A brilliant 34-year-old engineer has built her own mobile phone with a rotary dial--and she did it because she despises texting and over-complicated smartphones.

The spectrum freed from the shift to digital TV is being used to bring broadband to long neglected parts of the US. But its path to market has been a messy one.

Within the next three months, Honeywell will bring to market the world's most powerful quantum computer in terms of quantum volume, a measure of quantum capability that goes beyond the number of qubits.

In an age where governments are trigger happy at censoring or shutting down networks, it is reassuring to know that Bitcoin can operate sans internet.

The law can already get into your phone anytime. But Apple needs you to think it isn't helping them...

Researchers at UNSW Sydney have made improved qubits using concepts from high school chemistry.

Supercapacitors can charge almost instantly, and discharge enormous amounts of power if needed.

You could thwart eavesdroppers with your wristwear.

Technocrats in California are driven to destroy infrastructure, culture and society in general. Killing the ubiquitous and immensely useful ham radio network used for hobby and emergency situations, is patently insane – unless you are a Technocrat.

Creepy interaction similar to plot of Black Mirror episode.

Scientists in Australia have developed a new type of electronic material that is touch-responsive and just a fraction of the thickness of current smartphone screens.

Abstract: We propose an alternative generator architecture for generative adversarial networks, borrowing from style transfer literature. The new architecture leads to an automatically learned, unsupervised separation of high-level attributes (e.g.,

Because sometimes, you just want the old web back.

The new method makes a deepfake video from an audio source.

Another downside - "Smart Cities" require countless wireless radiation transmitting devices operating 24/7. Many Americans object to being involuntarily exposed to harmful radiation.

400 Wh/kg is what they can sell, 500 Wh/kg is within range in the laboratory, while 600 Wh/kg is the new target.

It may not be long before you'll have to forget about walking down the street anonymously, says a New York Times report.

To do so, you need to gather a few basic supplies, such as a metal spring from a ball pen, a car charger (one that plugs into the car's cigarette lighter) and a 9-volt battery. Here are the steps to fulfill this task.

SpaceX had its third launch of Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

Back in 2017, Chinese startup Sublue successfully crowdfunded an underwater scooter known as the WhiteShark Mix. The company is now set to release a new-and-improved model, called the Mix Pro.

China announced Friday that it was nearing completion of its new global positioning system (GPS) network as it prepares to dominate the world's next generation of telecommunications services and further decouple from the US' GPS network, reported Nik

We've recently seen a number of battery-free implantable biosensors, that are activated by the handheld device that reads them. Scientists have now created another such sensor, that's smaller than any that have come before.

In June 2019, Tej Kohli, a London-based tech entrepreneur, invested another $100 million into Rewired, a robotics-focused venture studio.

M-B helped develop the new technology, which is cheaper and more energy-dense than current Li-Ion batteries.

Such a network could potentially reach remote and underserved areas.

If you wanted to have a replica of Michelangelo's David in your home, you'd need plenty of space to show it off. But the replica 3D-printed by Exaddon and ETH Zurich would fit in any home, though you may need a microscope to see it.
