With pre-orders for Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus having opened just a few days ago, we knew it was only a matter of time before a release date was confirmed. And wouldn’t you know it, a release date has been confirmed.

A press release from Samsung reveals that the 7-inch Honeycomb-powered tablet will arrive on November 13, with an attached price of $399.99. Best Buy, Amazon, Tiger Direct and Fry’s are named among the retailers that will be offering the device. Note however that only the 16 GB model will be available; the larger 32 GB storage capacity version won’t be in stores until a later date, either this year or early next year.

The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is a beastly little device, especially at the price it’s been set for. The Honeycomb OS is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual core processor. It includes a 3 MP camera and is capable of capturing high-definition video at 720p. It also features a built-in infrared transmitter, allowing it to be used as a sort of superpowered universal remote control.

Elon Musk has revealed ambitious plans for Neuralink, and they go beyond controlling computers with your thoughts. The company is developing two brain implants, Telepathy and Blindsight, aimed at helping people with paralysis and severe vision loss. Musk also believes future advances could help people regain control of their hands and legs by reconnecting the brain with their limbs.

Sony has shrunk its glasses-free 3D technology into a tiny screen, and it can bring anime characters to life on your desk

It's almost like having a digital, three-dimensional companion on your desk.

Sony's smaller 3D display for desk

Glasses-free 3D has always felt like a luxury I could admire from afar. Those screens were built for design studios, not smaller desks like mine. But Sony’s new version is small enough to sit beside my keyboard, and I’m genuinely excited.

The company has unveiled the ELF-MN1, a 6-inch display that makes 3D characters and avatars look like they’re coming out of the screen without any special glasses or a headset. It plugs into a phone or PC with one USB-C cable, and that’s pretty much it (via Sony).

3D-printed ghost guns are a notorious blind spot. Scientists may have finally cracked the traceability problem

The plastic used to make these weapons could hold clues that conventional forensic methods often miss.

3D printed Gun replica

Most conventional firearms come with serial numbers and leave unique microscopic markings on bullets and cartridge cases when fired. Investigators can use these clues to trace weapons or connect them to crimes. However, 3D-printed firearms, commonly called ghost guns, present a different challenge. They can be manufactured without serial numbers, and their unconventional construction can make traditional forensic analysis more difficult.

Now, researchers in Australia may have found another way to trace these weapons, using clues hidden in the plastic they're made from.
