Schools give grades, and jobs give promotions. But how can the performance of a civilization as a whole be measured? That escalated quickly, we know. When you enter the realm of theoretical physics and start talking about the Kardashev Scale, that’ll happen.

Wireless charging is a relatively young technology, so it has a huge legroom for expansion. A team from Disney Research discovered one potential way to wirelessly charge mobile devices by just connecting to a WiFi signal.

30 lucky customers will get their hands on the first Tesla Model 3 electric cars to roll off the production line. Here’s why it matters.

Technological innovation is happening ever more rapidly and the changes will transform every industry. Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) can benefit from these innovative technologies but must strike a balance between using technology and being overwhelmed by it.

To help business owners embrace the potential of new technologies we asked Rohit Talwar, editor of ‘The Future of Business’ and ‘Technology vs. Humanity,’ to provide some practical advice on how to survive, and thrive, in the face of this continuous tidal wave of technological change.

Breakthrough Starshot, the Stephen Hawking-backed attempt to reach Alpha Centauri, has successfully flown its first ever spacecraft – the smallest ever launched.

Stephen Hawking and Yuri Milner announced the $100-million-dollar research program in April 2016, aiming to show that light-propelled spacecraft could fly at 20% of light speed and reach the next nearest galaxy just 20 years after their launch.

Last month, a number of their prototype “Sprites” tiny fully functional space probes built on a single circuit board, achieved Low Earth Orbit.
