  • New satellite tool maps Israeli forests from space to support forest management
    December 7, 2025, 7:22 AM EST. A new satellite tool uses remote-sensing to map Israeli forests from space, aiding forest management. The effort, noted by a KKL-JNF statement, cautions that remote-sensing tools cannot replace field surveys in the near term. The project aligns with broader space-monitoring initiatives, such as the ESA's Biomass satellite designed to map Earth's forests and measure carbon storage. While providing wide-area insights, officials emphasize ground-truthing and continued on-site work to validate data. The initiative shows how space-based monitoring can inform policy and conservation, providing up-to-date forest extent, health indicators, and carbon metrics to support sustainable forestry.
  • Prediction: 2 Hypergrowth Stocks That Could Outpace Nvidia Through 2030
    December 7, 2025, 7:20 AM EST. While Nvidia has delivered sky-high gains, two AI-fueled growth stocks could outperform it by 2030: Alphabet and AppLovin. Alphabet is doubling down on AI leadership with its Gemini AI models, its own AI chips, and a multi-stream business that includes Online ads and Google Cloud, plus expansion via Waymo. Its competitive AI push could boost revenue and invite pricing pressure on rivals. AppLovin continues to monetize mobile apps with a high-growth, AI-powered adtech platform, delivering durable ad growth and expanding margins. Together, these firms illustrate how diversified tech ecosystems with strong AI foundations may offer bigger long-term returns than a hardware-led winner like Nvidia.
  • Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Hits Lowest Price Ever on Amazon
    December 7, 2025, 7:18 AM EST. Amazon is offering the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 at its lowest price ever, with both the 40 mm and 44 mm variants available. The deal highlights the latest Galaxy wearable in two size options on Amazon.
  • Pixel Watch updates always-on display with media controls and timer in Wear OS 6
    December 7, 2025, 6:52 AM EST. Google's Pixel Watch gets a refined always-on display with Wear OS 6, now keeping media controls and the timer visible without blurring. Previously these quick tools faded away after a short moment, but the update extends the on-screen time and tweaks the display. Spotted by 9to5Google, the change makes it easier to control music or time workouts and cooking without waking the screen. The improvement follows praise for the Pixel Watch, which Mashable previously named among the best Android smartwatches of 2025. In short, owners get a more practical, glanceable experience on the wrist with fewer taps.
  • Acid-free EV battery recycling taps water-driven lithium recovery with high purity
    December 7, 2025, 6:50 AM EST. Researchers have unveiled an acid-free approach to EV battery recycling that replaces corrosive acids with a water-based reaction. Rather than shredding and applying successive acid treatments, the method uses charging-induced lithium migration from cathode to anode, with water substituting for an anode and forming lithium hydroxide. The result is almost 10x greater energy efficiency than traditional acid leaching and lithium extracted at >99% purity. The team pairs this chemistry with a compact electrochemical reactor to separate lithium cleanly and return it as the exact salts manufacturers need, shortening the path back into new batteries. This breakthrough could lower costs, reduce waste, and bolster the battery supply chain as EV adoption grows.
