No lidar, no bidirectional charging, and a buggy digital key.

Xbox Game Pass is now available on even more Fire TV devices, making it a great choice for Game Pass Ultimate cloud streaming.

Coming in 2025, the device even looks like a chicken egg.

The bill is inching closer to becoming law.

Untangling Meta’s latest sustainability report.

On Wednesday, Apple released the third developer betas of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1. Here's everything you need to know about the updates and features they add.

More than 2 billion people around the world do not have access to safe, uncontaminated drinking water. Around 418 million of them live in African countries.

More charging power, higher range, lower environmental impact: In the COOLBat joint research project, researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU have teamed up with partners to develop next-generation battery enclosures for electric vehicles.

Public power grids are highly complex systems. Wind turbine manufacturers have to comply with technical guidelines when connecting new turbines to avoid putting grid stability at risk. In the Mobil-Grid-CoP project, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES have developed a mobile test platform that enables realistic tests to be performed at full load, even on offshore wind turbines out in the open. The technology is assisting in the process of validating and certifying turbines and is supporting the transformation of the energy supply with a view to using more renewable energy sources.

When you ask a rideshare app to find you a car, the company's computers get to work. They know you want to reach your destination quickly. They know you're not the only user who needs a ride. And they know drivers want to minimize idle time by picking up someone nearby. The computer's job, says Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Associate Professor Saket Navlakha, is to pair drivers with riders in a way that maximizes everyone's happiness.

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology holds significant potential for greenhouse gas detection, due to its advantages of non-contact, real-time measurements. However, the technical bottleneck of cross-interference in gas absorption spectra has significantly constrained the development and application of this technique in simultaneous measurement of multi-component gases.

China-Africa relations have deepened over the past two decades, characterized by increased economic cooperation, investment and infrastructure development. China is now Africa's largest trading partner, with partnerships focused on building roads, railways and energy projects.

Ten years ago I wrote a book titled "The End of Airports" about how digital technologies and commercial air travel were on a collision course. Earlier this summer, I was proved right.

Warfare is no longer confined to physical battlefields. In the digital age, a new front has emerged—cyberspace. Here, countries clash not with bullets and bombs, but with lines of code and sophisticated malware.

It's fairly well known that women receive less favorable loan terms from salespeople, on average, than men when they borrow money. One recent study into lending practices in US car dealerships recently confirmed as much. Equally, it has been found in bank lending and mortgages for many years around the world.

The start of the new English Premier League (EPL) football season is seeing further changes to the way VAR (the video assistant referee) is operated. VAR was introduced to the EPL in 2019 in an attempt to reduce the number of incorrect refereeing decisions, including offsides—but its use is still much criticized.

Emerging byte-addressable storage technologies, such as NVM, provide a more cost-effective and larger-capacity alternative to DRAM, presenting new opportunities to address the high cost, limited capacity, and volatility of in-memory key-value (KV) stores.

Research conducted by UCL researchers reveals and explains the links between vapor depression shape and spatter dynamics during LPBF under various industry-relevant processing conditions.

Smart antennas have garnered significant attention for their ability to enable both communication and perception functions simultaneously; however, they commonly come with complicated controls and a high cost.
