Mining is at a critical crossroads. The industry must supply more minerals and metals for the energy transition while simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint across its processes. It also must address negative public perceptions of its operations.

Mechanical structures often suffer from vibrations that can compromise safety, comfort, and operational longevity. Traditional control methods, while effective, demand substantial energy and complex systems. The quest for efficient and sustainable alternatives has led to the exploration of piezoelectric materials. However, the limitations of current damping techniques necessitate an in-depth examination of novel approaches to achieve superior vibration suppression.

Earlier this year, thousands of Democratic voters in New Hampshire received a telephone call ahead of the state primary, urging them to stay home rather than vote.

Candy Crush Saga is one of the world's most popular video games, with more than 5 billion downloads. That's partly because gamers can play it anywhere. It offers versions for multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, and Windows: a practice known as multihoming.

Two children are playing with a set of toys, each playing alone. That kind of play involves a somewhat limited set of interactions between the child and the toy. But what happens when the two children play together using the same toys?

Researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a millimeter thick. The researchers have also demonstrated that this technique works with shape memory materials, allowing users to repeatedly lock the soft robots into a desired shape and return to the original shape as needed.

Apple announced a slew of new features for iOS 18 at Monday's developers conference event, many of which are designed to enhance the Siri assistant and bring artificial intelligence tools to iPhone users.

Today's intelligent robots can accurately recognize many objects through vision and touch. Tactile information, obtained through sensors, along with machine learning algorithms, enables robots to identify objects previously handled.

The need to transition away from fossil fuels to more sustainable energy production is critical. That's why a team of Concordia researchers is looking at a potential power source that not only produces no carbon emissions but removes carbon as it works: algae.

Arctic shipping traffic is on the increase. One day, these ships will be autonomous. New technology that can remove rain, snow and fog from the images produced by the ship's cameras and sensors will increase safety in extreme conditions.

Raspberry Pi, maker of the eponymous budget computer sold worldwide, saw its shares jump Tuesday in their initial public offering (IPO) on the London stock market, sending the company's valuation surging.

The stock price of Chinese livestreaming e-commerce company East Buy dropped 9% and closed at HKD 13.9 on Tuesday, fueled by its star livestreamer Dong

The news also comes as Li Auto started calling back some former staff late last month after it reportedly dismissed roughly 30% of its 1,100-person Autonomous Driving Group.

On June 10, Chinese developer Game Science started the pre-sale of its upcoming action role-playing game Black Myth: Wukong, which sold out within

The reliable generation of random numbers has become a central component of information and communications technology. In fact, random number generators, algorithms or devices that can produce random sequences of numbers, are now helping to secure communications between different devices, produce statistical samples, and for various other applications.

Struggling French tech group Atos, an Olympics partner and key French defense contractor, said Tuesday it had chosen a takeover offer by a consortium led by its top shareholder Onepoint.

Apple has jumped into the race to bring generative artificial intelligence to the masses, spotlighting a slew of features Monday designed to soup up the iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Electric automaker Tesla has launched a charm offensive to try to coax shareholders to vote Thursday for billionaire CEO Elon Musk's giant pay package, after the windfall was nixed in court.

Intel is halting the expansion of a major factory project in Israel, which was going to pump an extra $15 billion towards a chip plant.

Boosting the performance of solar cells, transistors, LEDs, and batteries will require better electronic materials, made from novel compositions that have yet to be discovered.
