Falling launch costs have given African nations a chance to send their own satellites into orbit.
Scientists have released the first-ever sounds of Earth's magnetic field flipping 41,000 years ago, which weakened it and let cosmic rays batter our planet's atmosphere.
Second-hand clothing can help countries meet environmental targets and drive economic growth, but it needs support. A new report says governments need to help unleash the sector's economic potential. Karina Bolin, president of Humana People to People Italia, says it's important to focus on textiles of good quality, rather than fast fashion. Also in the show: the Nobel Prize for Economics recognises work on reducing nations' inequality, and Barcelona sees fresh protests against mass tourism.
Google on Monday signed a deal to get electricity from small nuclear reactors to help power artificial intelligence.
In nature, flying animals sense coming changes in their surroundings, including the onset of sudden turbulence, and quickly adjust to stay safe. Engineers who design aircraft would like to give their vehicles the same ability to predict incoming disturbances and respond appropriately.
A tropical storm surging across the Atlantic could develop into a hurricane as it approaches Florida. The storm now has a 60% chance of evolving.
The working components of construction machinery, such as dozer push arms, face periodic conditions that result in fatigue damage over time. Continuous vibrations, tension, and impact forces accelerate wear, making precise fatigue analysis crucial to ensure reliability and performance.
In a case of 'history imitating art', human remains and a 'Holy Grail' cup have been found under the real-life filming location of Al Khazneh, Petra, Jordan.
As many as 15,000 cities across America could depopulate and vanish in the coming decades, becoming ghost cities by 2100, warns a team of researchers in Illinois
Researchers have developed a new way to automatically detect hate speech on social media platforms more accurately and consistently using a new multi-task learning (MTL) model; a type of machine learning model that works across multiple datasets.
European and Chinese automakers faced off at the Paris Motor Show on Monday as they seek to make electric vehicles affordable for the broader public as the sector faces stalling sales in many countries.
Green fields are opening around the world as researchers make inroads into improving efficiencies in new and emerging sustainable vehicles as well as a novel biofuel and power generation from the sea.
A research team has developed a bismuth telluride (Bi-Te) based thermoelectric material with artificially formed atomic-scale defects and proposed a solution to improve its properties in order to harness wasted thermal energy. This is a semiconductor technology applied to thermoelectric power generators that generate electricity by recycling waste heat below 200℃ from industrial and transportation sectors such as factories, automobiles, and ship engines. Thermoelectric power generators are a combination of p-type and n-type semiconductors that reversibly convert temperature differences into electrical energy and vice versa.
It will take Europa Clipper 5 1/2 years to reach Jupiter, where it will slip into orbit around the giant gas planet and sneak close to Europa during dozens of radiation-drenched flybys.
NASA finally launched a spacecraft from Florida on Monday on a mission to examine whether Jupiter's moon, Europa, has conditions suitable to support life. The launch had been delayed a week due to Hurricane Milton.
Apple reportedly plans to launch a more affordable Vision headset next year, likely to be priced around $2,000. This comes after the high cost of the Vision Pro limited its market appeal. The new model might feature downgraded components, including an A-series processor.
Three asteroids will come within Earth's orbit today, with the closest coming between the blue planet and the moon. The largest of the asteroids is estimated to be the size of a house.
According to Down Detector, the problems started at around 14:30 BST, and affected players globally for two hours.
OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company that developed the popular ChatGPT chatbot and the text-to-art program Dall-E, is at a crossroads. On Oct. 2, 2024, it announced that it had obtained US$6.6 billion in new funding from investors and that the business was worth an estimated $157 billion—making it only the second startup ever to be valued at over $100 billion.
A new report on the solar industry warns "the time is now" to implement circular economy measures that help it meet government Net Zero targets.
Research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology describes a new approach to the encryption of digital images. The method could be used to protect sensitive information, such as medical and scientific images, online.
A patient recovering from a limb amputation won't use a prostheses that isn't comfortable. A person rehabbing from a stroke won't use a robotic exoskeleton if the mobility it grants doesn't allow them to perform everyday activities. And a diabetes patient won't use an insulin pump that doesn't deliver the appropriate dosage of medicine to control their blood sugar.
Screen readers, voice-to-text, and other accessibility features have enabled people with disabilities to use smartphones. Yet these same features make the phones more accessible to hackers, too.
Doomscrolling before falling asleep is a bad habit that many of us would like to kick. But scientists now warn that using your phone in bed could be hurting more than your sleep pattern.
Artificial intelligence can help people process and comprehend large amounts of data with precision, but the modern image recognition platforms and computer vision models that are built into AI frequently overlook an important back-end feature called the alpha channel, which controls the transparency of images, according to a new study.
The future of wireless technology—from charging devices to boosting communication signals—relies on the antennas that transmit electromagnetic waves becoming increasingly versatile, durable and easy to manufacture. Researchers at Drexel University and the University of British Columbia believe kirigami, the ancient Japanese art of cutting and folding paper to create intricate three-dimensional designs, could provide a model for manufacturing the next generation of antennas.
Researchers from UCLA's Institute for Carbon Management have developed a method that could eliminate nearly all of of the carbon dioxide emitted during the process of cement production, which accounts for about 8% of global atmospheric CO2 emissions.
A recent excavation has unearthed 12 human skeletons and a chamber of grave offerings near Petra’s Treasury building, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Nasa's spacecraft could change what we know about life in our solar system.
Since 2019, the Australian Department for Industry, Science and Resources has been striving to make the nation a leader in "safe and responsible" artificial intelligence (AI).
