Worldwide, humans are living longer than ever before. According to data from the United Nations, approximately 13.5% of the world's people were at least 60 years old in 2020, and by some estimates, that figure could increase to nearly 22% by 2050.

If you are battling a video game goblin who speaks with a Cockney accent, or asking a gruff Scottish blacksmith to forge a virtual sword, you might be hearing the voice of actor Andy Magee.

The United States plans to award giant chipmaker GlobalFoundries $1.5 billion in direct funding to boost domestic chip production, the Commerce Department said on Monday.

A new phased-array transmitter design overcomes common problems of CMOS technology in the 300 GHz band, as reported by scientists from Tokyo Tech. Thanks to its remarkable area efficiency, low power consumption, and high data rate, the proposed transmitter could pave the way to many technological applications in the 300 GHz band, including body and cell monitoring, radar, 6G wireless communications, and terahertz sensors.

Research published in the International Journal of Internet Technology and Secured Transactions uses a hybrid approach to boosting the security of online applications, particularly within the realm of cloud computing. By merging two distinct techniques—homomorphic encryption and the squirrel search algorithm (SSA)—the study demonstrates a significant enhancement in the security of cloud computing models.

In the world of advancing technology, cyberattacks have been on the rise, causing a potential risk of stolen personal data across 400 million users. In response, governments in all 50 states have introduced breach notification laws (BNLs) mandating that companies notify a consumer if their data has been breached.

Space-based solar power (SBSP) has been in the news recently, with the successful test of a solar power demonstrator in space taking place last summer. While the concept is fundamentally sound, there are plenty of hurdles to overcome if the technology is to be widely adopted—not the least of which is cost.

Professor David Chiaramonti is looking down at the ground to help resolve a problem up in the sky: airplanes' emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants.

Inspired by the distribution of sunflower seeds, a group of scientists say they have developed a new city-pattern that ensures the best distribution of solar energy utilization "in low solar radiation countries."

Given the huge problem-solving potential of artificial intelligence (AI), it wouldn't be far-fetched to think that AI could also help us in tackling the climate crisis. However, when we consider the energy needs of AI models, it becomes clear that the technology is as much a part of the climate problem as a solution.

As we sought out Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia, Shacknews spoke with Niantic's Angela Ferguson-Martins about taking Pokemon GO Tour: Sinnoh to the Rose Bowl.

Atari's self-referential sequel to an indie banger is ambitious in an odd way. But is it good?

Recent technological advances have enabled the development of increasingly sophisticated sensors, which can help to advance the sensing capabilities of robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, and other smart systems. Many of these sensors, however, rely on individual cameras, thus the accuracy of the measurements they collect is limited by the cameras' field of view (FOV).

An app purporting to be for the Rabby Wallet crypto service, is the latest failure for Apple's App Store review team.

Apple's decision to introduce RCS support to iMessage sometime in 2024 wasn't caused by pressure from Europe, according to a new report, but instead China may have had more to do with the move.

Apple made one accessory that wasn't included in the Apple Vision Pro box — an impractically large $200 Travel Case that isn't great at what it claims to do.

In a new interview, Microsoft's Phil Spencer discusses how Microsoft is bringing its Xbox titles to new platforms — but he doesn't think they'll find a home on iOS.

Numerous Apple MacBook Air configurations with an upgrade to 16GB or 24GB of memory are $200 off at B&H Photo.

Three years after Apple kicked Epic Games off the App Store for breaking terms of business, it has allowed the firm to return with a developer account — and "Fortnite" — for use within the EU.
