After revealing a magnetic, modular smartphone concept recently, Tecno has unveiled two additional phone designs focused on color-shifting finishes: one featuring E Ink, and the other with neon.

I find myself particularly drawn to the Pova Neon, which the brand claims includes real neon lighting, not merely vivid colors: it utilizes “ionized inert gas lighting technology” to achieve a luminous effect.

On the other hand, the AI EInk integrates color electronic ink into the back of the device, allowing for dynamic color changes. Perhaps even more impressively, you can set the color via the camera, enabling the phone to match your attire with a single photo.

As with any innovative concepts, there’s no assurance that Tecno will ever produce a legitimate phone utilizing either design, and the neon seems particularly unlikely to reach the marketplace — however, I can envision a color-changing E Ink phone launching sooner rather than later.

Dominic Preston is a news editor with over ten years of journalism experience. He has previously been associated with Android Police and Tech Advisor.

Vivo seldom makes an appearance at MWC, but this year it broke that pattern significantly by unveiling its upcoming flagship device, the X300 Ultra, along with an enhanced telephoto extender lens and a professional camera cage. While the company isn’t quite ready to launch the phone or disclose many specifications, it has assured that when it becomes available, it will be the inaugural Ultra model to be sold outside of China.

The sole specific information about the X300 Ultra that Vivo is willing to share is that it will include a 200-megapixel telephoto sensor. However, this was also the case with last year’s X200 Ultra, so we are still anticipating to learn what advancements Vivo has planned for my favorite mobile camera from previous year.

The 200-megapixel sensor is expected to be fully utilized by the new Telephoto Extender Gen2 Ultra, an optional accessory that can attach to the back of the phone. Telephoto extenders have become quite popular among manufacturers since Vivo introduced its version with the X200 Ultra, which has also been adopted by the X300 and X300 Pro, with similar products emerging from both Oppo and Honor. Vivo is stepping up its game by doubling the focal length from 200mm to 400mm with a lens co-designed with its long-time camera partner Zeiss.

This new accessory is noticeably thicker and heavier than its predecessor, yet retains a similar appearance. It comes alongside a revamped camera grip case that appears to have gained additional buttons and controls. Upon closer inspection, you may notice that the case lacks a cut-out for the touch-sensitive shutter button that was featured on the side of the X200 Ultra — could this mean that feature has been removed from the device?

In addition to the telephoto accessory, there’s a brand-new offering: a “pro-grade” camera cage developed in collaboration with phone photography accessory company SmallRig. Vivo’s press release states that the cage will feature an “array of cold shoe mounts and quick-release ports,” along with physical buttons for shutter and zoom controls, and a cooling fan specifically for demanding video recording sessions. This indicates that Vivo aims to position the X300 Ultra not just as a tool for photo lovers, but as a genuine productivity device for serious photographers and videographers.

While earlier Vivo Ultra phones have been restricted to the Chinese market, the X300 Ultra is anticipated to have a launch “in international markets” later this year. It remains uncertain how broad the actual release will be — it is nearly guaranteed that it won’t be available in the US, and Vivo’s inconsistent record in Europe raises questions as well.

Concerns regarding AI-driven disruptions in areas such as software and finance, coupled with geopolitical uncertainties, keep affecting the U.S. stock market. Nevertheless, amidst the persistent fluctuations, investors looking for better returns can enhance their portfolios by including appealing dividend-paying stocks.

Insights from leading Wall Street analysts can assist investors in narrowing down choices to include companies that consistently generate robust cash flows to sustain dividends.

Below are three dividend-sustaining stocks identified by top Wall Street experts, as monitored by TipRanks, a service that evaluates analysts based on their historical performance.

Williams Cos.

The midstream energy firm Williams (WMB) is the initial dividend selection for this week. Recently, the energy infrastructure entity augmented its quarterly dividend by 5% to 52.5 cents per share. At an annualized dividend rate of $2.10 per share, WMB stock presents a yield of 2.84%.

Following the company’s recent Analyst Day event, Jefferies analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith maintained a buy rating on WMB stock and revised his price target to $81 from the previous $78. Notably, TipRanks’ AI Analyst also holds a positive outlook on WMB stock with an outperform rating and a price target of $75.

Smith asserts that with Williams’ venture into behind-the-meter (BTM) power generation, the organization has evolved beyond being merely a traditional pipeline and gathering & processing (G&P) midstream operator. The 5-star analyst is optimistic about the company’s capacity to achieve an approximate 12% to 13% EBITDA CAGR (compound annual growth rate) until 2030, anticipating over 10% growth potential through the early 2030s.

