Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra Gets One UI 8 Watch Update With Wear OS 6 Features

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is receiving its first major Wear OS software update along with new features in India and other regions. The company's new Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will ship with One UI 8 Watch, which is based on Google's Wear OS 6, out-of-the-box. Meanwhile, last year's Galaxy Watch Ultra, which received a minor refresh earlier this month with additional storage and a new colour option, will get the update before older watch models such as the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch 6 series.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra Gets One UI 8 Watch With Running Coach, Vascular Load and More

The company announced that it is rolling out the One UI 8 Watch update to the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra in India. The update is based on Google's Wear OS 6 for smartwatches, and it has a redesigned user interface that includes Multi-Info Tiles and Samsung's Now Bar feature that first arrived on the firm's smartphones with the One UI 7 update.

In addition to these visual changes, the One UI 8 Watch update for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra adds new health and fitness tracking features announced by the company during its Galaxy Unpacked event earlier this month. These include Antioxidant Index, Bedtime Guidance, Vascular Load, and Running Coach.

Meanwhile, users on Reddit have confirmed that the One UI 8 Watch update is rolling out to the Galaxy Watch Ultra in various regions, including the US. The screenshots of these update screens reveal that it is a 1,943 MB download, and it comes with the May 2025 security patches.

It's currently unclear when Samsung's older smartwatch models will receive the One UI 8 Watch update. The Galaxy Watch 8 series will ship with the latest version, and the Galaxy Watch 7 models are expected to be the next to receive the update, followed by the Galaxy Watch 6.

CSIRO Uses Quantum AI to Revolutionize Semiconductor Design

Researchers at Australia's CSIRO have achieved a world-first demonstration of quantum machine learning in semiconductor fabrication. The quantum-enhanced model outperformed conventional AI methods and could reshape how microchips are designed. The team focused on modeling a crucial—but hard to predict—property called “Ohmic contact” resistance, which measures how easily current flows where metal meets a semiconductor. They analysed 159 experimental samples from advanced gallium nitride (GaN) transistors (known for high power/high-frequency performance). By combining a quantum processing layer with a final classical regression step, the model extracted subtle patterns that traditional approaches had missed. Tackling a difficult design problem According to the study, the CSIRO researchers first encoded many fabrication variables (like gas mixtures and annealing times) per device and used principal component analysis (PCA) to shrink 37 parameters down to the five most important ones. ...

Hubble Uncovers Multi-Age Stars in Ancient Cluster, Reshaping Galaxy Origins

Astronomers call ancient star clusters like NGC 1786 “time capsules” for their galaxy, preserving some of its oldest stars. A new image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope offers an unprecedented close-up of this dense cluster 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Hubble's data show that NGC 1786 contains stars of different ages – a surprising find, since such clusters were once thought to hold a single stellar generation. This multi-age discovery is reshaping our view of how galaxies built their first stars, and suggests more complex early history. Mixed-Age Stars in a Galactic Time Capsule According to the official source, this Hubble image shows the globular cluster NGC 1786, a ball of densely packed stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud about 160,000 light-years from Earth. Astronomers captured this picture as part of a program comparing ancient clusters in nearby dwarf galaxies (like the LMC) with clusters in our own Milky Way. The surprising discovery is th...

A Planet with a Death Wish: How HIP 67522 b Is Forcing Its Star to Explode

Scientists have caught a planet with a death wish, which is an alien world, orbiting very near to its star, and so speedy that it is causing the star to go to its death with bursting explosions. HIP 67522 b is the planet, and it is of the same size as Jupiter with a seven-day orbit around its host star. These orbits are disturbing the magnetic field of the star and causing enormous blasting eruptions to blow back the planet and make it wrinkled. This is the first time that a planet is influencing the host star, as the astronomers reported in a study published on July 2, 2025, in the Journal Nature. A Planet with a Death Wish: HIP 67522 b's Fiery Orbit As per the study by NASA, Ekaterina Ilin, the first author of the study and an astrophysicist at the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, said that the planet was observed to trigger the energetic flares. It has been predicted by the scientists that the waves are setting off explosions that are going to happen. Magnetic Chaos: P...
