This week on Tech Pulse, we narrate three articles spanning electric vehicle charging, smartphone battery care, and the neuroscience of digital distraction.
A Chinese automaker can now charge an EV from 10 to 70 percent in five minutes. The piece is honest about why that breakthrough won't translate to American roads anytime soon — and what's standing in the way.
Leaving your phone plugged in overnight used to be battery suicide. A tech explainer makes the case that it largely isn't anymore — and reveals what actually is quietly killing your battery over time.
A new study finds that a notification doesn't have to interrupt you to wreck your concentration. Just knowing one arrived costs you seven seconds of focus. The more personally relevant the alert, the worse the damage — and how often you check your phone matters more than how long you spend on it.
