How are stars made? Why do they form in clusters? Why does it take so long? Why are some stars larger than others? Finding the answers to these questions is no small challenge. It takes millions of years to make a star. That means we canât just stake some cameras out in space and wait to compile the time-lapse footage.

What would you do if you were one of the richest people on earth? I imagine youâd generously donate all your money to charity â which is probably why youâre reading about Elon Musk rather than living like him. The Tesla tycoon briefly topped the Bloomberg Billionaires Index earlier this year, although heâs since slipped down to third place, behind space rival Jeff Bezos and LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault.

Hummers are heavy. Electric cars are heavy. What happens when you put the two together? Well, they have an obnoxiously heavy baby. But seriously, I didnât quite believe it when I first saw it.

Thereâs no universally agreed-upon definition of a âdeep techâ startup, but in my experience, theyâre usually product-centered businesses whose vision is set out by technical founders that focus on scientific and engineering innovations. That means their culture is usually all about the product, with founders and core teams rarely having any interest in, or giving thought to, their marketing and sales strategy. While this focus can be a strength in... Read more âș

Smart speakers and portable speakers get a bad rap in the audiophile world, and the Sonos Roam is both smart and portable. But as we showed with Googleâs Nest Audio, thereâs no reason wireless speakers canât bring serious sound quality.
