The world almost turned upside down when over the weekend, Elon Musk asked on Twitter if he should sell 10% of his stake in Tesla.

Battery researchers and manufacturers have been assiduously searching for a more sustainable replacement. One intriguing alternative theyâve discovered is another chemical element: sodium. Why lithium... Read more âș

TLDR: Retro game like itâs 1999 with this throwback game console at a ridiculously holiday-friendly price. While no one challenges the raw processing power or unparalleled visual dazzle of cutting edge gaming consoles like the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X, thereâs a reason that Tic Tac Toe and Hangman have existed and thrived for hundreds of years. Because game play matters. A lot. And when it comes to... Read more âș

VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft are rapidly growing from prototypes to commercial vehicles. But while most prioritize electric batteries, thereâs a suite of companies developing hydrogen-powered VTOLs, including the Skai from US company Alakaâi I recently spoke to Brian Morrison, co-founder, president, and CTO, to find out more.

Unicorns, rainbows, seed, pre-seed, angel⊠my head was spinning as I changed fields a couple of years back.

Hereâs something you donât read every day: Apple is making it easier to fix your broken iPhone 13.

âIf you want something done right, do it yourself,â the saying goes. Thatâs the strategy Microsoft appears to be taking with its new Surface Laptop SE, by far the cheapest PC the company has ever made (the excellent Surface Laptop Go started at $549). Itâs a shot across the bow to Googleâs Chromebooks, with which Microsoft is taking matters into its own hands, rather than relying exclusively on partners making... Read more âș

Pac Manâs a simple protagonist. He doesnât have a scruffy beard or a worried look in his eyes. Heâs doesnât sling out quips or one-liners. He eats dots. Thatâs it. Thatâs sort of how black holes work. They only do one thing: gobble up literally everything. But, just like Pac Man, they can only eat the stuff thatâs right next to them. Black holes and stars collide often and, usually,... Read more âș
