A self-driving taxi has no passengers, so it parks itself in a lot to reduce congestion and air pollution. After being hailed, the taxi heads out to pick up its passenger—and tragically strikes a pedestrian in a crosswalk on its way.

Solar energy is a promising way of reducing our dependence on fossil-fuel-based energy resources to opt for cleaner energy forms. Over the years, solar cells that can harness this renewable energy have undergone significant progress.

One of the drawbacks of fitness trackers and other wearable devices is that their batteries eventually run out of juice. But what if in the future, wearable technology could use body heat to power itself?

As someone who helped set up one of the first iPhones back in late 2007 on live TV, I found the launch of the first iteration of Apple's smartphone an exciting time. At the launch in June of that year, a grinning Steve Jobs proudly held up that early device to the obvious delight of Apple fans.

When cars, planes, ships or computers are built from a material that functions as both a battery and a load-bearing structure, the weight and energy consumption are radically reduced. A research group at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden is now presenting a world-leading advance in so-called massless energy storage—a structural battery that could halve the weight of a laptop, make the mobile phone as thin as a credit card or increase the driving range of an electric car by up to 70% on a single charge.

Apple on Monday charged into the artificial intelligence craze with a new iPhone lineup that marks the company's latest attempt to latch onto a technology trend and transform it into a cultural phenomenon.

A team of software and information systems engineers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in Israel, has demonstrated an ability to extract useful data from an air-gapped computer. The group has posted a paper to the arXiv preprint server describing their experiments and results.

BMW said Tuesday it was recalling about 1.5 million vehicles due to problems with their brakes and cut its outlook for the year, sending the German luxury carmaker's shares tumbling.

An extendable robot began on Tuesday a two-week mission to retrieve the first sample of melted fuel debris from inside one of three damaged reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

The EU's top court on Tuesday delivered two major victories in the bloc's battle to rein in tech giants by ruling against Apple and Google in separate legal sagas with billions of euros at play.

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) have become the most widely used rechargeable batteries worldwide. Energy researchers and material scientists have been trying to identify alternative materials that could serve as LIB components, potentially leading to improvements in battery performance and efficiency without significantly increasing fabrication costs.

Chinese tech giant Huawei on Tuesday unveiled its new smartphone, billed as the world's first trifold phone, hours after US competitor Apple lifted the curtain on its new iPhone built for AI.

A long robot entered a damaged reactor at Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant on Tuesday, beginning a two-week, high-stakes mission to retrieve for the first time a tiny amount of melted fuel debris from the bottom.

Chinese automotive companies had a strong presence on the Fortune magazine’s annual list of 500 top global businesses, with ten of them listed despite the

Huawei on Monday launched its first foldable phone in the Nova series, the Huawei Nova Flip, one of the few foldable phones on the market targeting young consumers. To showcase its new flip phone, Huawei partnered with Chinese video-sharing platform Bilibili for a launch titled Super Science Night: New Scene.

Tencent has reportedly joined the latest fundraising round of Moonshot AI, China’s star venture in the current AI wave, according to a Bloomberg report.

High-precision positioning in urban areas faces obstacles such as frequent signal blockages and interference from buildings, which compromise the performance of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) systems. These conditions lead to reduced accuracy and reliability, making it difficult for traditional solutions to meet precision demands.

Apple on Monday announced a new iPhone built for generative artificial intelligence as it seeks to boost sales and show it is keeping up in the technology race.
