Samsung teases mobile AI photography tools ahead of Unpacked

Anyone who's been paying even a little bit of attention to tech news lately could have made a reasonable guess that AI will be a big topic at Samsung's Unpacked next week. Ahead of the event, Samsung teased some of what's to come for AI in terms of the Galaxy S26 smartphone lineup's photography tools. The S26 phones will feature a new camera system using Galaxy AI that combines capturing, editing and sharing of photos and videos. "Users will be able to turn a photo from day to night in seconds, restore missing parts of objects in images, capture detailed photos in low light, and seamlessly merge multiple photos into a single, cohesive result," a company rep said. The video clips Samsung shared demonstrated the before and after results of using its AI tools, which will all be housed in a single app rather than needing to switch between multiple image editing programs. Updated cameras are just part of what will be on the schedule for Samsung's big mobile showcase. The expected Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra will likely have a lot of AI-centric features.

Shein’s ‘addictive design’ and illegal sex dolls under investigation

The European Union has opened a formal investigation into Shein after French regulators found listings for "child-like sex dolls" on the retail platform last year.

The commission will also examine the transparency of Shein's content recommendation systems and concerns regarding the retailer's "addictive design," including gamified programs that give points and other rewards to shopp … Read the full story at The Verge.

We never stopped foreign aid, but now we are doing more with less

Congress, in a rare bipartisan effort, has reaffirmed America’s commitment as a generous donor abroad. The recently passed National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026 allocates roughly $50 billion in base funding. That’s less than prior levels but far exceeds the deepest cuts proposed by the White House. The result underscores that...

Giving people cash didn’t cause more injuries or deaths

As cash transfer programs expand across the United States, critics often warn that giving people money could spark reckless behavior, leading to injuries or even deaths. But a sweeping 11-year analysis of Alaska’s long-running Permanent Fund Dividend program tells a different story.

Scientists discover hidden brain cells that help heal spinal cord injuries

Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have uncovered a surprising repair system in the spinal cord that could open new doors for treating paralysis, stroke, and diseases like multiple sclerosis. They found that special support cells called astrocytes—located far from the actual injury—spring into action after damage. These “lesion-remote astrocytes” send out a protein signal, CCN1, that reprograms immune cells to efficiently clean up fatty nerve debris.
