from underneath the display, effectively turning the handheld into a miniature laptop. At the same time, two speaker wings deploy on either side of the screen , giving the system a distinctly unconventional appearance. During the presentation, Acer framed the design around three potential scenarios: gaming on the couch as a handheld, using it as a productivity machine while traveling, and connecting it to a larger monitor at a desk. Acer envisions this concept as a seamless transition between handheld gaming and notebook-style productivity. According to the company, users could play using the integrated controls, then open the device to work on documents, email, communication, or other everyday Windows tasks without carrying a second computer. The keyboard also changes how the DualPlay Mini could be used for PC gaming. Acer suggests pairing the integrated keyboard with a Bluetooth mouse, effectively providing conventional keyboard-and-mouse controls for first-person shooters while retaining the handheld form factor when those controls are not needed. Predator Cooling In a Much Stranger Form Factor Project DualPlay Mini uses Predator AeroBlade cooling , combining ultra-thin metal fan blades with the companys Vortex Flow cooling technology.Acer claims the system can improve airflow by up to 10% compared with a conventional plastic fan , based on its internal testing. The goal is to maintain performance during extended gaming sessions despite the compact chassis. The company did not reveal other important specifications such as display resolution and refresh rate, battery capacity, RAM, storage, processor model, dimensions, or weight. And importantly, this is still a concept rather than an announced retail product . Acer has not provided pricing or a release date, and the company notes that the images may not represent a final production device.

EXCLUSIVE: Vipul Amrutlal Shah opens up on exploring new genre with Akshay Kumar with Samuk; says We have never wanted to make the same film twice

Akshay Kumar has begun shooting for Samuk, an upcoming survival-action thriller directed by Kanishk Varma and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, along with co-producer Aashin A. Shah. The film, which is being mounted on a large scale for a pan-Indian theatrical release, has reportedly been in development for over two years. Samuk is set to combine elements of military realism, survival horror and alien mythology. The makers have also brought international talent on board to create the world and action of the film. Academy Award-nominated creature designer Alec Gillis, known for his work on films including Alien and Predator, is designing the central creature, while British action director Luke Tumber is overseeing the film's action sequences. The project marks another collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Vipul Amrutlal Shah, who have previously worked together across multiple genres. Their collaborations have included films such as Aankhen, Waqt: The Race Against Time, Namastey London, Singh Is Kinng, Action Replayy and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty. Speaking about their decision to reunite for Samuk and the creative approach behind their collaborations, producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah said, The reason Akshay and I keep coming back to each other is that we have never wanted to make the same film twice. Every time we collaborate, the goal is to break our own mold, whether it was taking a risk with a heist thriller like Aankhen, exploring emotional drama with Waqt, capturing iconic romance in Namastey London, bringing massive action-comedy in Singh Is Kinng, experimenting with sci-fi in Action Replayy, or delivering military action in Holiday. We constantly challenge each other to step into unexplored territory. Reuniting for Samuk, which is an alien-survival thriller, proves yet again that we always bring something different to the table. With Samuk, the makers are looking to take their collaboration into a new genre space. The film aims to combine Akshay Kumar's star presence with international creature design and practical action, while maintaining a grounded approach to its survival-driven narrative. As the project progresses, further details about the film's storyline, ensemble cast and release plans are expected to be announced by the makers. Samuk is being positioned as a theatrical spectacle that brings together Indian filmmaking and international expertise in science-fiction and action.

