As Maggie Jauregui was getting ready for a date last November, she was simultaneously blow drying her hair and chatting with her boyfriend over a walkie talkie—the sort of electronic gadget that the hacker couple enjoy messing around with. Suddenly, the hair dryer’s plug began to violently vibrate against the wall socket, then spark and…

Is it bad to charge your phone overnight? What about charging an iPhone with an iPad adapter? Despite how often we use devices like smartphones and laptops, we have plenty of questions about how those technologies works. And with so much information out there — not all of it true — it's hard to know if we're treating our electronics properly.

The USB Promoter Group has announced that the greatest invention in the known universe — the reversible Type-C USB connector — is finally ready for mass production. The USB Implementers Forum will now take the Type-C spec and start building devices, cables, and adapters that support the new reversible connector.

Applied Materials has started shipping equipment that could help double the energy storage of batteries.

The constant drive for miniaturization doesn't just apply to consumer electronics: the crooks are at it, too. And when it comes to card skimmers, this tiny thing is pretty much impossible to spot.

Much of TiVo‘s growth in recent years has come from partnerships with cable and satellite companies, which have made its DVRs available to their subscribers. But with the release of a new, cheaper over-the-air DVR, the company is going after the cord cutter set.

In the ruthlessly competitive world of technology, where companies rush the latest gadget to market and slash prices to stay competitive, the TI-84 Plus is an anomaly.

Nanoscale light-matter interaction observed in circuit could lead to on-chip optical processing

What on Earth would you do with 26,000 hours of recorded TV? That's the question some (wealthy) TiVo customers will be trying to answer, as the company has announced its new pricey TiVo Mega DVR, which allows users to record roughly three years of TV. Yes, you read that right.

Graphene is easy produced, but is not yet suitable for mass production. A new breakthrough may help revolutionize electronics and the energy industries, and it all started with a 10-dollar bet.

Nanostructured ceramics could be used to build lighter, stronger airplanes and batteries.

Scientists have married two unconventional forms of carbon -- one shaped like a soccer ball, the other a tiny diamond -- to make a molecule that conducts electricity in only one direction. This tiny electronic component, known as a rectifier, could play a key role in shrinking chip components down to the size of molecules to enable faster, more powerful devices.

This is the promise of the near future: all of your gadgets — from your smartphone to your fridge — will be able to talk to each other, wirelessly communicating whether you're around or not. We're almost there, but a new device from Stanford and University of California, Berkeley, professors may speed things along. Engineers from the schools have designed a radio the size of an ant.

The handwriting has been on the wall since the 1980s, according to former Bell Labs scientist, now co-founder and chief scientist at POET, Geoff Taylor. According to Taylor, GaAs, as opposed to silicon, will boost electrical transistor performance while integrating optical circuitry capabilities. These qualities enable both higher performance and novel IC architectures, thereby extending Moore's Law indefinitely.

With LEDs being the preferred long-lasting, low-energy method for replacing less efficient forms of lighting, their uptake has dramatically increased over the past few years. However, despite their luminous outputs having increased steadily over that time, they still fall behind more conventional forms of lighting in terms of brightness.

Verité calls for the electronics industry to end forced labor in countries like Malaysia by regulating supply chains.

Sometimes it feels odd to review the cheaper elements of the motherboard market. The more expensive models have more to play with, whereas the sub $160 market for Z97 comes down to the choice of an individual controller or two. Here is where brand loyalty and styling seem to matter more than absolute feature set. To make matters worse for MSI, one of the other manufacturers is also branding their motherboards with ‘Gaming X’, making it harder to forge that nomenclature as a brand. Today we are looking at the MSI Z97 Gaming 5 at $160, which at the time of writing is sold out on Newegg.
