NVIDIA revealed at Gamescom 2025 that RTX Hair technology will launch this September within Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The graphics company originally planned this feature for February alongside DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation support. While DLSS 4 MFG arrived as scheduled, RTX Hair required additional development time from NVIDIA and MachineGames. The technology utilizes linear swept spheres, a hardware innovation exclusive to GeForce RTX 50 Series cards. This rendering method replaces traditional triangular geometry with spherical shapes for individual hair strands.
The new approach delivers superior lighting effects and shadow quality while consuming minimal memory resources. MachineGames will restrict linear swept spheres to...
Apple continues testing development models of its redesigned Mac mini featuring next-generation M5 and M5 Pro processors. Sources familiar with Apple's plans report that engineers work on updated versions carrying internal identifiers J873g and J873s. These codes follow the pattern established by current M4 models, which use J773g and J773s designations, respectively. The new machines will likely maintain the compact form factor Apple introduced with its latest generation.
Beyond upgraded silicon, the refreshed Mac mini appears unlikely to receive significant design changes or new features. Current pricing positions the desktop computer as an exceptional value proposition in the market. The base M4 configuration sells for $499 with...

Apple considers postponing the standard iPhone 18 model from its traditional 2026 launch window. The company may delay this device until early 2027, when it could arrive alongside the budget iPhone 18e variant.

Apple reportedly wants to concentrate resources on the challenging foldable iPhone development while maintaining market presence throughout both seasons. The Pro models will feature under-display Face ID technology and variable aperture cameras powered by the A20 processor built on 2nm architecture.
The foldable device adopts a...
Researchers at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou have created China's first commercial electron beam lithography machine. The device, named Xizhi, represents a significant advancement for the country's semiconductor manufacturing sector. Chinese scientists achieved this breakthrough despite facing restrictions on accessing advanced Western lithography equipment from companies like ASML. The machine demonstrates precision capabilities reaching 0.6 nanometers, which approaches the specifications of high-end European tools. However, the technology suffers from severe throughput limitations that prevent commercial viability.
The electron beam approach requires point-by-point wafer processing, which extends production times to several hours...
