SpaceX is waiting for better weather in the splashdown zone where the crew will end its five-day mission.

Amidst the ongoing energy crisis and under the threat of climate change, exploiting renewable energy sources has quickly become a global necessity. Though our options are varied, solar energy seems to be our best bet—experts estimate that it may become our main energy source well before the turn of the century.

For self-flying aircraft to take to the skies, they need to learn about their environments to avoid hazards. NASA aeronautics researchers recently developed a camera pod with sensors to help with this challenge by advancing computer vision for autonomous aviation.

A quantitative study published in the Journal of Digital Economy sheds new light on the factors contributing to the long-term success of initial coin offerings (ICOs). The research empirically proves that ICOs on proprietary blockchains experience significantly enhanced performance due to network effects.

A sensor on the electric grid picks up a strange blip in current or voltage. What's happening, and will it cause an outage? Usually, a utility worker must travel in person to check. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have now developed a new automated drone inspection system that can respond rapidly to unusual electric grid behavior, especially in remote areas that are tough for a worker to reach.

Roadway-related incidents are a leading cause of flood fatalities nationwide, but limited flood-reporting tools make it difficult to evaluate road conditions in real time.

Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini excel at being trained on large data-sets to generate informative responses to prompts. Yi Cao, an assistant professor of accounting at the Donald G. Costello College of Business at George Mason University, and Long Chen, associate professor and area chair of accounting at Costello, are actively exploring how individual investors can use LLMs to glean market insights from the dizzying array of available data about companies.

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere, in cell phones, computers, electric vehicles, and even toys, to name only a few places. They have become an integral part of our everyday lives.

Discourse relation classification is a fundamental task for discourse analysis, which is essential for understanding the structure and connection of texts. Implicit discourse relation classification aims to determine the relationship between adjacent sentences and is the most challenging in discourse relation classification because it lacks explicit discourse connectives as linguistic cues and sufficient annotated training data.

What is the tech billionaire's family cooking up in a remote area of Northern California?

Here’s one for the shower scrollers.

Have you ever wished there was an easier way to own the latest MacBook?

Just as Apple patented the Apple Vision Pro in plain sight for years, it may now be doing the same with the predicted Home Hub, this time starting with a remote control for the device.

The biggest update ever to the Nest Learning Thermostat finally supports Apple Home, but it's an expensive offering with some big caveats that might be a problem for some users.

Lenovo’s Steam Deck-like already has a kickstand, but now it has a dock and its own joy-con-like platform for its detachable controllers.

What makes structures and materials designed for extreme environments reliable? Research led by the University of Alabama at Birmingham and published in Scientific Reports details developments in the understanding of additively manufactured materials under high pressures through the use of high-resolution imaging and computer simulations.
