Romain Brauner/Shutterstock Nuclear reactors produce electricity through a process called nuclear fission, using uranium as fuel to release an immense amount of energy in the form of heat. Ceramic pellets containing low-enriched uranium are stacked in a metal cladding and assembled into what we call fuel rods. These rods are inserted into a reactor to produce electricity, then removed and replaced when they are exhausted. But this waste is not “empty” in the traditional sense of the term.

Like most other garages, yours has probably gone from an empty place to park your car to a catch-all space for your household projects and tools. There’s really nothing wrong with this development, but compared to the rest of your home, your garage may seem dated. Maybe the only light source you have is an old, dim bulb in the center of the ceiling. Or maybe your storage bins are so chaotic that finding a simple screw takes…
Vladimir Sukhachev/Shutterstock The smartwatch screen protector market is worth tens of billions of dollars, suggesting that many people consider a protector an essential purchase. Screen protectors usually come in the form of thin adhesive films (plastic or TPU) or as layers of rigid tempered glass that stick directly to the screen to protect it from scratches and impacts.

José Adorno/BGR Apple introduced 3D Touch technology on the iPhone 6S in 2015 and removed it on the iPhone 11 models in 2019. The company later removed support for the feature, even for iPhones that supported it, with the release of iOS 13 and iOS 14. In 2026, there is no indication that Apple will even bring back 3D Touch or even implement it on a new iPhone model. 3D Touch was one of those interesting technologies that never caught up. Even though Apple heavily promoted this interaction layer, which…
Imaginima/Getty Images A 4K TV can deliver a stunning viewing experience, ideal for everyone from gamers to movie buffs. However, a TV isn’t the only option for creating your own home theater. In some cases, it may be better to upgrade to a 4K projector. It’s worth addressing some immediate objections you might have to this idea.
