PlayStation 5 is seeing fewer and fewer games released that are only available on that console, especially as we get closer to the release of the PlayStation 6.

Researchers have used programmable Rydberg atom arrays to model complex quantum systems, revealing how broken symmetries and critical points shape their behavior.

The recent rumors about a LEGO Animal Crossing set coming in 2026 aren’t very exciting. Currently, only one small setโa 33-piece polybagโis reportedly planned, and details about what it will build or which characters it will include are unknown.
