A new_ battery-saving feature has been added to Google Pixel phones.


According to Android Central, Google has discreetly added a battery-saving function for Pixel smartphones. The function, dubbed "Optimizing for battery health," is said to prevent Pixel phones from charging above 80% in two scenarios: "continuous charge under high battery drain conditions, such as gameplay" and "continuous charge for four days or more." According to the source, the function would be available on Pixel 3 and subsequent smartphones, and it was first observed on qualifying Pixel models in April and May.

According to Google, when the battery-saving feature is activated, a "Optimizing for battery health" notice will appear on the phone's Always-on display as well as in the Settings app under "Battery."

Battery Care was a similar feature on Sony Xperia phones that limited charging to 90 percent and featured a toggle to switch it on or off. Google does not provide a toggle option, but the two conditions must be met for the feature to turn on, so users can rest certain that the feature will not run in the background all of the time, but only when one of the aforementioned circumstances is met. “When the phone no longer meets the conditions stated, the temporary feature shuts off automatically.


If you wish to disable battery optimization on your Pixel phone, Google recommends unplugging it from the charger or removing it from the wireless charging Pixel Stand. After that, you can either restart your smartphone or wait for the function to become dormant, which should take roughly 10 minutes. When the message vanishes and your Pixel can charge to 100% again, you'll know the feature has been switched off.

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