Specifically, Smith’s confidence in Williams’ sustained growth stems from the prospects for long-term agreements within the company’s Power Innovation sector and new developments. The analyst spotlighted extended contracts concerning Apollo/Aquila initiatives, an actionable backlog of 6 GW in unsanctioned Power Innovation projects, and a $15.5 billion “shadow” backlog in Transmission (pipeline of possible projects).

“Overall, we do not foresee WMB confronting a ‘cliff’ post-2030,” stated Smith. He posits that WMB’s valuation framework necessitates reconsideration since the company is reverting to transmission, rendering its earnings and growth profile akin to that of a high-growth industrial entity rather than a conventional midstream operator.

Smith ranks at No. 519 among over 12,100 analysts monitored by TipRanks, with his ratings proving effective 65% of the time, yielding an average return of 10.1%. View Williams Statistics on TipRanks.  

MPLX

Also featured in this week’s dividend-paying energy stock list is MPLX (MPLX). This is a diversified, large-cap master limited partnership (MLP) managing midstream energy infrastructure and logistical assets while providing fuel distribution services.

MPLX boasts a quarterly cash distribution of $1.0765 per common unit (which translates to $4.31 annually), offering a yield of about 7.4%.

Recently, RBC Capital analyst Elvira Scotto revised her forecasts to incorporate MPLX’s fourth-quarter 2025 projections and reiterated a buy rating with a price target of $60. According to TipRanks’ AI Analyst, MPLX possesses an outperform rating along with a higher price target of $63.

“We consider MPLX as a strong income option among substantial-cap MLPs, supported by an enticing current yield close to 8% and plans for further growth,” remarked Scotto.

The 5-star analyst maintains a positive stance on MPLX, asserting that the company’s asset landscape, with exposure to the Marcellus and Permian basins, ensures ongoing long-term growth prospects. Scotto indicated that MPLX intends to increase its distributions by 12.5% yearly for the next two years. This initiative is reinforced by the advancement of the company’s growth projects leading up to 2027, promising mid-teen returns and visibility into mid-single digit adjusted EBITDA expansion in 2026 and 2027.

Scotto also believes that MPLX’s robust financial structure affords it the adaptability to pursue strategic bolt-on acquisitions aligning with its return benchmarks. The analyst noted MPLX’s plans to channel $2.4 billion into growth capex in 2026, with 90% allocated to Natural Gas and NGL Services in the Permian and Marcellus regions.

Scotto ranks at No. 98 among more than 12,100 analysts tracked by TipRanks, achieving success 72% of the time, delivering an average return of 15.5%. View MPLX Technical Analysis on TipRanks. 

Energy Transfer

Energy Transfer (ET) manages 140,000 miles of pipeline and related energy infrastructure. In January 2026, the organization revealed a quarterly cash distribution of 33.5 cents per common unit for the fourth quarter of 2025. With an annualized distribution of $1.34 per unit, Energy Transfer stock yields 7.21%.

Following the company’s fourth-quarter 2025 results, Stifel analyst Selman Akyol re-affirmed a buy rating on ET stock with a price target of $23. In contrast, TipRanks’ AI Analyst has a neutral rating with a price target of $20.50.

Akyol observed that Energy Transfer’s fourth-quarter performance met his expectations. The 5-star analyst noted the company’s robust demand for natural gas. He argues that while data centers attract attention, the demand landscape surpasses that. Specifically, Akyol emphasized that ET is witnessing demand for natural gas driven not solely by data centers but also by utilities catering to data center requirements.

The analyst mentioned that ET began supplying the first of three data centers for Oracle (ORCL). Additionally, the company has established a 20-year agreement with Entergy Louisiana and has linked three power plants in Oklahoma. It is also in advanced discussions with an additional Oklahoma power facility.

The analyst is optimistic about Energy Transfer’s capacity to satisfy the escalating demand, thanks to its significant natural gas reach and storage capabilities. He added that ET’s bidirectional Hugh Brinson pipeline will begin service in 2026 and is anticipated to be fully functional by early 2027.

Akyol ranks at No. 131 among over 12,100 analysts tracked by TipRanks, with his ratings having a success rate of 73%, providing an average return of 13.8%. View ET Insider Trading Activity on TipRanks.

The unusual animals that regulate their body temperature

The unusual animals that regulate their body temperature

by admin March 1, 2026
written by admin

Likewise, after an unintended flooding incident in the lab, scientists recorded an exceptionally prolonged multiday torpor in a golden spiny mouse, its body temperature falling to about 75°F (24°C).

Geiser says this greater flexibility in using torpor allows heterotherms to ride out catastrophic events. By contrast, homeothermic species can’t simply cut back their need for food and water and may be unable to endure prolonged adverse conditions.

