First 3D-printed human corneas could aid transplants in the future
In a first, British scientists have 3D printed human corneas that could cut down shortage of eye donors available for transplant. In the research, researchers from Britain's Newcastle University, mixed stem cells (human corneal stromal cells) from a healthy donor cornea with alginate and collagen to create a solution that could be printed or a "bio-ink". Using a simple low-cost 3D bio-printer, the bio-ink was successfully extruded in concentric circles to form the shape of a human cornea. It took less than 10 minutes to print. "Our unique gel -- a combination of alginate and collagen -- keeps the stem cells alive whilst producing a material which is stiff enough to hold its shape but soft enough to be squeezed out the nozzle of a 3D printer," said lead author Che Connon, a professor at the varisty. The results published in the journal, Experimental Eye Research, also stated that the stem cells could culture -- or grow. "...we have a ready to use bio-ink co...

Samsung Galaxy S10 to use in-display fingerprint sensor courtesy of Qualcomm
Rumours suggesting the Samsung Galaxy S10 will feature an in-display fingerprint sensor are nothing new anymore. We've been hearing for a couple of years that Samsung will eventually introduce the technology but so far have yet to see anything. Now, according to a report from Korean news outlet ET News (via SamMobile ), the Galaxy S10 will finally get an in-display ultrasonic sensor, courtesy of Qualcomm. Samsung Galaxy S10 specs, release date, news and rumours: What we know so far Apple and Samsung developing ultrasonic in-display sensors; won't appear until 2019 That last bit is a little unexpected, since a few weeks ago, another report out of Korea said that Samsung was in fact working on its own ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that it would then integrate with other non-smartphone devices, such as smart home devices and home appliances. It's possible that Samsung either wasn't working on its own sensor at all, or it hit a few obstacles and would rather turn...
Atari VCS: Price, specs, release date and more on the all-new Ataribox console
Atari is introducing a brand new console to the market - its first for many years. Formerly called Ataribox during an initial funding stage, it is now called the Atari VCS - a throwback to the original name of the Atari 2600 in the 70s. It is confirmed to come with a Classic controller, that looks and feels like the original rubber joystick, plus a more modern gamepad. And there are many more features beside. Atari VCS initial review: Imagine the SNES Classic Mini and Nvidia Shield TV combined Here then is what we know about the box so far. Atari VCS design and specifications The Atari VCS has a design inspired by iconic Atari products, a bit like the Atari 2600/VCS from the 70s and early 80s that it now shares a name with. It is slimmer and more set-top-box in stature, however. It is claimed that the console will bring a "full PC experience" to your TV - hence the adoption of the "Video Computer System" part of its name. It'll offer apps and access ...
WhatsApp to roll out Predicted Upload feature: Report
In an attempt to make sharing images more efficient on WhatsApp, the micro-blogging platform is reportedly rolling out "Predicted Upload" feature for its over 2 billion users. According to WABetaInfo, a fan site that tests new WhatsApp features early, the messaging app was secretly developing, for a long time, a new feature for sharing images easily. "iOS users need to update WhatsApp version to the 2.18.61 iOS update, in order to benefit from all the advantages of the Predicted Upload feature," said WABetaInfo in a blog post on Wednesday. WhatsApp is now able to predict when a photograph is going to be sent in a chat. In fact, the purpose of this feature is to upload in advance a photo to the server, said the report. "About Android, WhatsApp is slowly enabling the feature for a few users only since the 2.18.156 stable version and it will need a lot of time.. but the feature doesn't seem to work yet, although it is correctly enabled for some luckly users,...
LG to supply Pixel 3 XL OLED display, hopefully without colour issues
The Google Pixel 3 XL will have its OLED display supplied by LG, according to usually reliable Twitter tipster Ice Universe. The industry insider has posted his comment on Chinese social site Weibo, and it comes after he posted an image of some front panels of both the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, which showed the larger device to have a notch. Google Pixel 3 specs, release date, news and rumours Ice Universe hasn't said where his information has come from, nor has he given any other details about the phone, but considering LG supplied the panel for the Pixel 2 XL, it wouldn't come as much of a surprise. However, the LG panel used on the Pixel 2 XL wasn't exactly the best ever, as it had a few issues, mainly colours that just looked wrong. Google issued a patch fix that helped to boost colours by 10 per cent, which we felt sort of worked, but ultimately the display ruined what could have been a truly excellent smartphone for us. To that end, hearing that LG will once ag...
Typing the1975com in your Android phones Google app will surprise you
Call it weird but typing "the1975..com" in the Google app on certain Android smartphones will show your personal text messages in Search. The bug was discovered by a user on Reddit who was trying to search for the band 'The 1975' and accidentally typed 'the1975..com' in the search bar on the default Google Pixel launcher. As a result of the Google Search, the user's SMS messages were displayed on the screen as if they were Search results. "For some unexplained reason when I type in 'the1975..com' (specifically with two periods) into my search bar on the default pixel launcher it displays my recent text messages through Google," the Google Pixel owner wrote. According to media reports, the bug in the Google app on Android devices - especially OnePlus, Samsung, LG, and Huawei -- has left several users baffled. We tried the same on a OnePlus 5T and the bug exists indeed. The messages also will only appear in the app if the user has given pe...
OnePlus 6 Face Unlock seemingly duped by a printed photo
It hasn't even been a month since the launch of the new OnePlus flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 6, and the people of the internet have already started fiddling with the phone. At least two online sources have torn the OnePlus 6 down to examine its inner workings in the last couple of weeks. Now, @rikvduijn, a Twitter-user from Netherlands has posted a video of himself claiming to have fooled the OnePlus 6's Face Unlock system with a printed photo instead of the owner's real face. In the video, rik's companion is seen holding the OnePlus 6 against a printed photo of rik's face. Several seconds later, the phone is turned around to the camera to show that it was unlocked even without rik looking at it. What we don't know for sure is how bona fide the test actually was, as the screen of the phone was never actually shown during the unlocking process. rik later added as a comment to his tweet that even a black-and-white photo is capable of fooling the OnePlus's...
