Don’t just press the shutter: how to get camera-like results with a smartphone
Smartphone photos can improve significantly with a bit of care, including using third-party camera apps and applying basic edits. Smartphone sensors have advanced, but default camera apps often prioritize showing information clearly, which can flatten contrast and tone. Shooting in RAW or DNG can preserve more data for adjustments to color, contrast and brightness. After shooting, tools such as Snapseed or Lightroom Mobile can help refine contrast, color and perspective depending on the subject.

SoftBank to launch gigawatt-scale battery business with South Korean firm in AI-era power bet
SoftBank is moving into battery production in Japan to meet surging power demand driven by the spread of artificial intelligence, aiming to expand into a power and data infrastructure company. It plans to build a battery production base called the GX Factory on the former Sharp Sakai plant site in Sakai, Osaka. SoftBank will develop zinc halide batteries with South Korean firm Cosmos Lab and build energy storage systems with DeltaX.

KAIST boosts low-cost solid-state battery performance 2 to 4 fold
KAIST said on Jan. 7 it developed a design method that improves solid-state battery performance by 2 to 4 times using low-cost raw materials. The team introduced divalent anions such as oxygen and sulfur into zirconium-based halide solid electrolytes to adjust internal structures, widening lithium-ion pathways and lowering barriers. Measured room-temperature ionic conductivity was about 1.78 mS/cm with oxygen and 1.01 mS/cm with sulfur. The study was published in Nature Communications.
