In 2007, Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone and described how it was three breakthrough products in one. It was widescreen iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary phone and full featured internet communication device.

Japanese researchers unveil an INFLATABLE e-bike that weighs 12 pounds and can be folded so it fits inside a backpack

With its wavy wooden exterior and concrete base, Ashen Cabin has a striking appearance, but the really interesting thing about this prototype dwelling is how it was made.

The weird world of quantum physics is being harnessed for some fascinating use cases. In the latest example, physicists have developed and demonstrated a "quantum radar" prototype that uses the quantum entanglement phenomenon to detect objects, a

Let us assume that the SpaceX Starship is a complete fully reusable success that achieves mass production.

Now, engineers have developed a new type of "super steel" that defies this trade-off, staying strong while still resisting fractures.

Air mobility company EHang has joined forces with tourism company LN Holdings to bring air tourism to the latter's hotels. One of the first projects to emerge from the new collaboration will make the LN Garden Hotel in Nansha the first hotel to offer

Now, the company has launched an incredible-looking tourist sub that can take 24 passengers, a pilot and a co-pilot down to 100-meter (328-ft) depths in air-conditioned comfort, providing panoramic views of the aquatic world through colossal 5.5-inch

"With a clever system design, you can potentially make a self-sustaining loop," says Jun Lou, lead author of the study. "Even when there's no sunlight, you can use stored energy in the form of chemical fuel. You can put the hydrogen and oxyge

CV-1984 is accelerating the spread of Orwellian surveillance devices like talking drones, facial recognition cameras, and more;

Developed at Caltech, the technology is called compressed ultrafast spectral photography (CUSP). As you might expect from the incredible frame rate, it doesn't function like any ordinary camera. It uses extremely short pulses of laser light, each o

When we think of soft-bodied robots, we tend to picture things that slowly crawl like caterpillars. A new one is able to move much quicker, though, by leaping like a cheetah.
