There has been no era like ours for the rapid development of technology. Stay updated on the hottest trends and advancements from all over the world.
While microbots are expected to flow through our bodies to keep them in check by 2030, the prospects for these microbots are still limited by challenges in powering the devices and guiding them through the body. A team of researchers from China may have found a solution to both problems. See here Read More...
To get a tight grip on the spread of malaria, researchers in Zanzibar are flying drones to help locate small bodies of water where mosquitos may lay their eggs. The imagery captured by the drone help the researchers create precise and accurate maps of potential mosquito Read More...
A collection of East African nations are working together to curb the economically and environmentally harmful practice of illegal fishing. To do this, the eight nations have begun to share data on vessels that may be fishing with forged licenses or that have already been caught fishing illegally. Read More...
When it comes to predicting the future, Ray Kurzweil has a knack for it. He has a thirty-year track record of accurate prediction regarding humans and our relationship with technology. See here why the futurist believes Artificial Intelligence will enhance people for the Read More...
Airbus is developing a self-driving plane that takes off and lands like a helicopter. The electric plane has no controls on the inside of the cabin and an onboard computer serves as the pilot. The aircraft’s wings also tilt forward for flight like an airplane, allowing it travel twice as far as a Read More...
The eggs of the endangered sea turtle are considered a delicacy and an aphrodisiac, making them an expensive commodity on the black market.
