Bird's rentable scooters are available in more than 100 locations in the U.S. and Europe, and now it's planning to add a moped-like electric bike to its fleet. The Cruiser is a chunky two-wheeler with a large seat for two people.
The International Astronomical Union has warned of the potential problems to science that satellites like SpaceX's recent launch could cause due to light pollution and interference with telescopes and radio signals.
On this episode of DT Live, we recap the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), discuss a possible Justice Department probe into big tech companies, a request to regulate the Starlink satellites, and mud-spraying drones.
Keeping your tech juiced up when you’re on the go can be a challenge when you’re traveling to another country. That’s why a universal travel adapter like the Passport Go is essential, and you can score one for $34 right now on…
Drones are finding more and more uses beyond just capturing gorgeous footage from up high. Check out this effort, for example, where a flying machine has been modified so that it can help build emergency shelters.
On this episode of DT Live, we talk about Apple’s Worldwide Development Conference, going on a safari with Google, in-display selfie cams, robotic lunar landers, and the future of untethered soft robots.
The threat of robots stealing jobs is hotly debated. In a new book, The Technology Trap, Dr. Carl Benedikt Frey sorts the truth from the fiction. We spoke with Dr. Frey about his findings.
The Mars 2020 rover will be launching next year and heading to an area of Mars called the Jezero Crater. But first it needs to be fitted with two high definition cameras which can photograph in color and can zoom.
Dust is a major problem for lunar expeditions. But now scientists from Germany have come up with an idea to make use of moon dust: by melting it with a laser and using it to 3D-print tools and equipment.
Liquid water could once have existed on the frozen surface of Pluto, put there by the violent eruption of a cryovolcano. By analyzing the wavelengths of light in images of Pluto, scientists have detected ammonia in exposed water ice.
There are still many limitations in the design of soft robots. They generally need to be tethered, meaning that they have to be connected to an external device. Now scientists have taken a first step towards untethering soft robots.
Scientists have developed an adorable robot which moves through its environment by bouncing and jumping. It can do hundreds of jumps in a 10-minute period, can jump 4 feet high, and can travel at eight to 10 miles per hour.
Check out our roundup of the best new crowdfunding projects and product announcements that hit the web this week. You may not be able to buy this stuff yet, but it's fun to gawk!
Astronomers are worried that the new constellations of satellites orbiting the earth, equipped with bright lights like SpaceX's Starlink satellites, will start to limit our ability to stargaze.
NASA's Spitzer telescope has captured a stunning images of a pair of nebulas. The image includes a region of dust and gas which acts as a stellar nursery, a nebula which is shaped by winds of maturing stars, and fully mature star clusters.
NASA's Curiosity rover has found the highest amounts of clay in any sample so far, providing evidence there was once water in the region. The rover also snapped a selfie as it explored the clay-bearing unit.
There's something dystopian about the idea of a future in which robots care for the elderly. But a number of new projects suggest a world of caregiving robots may be just what the doctor ordered.
Researchers at Caltech have developed a special reactor that can transform carbon dioxide into molecular oxygen. Here's why that's so exciting for future space travel to places like Mars.
