Aerial drone footage was sent to an AI trained to track down space rocks.

Discussions of human evolution are usually backward looking, as if the greatest triumphs and challenges were in the distant past.

Using cellulose from trees and a synthetic polymer, MIT researchers have created a material that "is stronger and tougher than some types of bone, and harder than typical aluminum alloys."

Edible electronics, devices that can be broken down and digested, could perform many useful functions inside the body.

A computer that could decidedly pass Alan Turing's test would represent a major step toward artificial general intelligence.

Some economists predict China's economy will overtake the U.S. economy by 2028.

The knobby starfish skeleton has diamond-like properties and could inspire new designs for lightweight, highly resilient ceramics, with widespread applications in engineering and construction.

According to surveys, approximately half of artificial intelligence experts believe that general AI will emerge by 2060.

Outfitted with wheels and rotors, the bot can morph from a land drone into a quadcopter in seconds.

Historically, periods of mass flourishing are underpinned by technological revolutions. Currently, we are undergoing a technological revolution unlike anything the world has ever seen.

Researchers have created a method to help workers collaborate with artificial intelligence systems.

With this unique opportunity to create a totally new world, why does the metaverse already feature such old-world concepts?

Space planes could radically lower the cost of spaceflight.

This flying car — more properly called an "electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle" — will seat five and fly up to 135 mph.

The book "The Genesis Machine" outlines the promise and peril of synthetic biology, a powerful tool that will allow us to program life like a computer.

It is often assumed that AI will become so advanced that the technology will be able to do anything. In reality, there are limits.

Can space ever be safe? What about the metaverse?

It's no longer just VR vs. AR. There is an alphabet soup of metaverse acronyms, often used imprecisely. So, what do they all mean?

The massive craft could carry 100 humans to Mars and revolutionize space exploration.

Coupled with 3D printing, biomining the Moon or Mars with microbes could sustain human colonies without constant re-supply from Earth.

The Virtual Metaverse will be for gaming and other short duration uses, while the Augmented Metaverse will revolutionize society.

A new “common-sense” approach to computer vision enables artificial intelligence that interprets scenes more accurately than other systems do.

One day, we could fly across the U.S. in half an hour. A state-of-the-art hypersonic flight testing facility at UTSA could help make that dream a reality.

Is this the metaverse?

A century ago, electric cars were common. The fact that they were almost entirely replaced due to the internal combustion engine is a testament to the glacial pace of battery breakthroughs.

Steel tires may be better for the planet and could replace rubber.

Humanoid robots are coming, and Ameca is designed to be the ideal platform to study human-robot interactions.

Whether NASA likes it or not, humans eventually will be having space sex.

Digital currencies are set to upend paper currencies, but it likely won't be the decentralized utopia some hope it will be.

The AI remembers that you are 32 years old and like to eat sushi, except on Thursdays.
