Apple’s Website Finally Has ‘Tech Specs’ Pages for Apple Watch Models
Apple this week added dedicated “Tech Specs” pages to its website for the Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and second-generation Apple Watch SE.
The pages offer a variety of information about the latest Apple Watch models, including details about materials and finishes, size and weight, hardware, connectivity, battery life, health and wellness features, safety features, accessibility features, and more.
The pages complement the previously-existing Apple Watch comparison tool.
There is not much else to say about the pages, other than “finally.”Related Roundups: Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Ultra 2Buyer’s Guide: Apple Watch (Neutral), Apple Watch SE (Caution), Apple Watch Ultra (Neutral)Related Forum: Apple WatchThis article, “Apple’s Website Finally Has ‘Tech Specs’ Pages for Apple Watch Models” first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Steeply Discounts Link Bracelet and Milanese Loop for Employees
Apple is currently offering its corporate and retail employees 40% off select Link Bracelet and Milanese Loop bands for the Apple Watch.
In the U.S., the Link Bracelet is available for $209 on Apple’s online store for employees, down from $349 regularly. The Milanese Loop is available for $59, down from $99. Both bands were introduced alongside the original Apple Watch in 2015.
Apple is also offering employees 50% off various Black Unity and Pride Edition bands, as well as the Sport Band in the Midnight color only.
Apple offers employees special discounts on a rotating selection of products, so it is unclear whether this is another routine sale, or if the company plans to discontinue the Link Bracelet and Milanese Loop in the future and is clearing inventory.
It has been rumored that at least one next-generation Apple Watch model will not be compatible with existing Apple Watch bands. The new Apple Watch lineup is expected to be announced in September alongside the iPhone 16 series.Tag: Apple Watch BandsThis article, “Apple Steeply Discounts Link Bracelet and Milanese Loop for Employees” first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Researchers Develop New Material That Converts CO2 into Methanol Using Sunlight
“Researchers have successfully transformed CO2 into methanol,” reports SciTechDaily, “by shining sunlight on single atoms of copper deposited on a light-activated material, a discovery that paves the way for creating new green fuels.”
Tara LeMercier, a PhD student who carried out the experimental work at the University of Nottingham, School of Chemistry, said: “We measured the current generated by light and used it as a criterion to judge the quality of the catalyst. Even without copper, the new form of carbon nitride is 44 times more active than traditional carbon nitride. However, to our surprise, the addition of only 1 mg of copper per 1 g of carbon nitride quadrupled this efficiency. Most importantly the selectivity changed from methane, another greenhouse gas, to methanol, a valuable green fuel.”
Professor Andrei Khlobystov, School of Chemistry, University of Nottingham, said: “Carbon dioxide valorization holds the key for achieving the net-zero ambition of the UK. It is vitally important to ensure the sustainability of our catalyst materials for this important reaction. A big advantage of the new catalyst is that it consists of sustainable elements — carbon, nitrogen, and copper — all highly abundant on our planet.” This invention represents a significant step towards a deep understanding of photocatalytic materials in CO2 conversion. It opens a pathway for creating highly selective and tuneable catalysts where the desired product could be dialed up by controlling the catalyst at the nanoscale.
“The research has been published in the Sustainable Energy & Fuels journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry.”
