Imagine walking down a busy city street surrounded by the usual urban clutter — graffiti-covered walls, chained bicycles and various pieces of street furniture. Among these familiar sights, you might pass by what appears to be a nondescript telecom signal box. But with the push of a button, this unassuming object transforms into a fully…
In a groundbreaking achievement, Chinese scientists have set a new world record by sustaining plasma temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius for nearly 18 minutes. The feat was accomplished using the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), a nuclear fusion reactor often dubbed the “artificial sun.” This remarkable milestone propels humanity closer to unlocking the potential…
Nowadays, almost every app you download asks for location permissions, meaning it wants to track where you are and your movements. For an app like Google Maps, requesting location access makes perfect sense. It’s also reasonable for apps like Uber or DoorDash, which rely on location for their services. However, many apps that have nothing…
In a world where loneliness is becoming increasingly prevalent, researchers have taken a bold step forward by introducing Melody, a life-sized artificial intelligence robot designed to combat this growing epidemic.
