Since Dubai aims to transform itself into a walkable city, cutting down on traffic congestion is a key goal. With this in mind, Dubai authorities have inked a deal with The Boring Company to create a network of tunnels likened by founder Elon Musk to a "wormhole" that will allow users to move at spe...

Canada is set to begin work on a high-speed inter-city rail network – the largest infrastructure project in the country's history. Spanning 621 miles (1,000 km), its lines will help commuters travel between Toronto and Montréal – the two biggest cities in Canada – within three hours, or half the tim...

If you were to compile a list of walkable cities, the scorching desert metropolis of Dubai would probably rank pretty low. However, this will soon change with an extensive network of walkways, including raised and air-conditioned footpaths. Continue Reading Category: Architecture, Lifestyle Tags: Bu...

SpaceX has launched 20 of its Starlink satellites up into Earth's orbit, enabling direct-to-cellphone connectivity for subscribers anywhere on the planet. That completes the constellation's first orbital shell, following a launch of an initial batch of six satellites for testing back in January. Con...

Since Saudi Arabia is aiming to transform its country into a futuristic tourist paradise with projects like the Line and Mukaab, it's going to need to seriously upgrade its transportation network. As part of this endeavor, authorities have inaugurated a huge new driverless metro system which is hail...

Nobody could accuse Network of Architecture (NOA) and Atelier4 of playing it safe with the Puzzle Tirana tower. Envisioned as a vertical village, the extraordinary building's exterior looks more like a work of abstract art than an actual building and will be formed from a number of stacked house sha...

Fascinating new findings into how clusters of 'brain stars' retain memories has changed what we know about how they're held in our minds. Continue Reading Category: Biology, Science Tags: Baylor College of Medicine, Neuroscience, Brain, Memory, Alzheimer's disease, PTSD, Neural Network, neurons

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has named London's Elizabeth Line rail transport network as the winner of the 2024 Stirling Prize, the UK's most prestigious architecture award. The judges lauded its remarkable engineering achievement and passenger-focused design. Continue Reading Ca...

If you’re on the Moon and your phone is about to die, there aren’t many places to plug in the charger. But Honeybee Robotics has outlined a plan to build a kind of power grid up there, with a network of Statue of Liberty-sized towers containing solar panels and batteries that provide power and commu...

Star Catcher Industries has secured US$12.25 million in seed funding for its ambitious plan to build the world’s first “space-based energy grid.” A network of satellites would gather energy from the Sun and beam it at higher concentrations to other satellites in orbit.

Unpredictable monster waves at sea can severely damage ships and offshore platforms, putting the lives of those who work on them at risk. A new system out of the University of Maryland uses a neural network to provide valuable early-warning alerts. Continue Reading Category: Marine, Transport Tags: ...

Wi-Fi security usually means keeping virtual intruders off your network, but a new system claims to be able to use Wi-Fi networks to detect physical intruders. Gamgee’s Wi-Fi Home Alarm System can learn to recognize people and pets who belong there and alert you to strangers – or perhaps even when a...

Instead of equipping its sharp-looking GR-1 general purpose humanoid with a full next-gen sensor suite including such things as radar and LiDAR, Fourier Intelligence's engineers have gone vision-only. Continue Reading Category: Robotics, Technology Tags: Humanoid, Robots, Cameras, Artificial Intelli...

We've seen some impressive nature-inspired flying bots from the creative minds at Festo's Bionic Learning Network over the years, but the autonomous BionicBee is not only the smallest so far but also the first capable of swarming.

By analyzing the brain waves of improvising jazz musicians, researchers now understand how the brain achieves a creative flow state. The findings have practical implications for anyone – not just musicians – wanting to get ‘in the zone’ to generate creative ideas.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, S...

From sniffing out diseases and explosives, to some clever animal and dinosaur adaptations for life, the nose and its broad olfactory functions are an important, if somewhat underappreciated, part of many animals' sensory systems.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: University of Colorado,...

Researchers have created a thin transparent neural implant that can monitor activity on the brain's surface but also account for functions at a deeper level. The hope is that it will lead to an accurate but less invasive brain-computer interface.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Neural Network,...

The human body's microbe makeup is increasingly linked to the onset of many diseases, with a lot of the focus on the gut. A new study, however, has found that changes in the bug populations in not just the gut but in salivary and urinary microbiomes are linked to kidney stones forming.Continue Readi...

There's a new global news network launching in 2024 which completely ditches humans for AI-generated newsreaders – and they're showing off some superhuman capabilities that make it very clear: the days of the human news presenter are numbered.Continue ReadingCategory: Home Entertainment, TechnologyT...

Effective targeted treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and even the repair of damaged nerves caused by the disease could soon be within grasp, thanks to yet another breakthrough in the field of small molecule drug research.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: University of Aberdeen, Mult...

For the first time, dopamine regulation has been mapped in real time, deep inside the brains of three humans, revealing how the brain neurotransmitter plays an essential role in not just recognizing rewards but learning from mistakes.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Wake Forest Univer...

The US, UK, and Australia AUKUS agreement is about more than nuclear subs, as evidenced by the three nations announcing the building of an international Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC) network intended to monitor space out to geosynchronous orbit.Continue ReadingCategory: Military, Techn...

The unique microscopic structure of the feathers of the eastern bluebird, a type of North American thrush, has inspired the creation of a simple-to-produce, scalable and robust novel synthetic material that could be used in batteries and water filters.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags...