Security, connectivity, opportunity: PM Modis SCO call

New Delhi, Sep 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday called upon members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) to move beyond declarations and translate 25 years of cooperation into tangible outcomes, while urging a united approach to terrorism, stronger regional connectivity and greater opportunities for people. Addressing the 26th SCO Summit in Bishkek, PM Modi said the grouping must transform its shared geography into shared opportunities at a time when the world is passing through uncertainty and instability. It is a matter of great pleasure for me to be here amongst all of you on this special occasion of the 25th anniversary of the SCO, he said, thanking Kyrgyz President SadyrJaparov for the warm welcome and gracious hospitality extended to the Indian delegation. The PM also congratulated Kyrgyzstan on its Independence Day, which India observed with the country the previous day, and extended his warm greetings to the President and people of Uzbekistan on its Independence Day. He said the opening ceremony of the World Nomad Games had offered a glimpse of Kyrgyzstans rich culture and the shared heritage of SCO countries. This shared heritage and our deep people-to-people connections are among the great strengths of the SCO family, PM Modi said. He said that over the past 25 years, the SCO had developed a strong tradition of dialogue and cooperation across the vast expanse of Eurasia and had made valuable contributions not only to the well-being of its people but also to the advancement of humanity. The PM said the organisation had laid a strong foundation for cooperation, but the next 25 years should focus on converting that cooperation into tangible results. At a time when the world is passing through uncertainty and instability, we must transform our shared geography into shared opportunities. And through our efforts, we must bring about positive change in the lives of our people, he said. Recalling Indias vision for the SCO outlined at the previous meeting, PM Modi said its three main pillars were Security, Connectivity and Opportunity. He called for these three pillars to move beyond vision and be translated into concrete outcomes. The PM said peace and security were the first and foremost requirements for achieving those goals, warning that terrorism continued to pose a serious challenge to humanity as a whole. He said countries could not afford to limit the fight against terrorism to an action-reaction approach. We must dismantle the entire ecosystem of terrorist financing, recruitment, radicalisation, and safe havens, PM Modi said. He called upon SCO members to speak with one voice and make it clear that there could be no place for double standards on the serious issue of terrorism. We must send a strong message to countries that use terrorism as an instrument of policy and provide safe haven and support to terrorists that terrorism can never be a strategic asset for anyone, the PM said. He linked the SCOs shared aspiration for a peaceful and secure Eurasia with peace and stability in Afghanistan. PM Modi said India had been contributing to the development of Afghanistan and providing humanitarian assistance to its people and would continue to do so. He said that in todays interconnected world, the scope of security had become even broader, with the crisis in West Asia demonstrating that a conflict in one region did not remain confined to that region. The PM said its impact was felt across the world, affecting energy security, maritime trade and supply chains, with countries of the Global South bearing the greatest brunt of such disruptions. Therefore, India has consistently called for all tensions and conflicts to be resolved not on the battlefield, but through dialogue and diplomacy, he said. PM Modi also warned that drug trafficking was not merely a crime but a serious threat to the younger generation and regional security. He welcomed the establishment of SCO centres to address challenges such as security threats, organised crime, information security and narcotics. The PM called for these centres to be made effective instruments for practical coordination and timely action. He identified strong and reliable connectivity as the second pillar of shared development. PM Modi said India supported all efforts that connected markets, facilitated trade and opened new avenues for development. At the same time, he stressed that such connectivity initiatives must respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. This is also the fundamental spirit of the SCO Charter, the PM said. He said the scope of connectivity would become even broader going forward. PM Modi said that along with roads, railways, and air corridors, countries must simplify customs processes, promote digital documentation and make logistics networks more efficient. The third pillar, Opportunity, means that the benefits of SCO cooperation should reach people directly, he said. The PM described people-to-people connections as the organisations greatest strength and said India viewed the SCO as a confluence of great civilisations, cultures and ideas. Over the next 25 years of the SCO, people-to-people ties should remain at the heart of cooperation, he said. PM Modi said the true measure of the organisations success should be the number of new opportunities its efforts created for young people, the number of new markets opened for entrepreneurs, the extent to which farmers benefited from technology and how much better the lives of citizens became. This is the true meaning of Security, Connectivity, and Opportunity, he said. The PM stressed that cooperation within the SCO should not be merely government-driven but should also be people-driven. He welcomed the special emphasis placed on youth engagement under Kyrgyzstans chairmanship. PM Modi said India had taken initiatives such as the SCO Start-up Forum, Young Authors Conclave and Young Scientists Forum. He also recalled Indias proposal last year for the SCO Civilizational Dialogue Forum. The PM said he was pleased that the first session of the forum would be held in India this year and expressed confidence that, with the active participation of all SCO members, it would become a strong platform for vibrant dialogue within the organisation. He invoked Kyrgyz literary figure ChingizAitmatov, saying the writer had given the world a beautiful and profound thought that people often focused more on the things that divided them and less on the things that united them. PM Modi said the message remained equally relevant for the SCO today. Our diversity is our identity, and our shared purpose is our strength, he said. The PM called upon SCO members to move forward from Bishkek with a resolve to transform their shared geography into shared opportunities, their vision into outcomes, and government-driven cooperation into people-driven partnership. With the same belief and commitment, India is ready to contribute to the SCO familys shared journey, he said.

Quote of the Day by Woody Allen: The talent for being happy is... a powerful life lesson from an inspiring quote on happiness, gratitude, contentment and the danger of endless comparison, by the Oscar-winning filmmaker and 'Annie Hall' director known for his sharp satirical wit, iconic cinematic storytelling, and deep psychological observations

Quote of the day by Woody Allen frames happiness as an active skill centered on appreciating existing circumstances rather than longing for absent ones. This principle applies directly to common daily pressures, including career anxiety, social comparison, and shifting personal priorities. The quote suggests that happiness is not guaranteed by external success, possessions or achievement. It also points to comparison as a quiet source of dissatisfaction. Its deeper lesson is that gratitude and contentment can shape how we experience ordinary life, even while we continue to pursue meaningful goals.

Gurnoor Brar eyes all-format bowling role, learning from Bumrah and Siraj

India pacer Gurnoor Brar says bowling alongside senior quicks Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj in the last three months has helped him find consistency in lengths and he is now aiming to become an all-format pacer capable of taking heavy workload. Brar has made a reasonable beginning to his national career, taking 11 wickets across six ODIs with an economy that hovers around seven. But the 26-year-old thinks that he would be able to better that with the newly-acquired know-how on lengths after his stints with the national team during ODI series against Afghanistan and England. I got selected to the India team because of the way I was performing in the Ranji Trophy and India A. But I was looking for more learnings as to how I can be more consistent on my lengths and which batsman I can bowl according to which wicket. That was my aim, Brar told select media on the sidelines of the ongoing Duleep Trophy where he is playing for North Zone. \From the beginning, I have only one goal.
