Tech industry titans are banding together to try to ensure the world has enough energy, with less of the carbon emissions tied to global warming.
Human power used to be all the rage. 150 years ago, products that relied on human energy such as the bicycle, pedal-powered lathe or sewing machine could be found in most households. But as electro-mechanical motors developed, reliance on human-powered products gradually diminished.
Smart home systems and tiny houses don't have to be mutually exclusive, and could even be complementary to each other, as Intel's model showcase for its Internet of Things (IoT) platform illustrates.
A man walks through hundreds of pairs of shoes displayed in Paris as part of a rally called "Paris sets off for climate" on Sunday, Nov. 29. More than 140 world leaders are gathering around Paris for high-stakes climate talks this week.
Physicists have used photons to communicate between two electrons through 1.2 miles of fiber optic cable.
Magnetic sensors are in everything from home appliances to car-counters at the drive-through. A new technology promises to make them cheaper and smaller.
Deciding whether to buy organic food can be a dilemma. Produce grown without the use of pesticides is frequently more expensive than standard versions, and not everyone can afford to buy it all the time. But does shopping for organic food have to be all or nothing?
NASA has announced that they've installed the first of the James Webb Space Telescope's mirrors. The part is one of eighteen that will eventually be bolted to the satellite, which is set to launch in 2018.
Last month, Google announced that it will invest in Africa
Amazon is building a 100-megawatt wind farm in Ohio to power its cloud service centers.
Cochin International in southern India is the world's first airport to be run solely on power from the sun. It became totally energy self-sufficient in August. How's it holding up?
The Government of Bangladesh has approved construction of a huge solar power project which is expected to play a critical role in the country achieving its renewable energy targets.
In the race to build the first functional quantum computer, Australian researchers at the University of NSW find coding possible in silicon
NASA today sent out invitations to journalists for a tour of its Quantum Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, a joint project with NASA, Google, and the Universities Space Research Association located at NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley.
Quantum entanglement - the process though which particle's states become inextricably linked, despite being nowhere near each other, is usually carried out at incredibly low temperatures. But not any more: now physicists can perform the act at room temperature, which could have a profound effect on quantum computing and security.
