Mobility pundits have promised us a future where drones would seamlessly deliver goods to our doors. Most of us are still waiting. The logic of drone delivery is to provide a sustainable option for last-mile shipping. Rather than a singledriver dropping off packages at dozens of homes, separate drones can simultaneously transport goods. But has the trend evolved beyond the hype? And when can we expect actual drone delivery? Amazonâs... Read more âș

Last year, Xiaomi managed to grab the second spot in the global smartphone market by pushing Apple to third. A seriously impressive feat, even though it was just for one quarter.

Microsoft often tests new features with its Windows Insider builds. While these are often a sign of good things to come, other times, they need to be nipped right in the bud.

Scientists at NASAâs Chandra X-ray Observatory recently uncovered a twinkling little star that might hold the key to several of the universeâs deepest mysteries. Called a pulsar for its twinkle, the starâs scant the size of a large city.

In February this year, reports surfaced on Twitter and Facebook that the Ukrainian government was undertaking a mass genocide of civilians. Around the same time, conspiracy theorists began saying Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy was an agent of the âNew World Orderâ. These claims have been thoroughly debunked, but not before attracting millions of views and offering a purported justification for Russiaâs invasion of Ukraine. More recently, Russian and Chinese officials... Read more âș

A common view of developers and other tech folks is theyâre anti-social. In other words, people who prefer to work alone with their headphones and avoid speaking to others at all costs. While this stereotype doesnât hold true for most programmers, itâs especially wrong for IT architects, a profession that relies heavily on communication. âMy work consists of talking, making some notes, doing some sketches, and more talking,â explains Lotje...

A multi-disciplinary team of researchers from Technische UniversitĂ€t Berlin recently created a neural ânetworkâ that could one day surpass human brain power with a single neuron. Our brains have approximately 86 billion neurons. Combined, they make up one of most advanced organic neural networks known to exist. Current state-of-the-art artificial intelligence systems attempt to emulate the human brain through the creation of multi-layered neural networks designed to cram as many... Read more âș
