Material science plays an absolutely critical role in space exploration. So when a new type of self-healing composite is announced, its worth a lookespecially when the press release specifically calls out its ability to repair microtears associated with micrometeoroid impacts on satellites. It sounds like just such a composite material was recently invented at North Carolina State University - and its even already been spun out into a start-up company.

Final Fantasy 7 is a fan-favorite entry in the franchise, and it has one of the most heartbreaking moments in the entire series: Aerith's death. With the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you get to witness this moment again with better graphics, and a lot more confusion. In the case of the Remake trilogy, Aerith seems to still be alive in a second timeline, or Cloud is so unable to deal with the guilt that he still sees her.

Crafting is a massive part of any survival game, and it is very prevalent in Hytale. Similar to Minecraft, just about any material can be used to craft something else, whether it is a simple glass bottle or a complex workbench.

Oh my god, okay. It's happening (maybe)! Fortnite is no stranger to a collaboration - anything that remotely touches social consciousness seems to get a showcase in the battle royale game, including but not limited to: any and all Star Wars, just general Marvel stuff, Neymar, and, erm, Sabrina Carpenter.

In case it wasn't already abundantly clear, Nvidia is doing pretty well right now, thanks mainly to demand for its AI processors. However, the true scale of its might has been made even more transparent by the revelation that it has now overtaken Apple to become the biggest customer of Taiwanese chip-making giant, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Where in 2024, Nvidia provided just 11% of TSMC's revenue, coming in a distant second place to Apple's colossal 25% contribution, Nvidia has now apparently overtaken Apple. Not only is this a strong indication of just how much AI is impacting the world, but it reportedly has implications for the prices Apple is set to pay for production of its chips, potentially making future iPhone 18 products more expensive. Implications for prices of the best graphics cards aren't exactly good either.Read the full story on PCGamesN: Nvidia beats Apple to become chipmaker TSMC's biggest customer, and I'm not sure that's a good thing

One of the big focuses of Razer's slew of gaming gear announcements from the recent CES tech trade show was its use of AI. From an AI gaming headset to AI game assistants and AI game development tools, it covered a wide variety of approaches to using the new technology. Now, in a recent interview, the company's CEO claims that gamers should be celebrating the potential role of AI in game development. As a maker of some of the best gaming mice, keyboards, laptops, and more, Razer is certainly well placed to make a judgment call on how AI is shaping the future of gaming. However, it's a bold strategy to so strongly come out in favor of its use in making games.Read the full story on PCGamesN: Razer CEO says "we all want" AI in game development, but not in the way you'd expect

It's no secret that Steam dwarfs the Epic Games Store when it comes to the amount of purchases and the number of active users. Epic's never been shy of that fact. The company's CEO, Tim Sweeney, has been equally unshy about criticizing some of Valve's practices. Now, in the process of acknowledging how making a game free on EGS for a week increases sales on other platforms, including Steam, Sweeney appears to have taken a rather fierce jab at Valve boss Gabe Newell.Read the full story on PCGamesN: Epic CEO says it "heavily reinvests" in EGS users, takes a potshot at Steam chief Gabe Newell's "yachts and diamond teeth"
