Most fitness trackers are rather drab things. Sure, there are some smartwatches that toe the line between technology and fashion decently enough, but if you want a more basic device that emphasizes the fitness-tracking aspect, there isn’t too much to choose from. Fitbit is trying to fill this gap with its new $150 Luxe tracker. As one might presume from the name, it aims to be Fitbit’s most stylish tracker... Read more ›

In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a radical technology that would allow faster than light travel: the warp drive, a hypothetical way to skirt around the universe’s ultimate speed limit by bending the fabric of reality. It was an intriguing idea – even NASA has been researching it at the Eagleworks laboratory – but Alcubierre’s proposal contained problems that seemed insurmountable. Now, a recent paper by US-based physicists Alexey Bobrick... Read more ›

An electric vehicle successfully takes tailpipe emissions out of the environmental equation. Fact. Charge it with renewable energy and its impact flatlines. Great. But while all this is preferable to a traditionally fuelled vehicle that will continue to pollute throughout its lifetime, a Polestar 2 still leaves the factory gates with a 26-ton CO2e production footprint. And we believe it doesn’t have to.In fact, we’re committing to creating a completely... Read more ›

According to a tweet thread from the analysis firm NPD Group, the PS5... Read more ›