“Perhaps there’s no food, perhaps no water, perhaps it’s very warm,” says ecophysiologist Julia Nowack of Liverpool John Moores University in England, a coauthor on the sugar glider study. Torpor, particularly in tropical regions, has “many different triggers.”

Different kinds of threats, such as predators, can also lead animals to lie low. The (aptly named) edible dormouse, for example, will sometimes enter extended periods of torpor in early summer. At first researchers were puzzled—why sleep through summer when temperatures are mild and food is plentiful, especially if it means missing opportunities to reproduce?

After examining years of data gathered by multiple teams, two researchers concluded that because spring and early summer are peak activity times for owls, these small, easily eaten animals were likely choosing to be torpid at night, safely concealed in underground burrows to avoid becoming prey. In a similar strategy to evade nocturnal predators, Fjelldal’s bats modify their torpor use slightly with the lunar phase, remaining torpid longer as the moon brightens and they grow easier to detect.

The fat-tailed dunnart, a mouse-like carnivorous marsupial native to Australia, is another species that stays subdued when predation risk increases. In one study, researchers placed dunnarts in two enclosure types: some with abundant ground cover created by plastic sheeting to simulate predator-protected habitat, and others with little cover to simulate higher predation risk. In the higher-risk enclosures, the animals foraged less and their body temperatures became more variable.

Anthropic’s Claude secures the top spot on Apple’s list of free apps following Pentagon’s disapproval.

This illustration showcases the Claude AI application visible in the app store on a mobile device on February 16, 2026, in New York City. Reports from the Wall Street Journal indicate that the Defense Department employed Anthropic’s Claude AI through its Palantir contract to assist in the assault on Venezuela and detain the former President Nicolás Maduro.

The Claude AI assistant app from Anthropic surged to the top position on Apple’s U.S. free app rankings late on Saturday, following attempts by the Trump administration to impede the use of the startup’s technology by government entities.

This surge in popularity implies that Anthropic is capitalizing on its media presence, which arises from its stance against deploying its models for extensive domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons.

President Donald Trump expressed in a post on Truth Social, “The Leftwing extremists at Anthropic have made an ABYSMAL ERROR in attempting to COERCE the Department of Defense, insisting they adhere to their Terms of Service instead of the Constitution.”

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that he requested Anthropic be identified as a supply-chain threat to national security, thus prohibiting U.S. defense contractors from using Anthropic tools.

According to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, “It is the Department’s right to choose contractors that best align with their objectives,” in a statement. “However, given the significant value Anthropic’s technology brings to our military, we hope for a reassessment.”

Historically, other AI chat applications have received greater consumer popularity than Claude. OpenAI’s ChatGPT ranked No. 2 in the App Store on Saturday, while Google’s Gemini stood at No. 4.

This month, the Claude iOS app has gained traction. On January 30, it was placed at No. 131 in the U.S. and has been fluctuating in the top 20 for most of February, as per analytics firm Sensor Tower. The data indicates that ChatGPT has maintained the No. 1 position for the majority of February.

Anthropic’s number of free users has surged more than 60% since January, with the daily sign-ups tripling since November, hitting a new record daily this week, as reported by a spokesperson via email. Additionally, paying subscribers have more than doubled this year, according to the spokesperson.

Over the past year, Anthropic—established in 2021 by former employees of OpenAI—has experienced growth as a provider of models for coding and general corporate applications. OpenAI, which has over 900 million weekly users of ChatGPT, has been addressing Anthropic’s business growth by forming partnerships with consulting firms like Accenture and Capgemini.

On Friday night, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that the startup had secured an agreement with the U.S. Defense Department for the utilization of its models.

Shortly after, pop star Katy Perry shared a screenshot of Anthropic’s Pro subscription for consumers, featuring a heart overlay.

Polymarket has been facilitating wagers on when the next US strike on Iran would occur. Naturally, following the actual occurrence and loss of life, the prediction betting market is experiencing some strain. This platform has previously been embroiled in controversy, including allegations of insider trading on the Super Bowl halftime show and the apprehension of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

In a proclamation on its website, Polymarket justified its choice to permit betting on a potential war outbreak, asserting it was an “invaluable” news source and provider of insights, while also criticizing conventional media and Elon Musk’s X. The statement states:

Note on Middle East Markets: The promise of prediction markets is to leverage the collective wisdom to generate accurate, impartial forecasts for the most significant events in society. This capability is especially vital during distressing times like today. After engaging in conversation with those affected by the attacks, who had numerous inquiries, we found that prediction markets could supply them with the answers they sought in ways TV news and 𝕏 could not.

We have contacted Polymarket for further details regarding its guidelines on betting related to violence, suffering, war, and fatalities.
