China Plans to Bring Artificial Rain to Area Three Times the Size of Spain

Artificial rain is set to fall on mountainous plains three times the size of Spain. That’s the plan for China’s latest weather manipulation project.

Daisy is Apple’s new iPhone-recycling robot

Daisy can take apart up to 200 iPhone devices per hour, removing and sorting components, so that Apple can recover materials that traditional recyclers can’t — and at a higher quality.

Two "robots" assemble a chair

Engineers were able to use robots to assemble a chair from IKEA, intended for human assembly. Robots with force sensors and a 3-D camera independently found grooves and coordinated actions to help each other.

Holographic data storage could fit 1,000 DVDs onto a 10cm film

The creation, and subsequent storage, of data is the most pressing issue in the world of technology right now. But new holographic technology could be about to make a huge impact to this problem.

France is building the world's third Hyperloop test track

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies is constructing a test track in Toulouse, France. A closed system around 1,050 feet long will comprise the first phase, and the company says it will be operational in 2018.

UK Government Proposes Five Basic Principles to Keep AI safe and ethical

Britain is in a strong position to be a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence. But to get there—and to keep AI safe and ethical—tech firms should follow the Committee’s newly proposed “AI Code.”

Quantum Experiment Creates May Be The Most Entangled Controllable Device Yet

A new quantum device entangles 20 quantum bits together at the same time, making it perhaps one of the most entangled, controllable devices yet.

Is blockchain technology really the future of the Internet?

Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize how business transactions take place.

This 3D Printed Electric Car Will Enter Production This Year

Two companies recently announced the release of a small electric car whose every visible component is 3D printed except the chassis, seats, and glass.

Sensors make world’s first 3D printed steel bridge 'a living laboratory'

The 12 metre-long stainless steel bridge will be the world’s largest 3D printed metal structure. The finished structure will be opened to pedestrians and cyclists in Amsterdam.

The Future of The Internet of Things

The world could have more than 50 billion connected devices by 2020 — seven times the amount of people on Earth.

Optically Rewritable LCD Could Enable Flexible Displays

Engineers have manufactured a flexible, optically rewritable liquid crystal display that is about as thin as a piece of paper. The flexible display technology could be a breakthrough in printed media.

Scientists Construct Biocomputer Made From Living Human Cells

Using nine different cell populations assembled into 3D cultures, the team of synthetic biologists has managed to get them to behave like a very simple electronic computational circuit.

The terahertz computer chip is now within reach

Following three years of extensive research, physicists have created technology that will enable our computers to run 100 times faster through terahertz microchips.

Light-emitting device opens the possibility for 'invisible' displays

Engineers have built a bright - light emitting device that is fully transparent when turned off. The light emitting material in this device is a monolayer semiconductor, which is just three atoms thick.
