Is it us, or is it getting hotter in here? We've found the best window air conditioners available right now.

Nightmare material or truly man's best friend? A team of researchers equipped a dog-like quadruped robot with a mechanized arm that takes air samples from potentially treacherous situations, such as an abandoned building or fire. The robot dog walks samples to a person who screens them for potentially hazardous compounds, says the team that published its study in Analytical Chemistry. While the system needs further refinement, demonstrations show its potential value in dangerous conditions.

Apple on Monday unveiled "Apple Intelligence," its suite of new AI features for its coveted devices—including a partnership with OpenAI—as it seeks to catch up to rivals racing ahead on adopting the white-hot technology.

Green hydrogen could transform our energy system and solve many supply and emissions challenges. Whether this happens will depend on how economically it can be produced and how attractive it will be to consumers.
