NASA is making great strides at learning and explaining the complexities of not just the planets in our celestial backyard, but also the makeup of our galaxy and the universe as a whole.

Drones can’t stay up in the air for too long because they’re limited by battery life. Self-driving cars, on the other hand, are limited by speed and obstacles, such as traffic.

MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) may have a solution. Continue reading...

Alphabet execs will not be waking up to good news today. They already knew that Google was facing a fine in Europe that would likely beat the record set a few years ago by Intel’s €1.06 billion punishment.

Considering the reports suggesting Apple plans to have Samsung Display supply the OLED screens for the upcoming iPhone 8, it's likely a safe bet that the image quality on those screens will be absolutely stunning.

We've already discussed how Apple can salvage this hideous design choice, and we sincerely hope this is what the company plans to do. Utilizing this solution would likely mean that the iPhon…
