On Thursday, ahead of this weekendâs Monaco E-Prix, FIA and Formula E finally unveiled their next electric race car. Itâs called Gen3 â as in, the third generation vehicle used by the series â and comes with some BIG upgrades and claimed worldâs firsts. Inspired by a fighter jet, the Gen3 features a completely reworked exterior that makes it look kinda like a modern F18 aircraft on wheels. Credit: FIA/Formula... Read more âș

There might not be an easy answer to how Elon Musk wants to achieve âfree speech absolutismâ on Twitter. But thereâs another issue he has to tackle with his new purchase: making money. Musk has taken hefty loans from banks with his Tesla shares as collateral. Some of these loans have interest rates as high as $1 billion per year. So heâll likely want the social network to mint more... Read more âș

The UKâs roads are some of the main culprits of its greenhouse gas emissions. And in 2020, 92% of passenger kilometers traveled in the UK was made by cars, vans and taxis. That means getting around by private vehicle has a disproportionately large negative impact on the environment. Whatâs more, only 5.8% of vehicles on UK roads are ultra-low emission. Even electric vehicles, though they create less pollution when driven,... Read more âș

Stephen Hawking once suggested Albert Einsteinâs assertion that âGod does not play diceâ with the universe was wrong. In Hawkingâs view, the discovery of black hole physics confirmed that not only did God play dice, âbut that he sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they canât be seen.â Are we here by chance or design? A more pragmatic approach to the question, considering the subject matter, would be to... Read more âș

Iâm one of countless people who are foolishly faithful to Chrome. Despite the browserâs horrible rep for privacy, memory-hogging, battery-draining, and role in Googleâs monopoly, I canât call it quits. We had too many good times together â and the old bastard is still pretty. Our relationship, however, may soon face a new threat. According to a page on the Microsoft website that was spotted by Neowin, the software giant... Read more âș

Renting an escooter is cheaper than getting a cab, requires less effort than biking, and is certainly much more convenient than a packed bus. But at the same time, the number of escooter accidents is rising â with the injury rate in some cases exceeding that of motorcycles. As a preventive measure, Cincinnati has become the third city in the US to implement a nighttime ban on escooters. Citing âpedestrian... Read more âș

With nearly 84% of the worldâs population now owning a smartphone, and our dependence on them growing all the time, these devices have become an attractive avenue for scammers. Last year, cyber security company Kaspersky detected nearly 3.5 million malicious attacks on mobile phone users. The spam messages we get on our phones via text message or email will often contain links to viruses, which are a type of malicious... Read more âș

âEveryone wants free public transport, but no one wants to pay for itâ is a claim I often hear writing about mobility. But an equally pressing challenge is often excluded from the conversation: equal access to public transport. Itâs a challenging problem for transport providers. They have to contend with servicing the busiest routes. This is often at the expense of more disparate locations and times. And the further away... Read more âș

The worldâs richest man, Elon Musk, seems set to purchase the social media platform Twitter for around US$44 billion. He says heâs not doing it to make money (which is good, because Twitter has rarely turned a profit), but rather because, among other things, he believes in free speech. Twitter might seem an odd place to make a stand for free speech. The service has around 217 million daily users,... Read more âș

In the past, space was dominated by missions run by big space players, the US, Russia, and China. But the EU has set its sights to... Read more âș

Of all the grand ideas that Elon Musk has for Twitter, the one that heâs pitched most fervently is making the platformâs algorithms open source. The Tesla tycoon proposed the plan before his buyout bid was disclosed, reiterated it the day his offer was revealed, and pitched it once again after the deal was confirmed. Musk outlined his proposal at the TED2022 conference on April 14: Itâs just really important... Read more âș

Have you ever made a mistake that you wish you could undo? Correcting past mistakes is one of the reasons we find the concept of time travel so fascinating. As often portrayed in science fiction, with a time machine, nothing is permanent anymore â you can always go back and change it.
