Slap on some solar panels and a control board and it flies for a half-second.
SpaceX will soon launch weather-prediction satellites that track how GPS signals bend as they travel through the atmosphere.
A team of researchers recently pioneered the world’s first AI universe simulator. It’s fast; it’s accurate; and its creators are baffled by its ability to understand things about the cosmos that it shouldn’t. Scientists have used computer simulations to try and digitally reverse-engineer the origin and evolution of our universe for decades. The best traditional …
The latest version of the bot detector reCaptcha is invisible to users and has spread to more than 650,000 websites. It’s great for security—but not so great for your privacy.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's “cyborg botany” researchers have turned plants into sensors and displays, suggesting we use them as a gentle alternative to electronic screens.
Algae is full of protein, cleans the air in your apartment, and looks beautiful. A new project from a RISD grad could make farming it at home as easy as growing a pot of basil.

Although it carries the “master switch” gene, SRY, that determines whether an embryo will develop as male (XY) or female (XX), it contains very few other genes and is the only chromosome …
Randomness sits at the heart of everything we do online. Many encryption algorithms depend upon randomly generated numbers to work, and that’s just one example of many. But how random is random?
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon were able to decode when people wearing an LG watch were scrolling on their phones, typing, or washing their hands.
A newly invented technology could revolutionize wearables, architecture, and green energy.
the possibility of engineering new hearts for transplants has grown more likely after researchers unveiled a 3D printed heart using human cells.
The researchers call their handy device a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and it works by generating power via static electricity. Learn more.
Thames & Hudson will publish Body: The Photography Book, a collection of 360 diverse photographic representations of the thing that houses our consciousness
