Use a gadget with a lithium-ion battery inside and you'll eventually learn that these power packs decay once you've cycled them enough times. But have you ever wanted to see direct evidence of why they have a limited lifespan?

Why Gordon Moore’s grand prediction has endured for 50 years. By Chris Mack

A US bankruptcy court approved the sale of RadioShack's remaining stores to a hedge fund.

Scientists from the Stanford University have invented a new battery that can recharge a phone in just a minute. The new aluminium battery can be a good way to get rid of the long frustrating hours of charging a smartphone to be used during travel when you will not have enough charging options. Scientists have …

Here's a video about something different. A vintage German audio player that's an intriguing marriage of record and tape. Even if you live in Germany it's not guaranteed you'll have heard music played on this fascinating 1950s gadget, so now's the time to change that.

A big red button is, by human nature, an object of compulsion. If you see it, you are overcome with the desire to push it. But what happens when you do?

Xergio Córdoba is a sound engineer from Spain who has patented a system that uses psychoacoustics to allow concert halls and nightclubs to boost their volume while still maintaining the same dBA. The invention is called Masn´live© and it's basically a processor that, once inserted into any sound system, allows you to enjoy music at its intended quality without breaking any noise laws.

Can AMD's rumored Zen APU be the savior the company has direly needed for the past few years? Leaked slides from Fudzilla detail the upcoming release.

Microsoft has released a new recovery tool for Windows 10 testers whose cheap Lumia phones were bricked by its recovery tool.

Scientists at UCLA's California NanoSystems Institute have developed a new device that combines the high energy densities of batteries and the quick charge and discharge rates of supercapacitors.

Fifty years ago Sunday, Gordon Moore predicted a mind-boggling future of personal computers and mobile communications devices. His crystal ball was a graph that showed integrated circuits doubling in complexity for the coming decade. Known as Moore's Law, the doubling is still going strong, but there are challenges.

Can a relatively minor change in a single company’s pricing strategies distort our picture of what’s happening in the economy?Yes, if the company is Intel Corp. Semiconductors are what economists call a “general purpose technology,” like electrical motors. Their effects spread through the economy, reorganizing industries and boosting productivity.

A breakthrough makes it possible to tune the color of a nano-scale laser in real time - and that could be the key to making useful, real-world nano-optical devices.

Scientists have created an electronic device so accurate that it can detect the charge of a single electron in less than one microsecond. It has been dubbed the 'gate sensor' and could be applied in quantum computers of the future to read information stored in the charge or spin of a single electron.

The 787 Dreamliner has been plagued with battery woes since its early days, to the point where the Federal Aviation Administration kept it from flying the skies in the past. And while those technical difficulties are apparently taken care of, Boeing's flagship airliner could be on the way to more trouble soon. According to the FAA, there's a software bug in the 787 Dreamliner that can cause its electrical system to fail and, as a result, lead to "loss of control" of the plane.

The secret desire of urban daydreamers staring out their office windows at the sad brick walls of the building opposite them may soon be answered thanks to transparent light shutters developed by a group of researchers at Pusan National University in South Korea.

Speakers (also called loudspeakers) push and pull surrounding air molecules in waves that the human ear interprets as sound. You could even say that hearing is movement detection. So what makes a speaker travel back and forth at just the right rate and distance, and how does that make sound?

Engineers at the University of Maryland have created a battery that is made entirely out of one material, which can both move electricity and store it.

Ground-breaking research has successfully created the world's first truly electronic textile, using the wonder material Graphene. An international team of scientists, including Professor Monica Craciun from the University of Exeter, have pioneered a new technique to embed transparent, flexible graphene electrodes into fibres commonly associated with the textile industry.

South Korean flat panel maker LG Display Co. showcased on Tuesday a detachable organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel that sticks to the wall, renewing its pledge to focus on the high-end display as a future growth engine. The 55-inch wallpaper OLED panel, presented as one of the company’s future displays at a media event, is only 0.97 mm thick, weighs 1.9 kg and can easily be stuck to a wall with a magnetic mat, or removed from it.
