On September 10, cryptocurrency and blockchain leaders from around the world will converge in Beijing, China for the Shape the Future: Blockchain Global Summit. This conference will feature the release of the Bitcoin documentary "Bitcoin: Shape the

The future sounds a bit like a witch crying over a dead cat. That spooky wail is the sound hyperloop makes--at least, the version of the high-speed transportation system designed by Hyperloop One, which just took a big stride toward the day it fling

Breakthrough Starshot plans to launch a fleet of tiny interstellar chipsize probes to Proxima Centauri in 30 or 40 years.

Scientists who retested mineral samples collected during the Apollo moon missions now believe there's a massive amount of water under the lunar surface – a discovery which may make manned missions to the moon easier than previously thought.

This macho beast of a Tesla Model X is ready to tackle the toughest terrain.

Driscoll's is so secretive about its robotic strawberry picker it won't let photographers within telephoto range of it.

Today ASML is selling billions in Extreme Ultraviolet lithography machines. These machines will help deliver chips at the 5 nanometer to 2 nanometer nodes.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) now features a cutting-edge new congestion control algorithm, TCP BBR, which achieves higher bandwidths and lower latencies for internet traffic.

The Boring Company released a statement following Musk's tweets saying its talks with officials should lead to breaking ground on a tunnel "later this year."

Russians have added porosity to aluminum so that it can be lower density than water. Ships with porous aluminum foam would be unsinkable even with holes in the hull so long as the water that leaks in does not go beyond the buoyancy of the aluminum fo

The Seasteading Institute's Joe Quirk breaks down the top five things to know about our Floating City Project. Visit our website to learn more, read the DeltaSync design concept report, fill out our survey if you want to live on the first floating ci

The Netherlands is a fairly small country, so to support a growing population, the Dutch people have historically expanded out to sea.

It's been 44 years since the mighty Saturn V last thundered skyward from a launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The towering rocket, generating enough power to lift 269,000 pounds into orbit, had been the workhorse of the Apollo moon miss
