Engineers have created a brand new type of battery that could revolutionise the charging time and range of electric cars and other technologies reliant on lithium-ion batteries. Nanoengineers from the University of California San Diego made the breakthrough by replacing the anodes on lithium ion batteries, which are used in everything from smartphones to space shuttles.

What happens when the experience of celebrity becomes universal?

The White House will discuss ways to overcome a semiconductor chip supply crisis that is cutting auto production around the world in a new round of meetings with major companies on Thursday.

Manufacturers will be forced to create a universal charging solution for phones and small electronic devices, under a new rule proposed by the European Commission (EC). The aim is to reduce waste by encouraging consumers to re-use existing chargers when buying a new device. All smartphones sold in the EU must have USB-C chargers, the proposal said.

Government regulation will never fix everything wrong with online discourse. The industry needs to develop professional norms—just as journalism once did.

One of the largest providers of HTTPS certificates, Let's Encrypt, will stop using an older root certificate next week -- meaning you might need to upgrade your devices to prevent them from breaking. From a report: Let's Encrypt, a free-to-use nonprofit, issues certificates that encrypt the connecti...

Owning things used to be simple. You went to the store. You paid money for something, whether it be a TV, clothes, books, toys, or electronics. You took your item home, and once you paid it off, that thing belonged to you. It was yours. You could do whatever you wanted with it. That’s not how it is today, and by 2030, technology will have advanced to the point that even the idea of owning objects might be obsolete.

Amazon delivery drivers say surveillance cameras installed in their vans have made them lose income for reasons beyond their control.

A coroner says the 22-year-old's death was a homicide but gives no details as to how she died.

This is not a forum that attempts to change minds. It’s much darker.

Ben Franta is trying to collect every climate-related ad the oil and gas industry has ever produced. Franta, who is pursuing a law degree and PhD at Stanford, is among a small cohort of researchers who track fossil-fuel industry propaganda. These historians, social scientists, and activists have documented the extent to which major oil companies knew their products were changing the climate as early as the 1960s, and how they poured tens of millions of dollars into sowing doubt about the science through the 1990s.

Twitter has committed to labeling tweets containing misleading information about COVID-19 vaccines, but the company says a recent Nicki Minaj tweet which claimed that “the vaccine” made her cousin’s friend impotent does not violate its rules. There is no known scientific evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine could cause a fertility problem in men or women; the CDC dedicates an entire page to debunking those fears.

Researchers working in partnership with Google may have just used the tech giant's quantum computer to create a completely new phase of matter — a time crystal. With the ability to forever cycle between two states without ever losing energy, time crystals dodge one of the most important laws of physics — the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the disorder, or entropy, of an isolated system must always increase.

For some people, the rise of Bluetooth and ultra-wideband (UWB) tracking devices and accessories is probably not just welcome, but necessary. It’s easy enough for a phone to become lost or stolen, never mind keys, or wireless earbuds that pop out at the literal drop of a hat. Gear is also getting prohibitively expensive to replace — high-end earbuds can top $250, and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 costs as much as a gaming PC. If you’re prone to misplacing things, tracking tech can save you thousands of dollars.

Hundreds of current and former Apple workers are complaining about their work environment, a rarity for the once tight-lipped company.

Australia's two most populous states are trialling facial recognition software that lets police check people are home during COVID-19 quarantine, expanding trials that have sparked controversy to the vast majority of the country's population. Little-known tech firm Genvis said on a website for its software that New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria, home to Sydney, Melbourne and more than half of Australia's 25 million population, were trialling its facial recognition products. Genvis said the trials were being conducted on a voluntary basis.

Urban Aeronautics, the Israel-based developer of the world’s first compact, wingless electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle, is getting closer to turning its groundbreaking concept into reality. New investments are taking the Cityhawk one step further towards conquering the urban skies.

The 15-year-old boy told doctors he inserted the cable as he wanted to measure his penis, in a case of "sexual experimentation."

Over a decade ago, behavioral ecologist Diane Colombelli-Négrel was wiring superb fairy wrens’ nests to record the birds’ sounds when she noticed something odd. Mother fairy wrens sang while incubating their eggs, even though it would have made more sense to keep quiet to avoid attracting predators.

To fight climate change, cities need to be designed with much more walking, biking, and public transit use in mind.

Apple just took the wraps off of the new iPhone 13 series, which promise the fastest iPhone performance yet, up to two and a half hours more battery life, new cinematic video options and a twice-as-smooth display on the Pro models. But as someone who just plunked down a bunch of cash on last year’s iPhone 12 Pro, those upgrades aren’t enough for me to make the switch just yet. And, even for those coming from an especially old phone, last year’s model just became an even better value.

Rumors of insider trading at non-fungible token marketplace OpenSea are true, according to a statement from the start-up.

Scientists discover how snakes survived and diversified after the extinction event that killed off the majority of species on Earth, including dinosaurs.

Cows can be toilet trained in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, researchers have said. In the study, which took place in Germany, scientists trained the animals to use a designated toilet. Their urine was then collected and treated. The ammonia from cows' urine turns into the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide when it's mixed with soil.

In 1905, the high court made a fateful ruling with eerie parallels to today: One person’s liberty can’t trump everyone else’s.

Space needs a burdensome and expensive deep clean, and Woz's Privateer apparently wants to take care of the mess.

Xiaomi has announced a pair of smart glasses called Xiaomi Smart Glasses. A company spokesperson tells The Verge that there’s no plan to actually put them on sale, but Xiaomi has provided enough detail to make the concept product seem somewhat plausible — at least for some point in the future.

Ksenia Coffman’s fellow editors have called her a vandal and a McCarthyist. She just wants them to stop glorifying fascists—and start citing better sources.
