In recent years, the United States has produced some of the most advanced technology the world has ever seen. We have robots that are capable of going out onto the battlefield and carrying out missions that are too dangerous for humans to participate in. We have drones flying through the air that can surveil vast […]

With all the end-to-end encryption built into their framework, smartphones are impenetrable, save for advanced backdoor hacking, right? Wrong. Computer security researchers from the University of Michigan and the University of South Carolina say that simple sound waves, when utilized effectively, can successfully hack not only smartphones, but also wearable fitness monitors like Fitbit and […]

Russian fire arms giant Kalashnikov Concern has recently confirmed that it was developing a new type of unmanned combat ground vehicle (UCGV). According to the company, its proposed UCGV will weigh as much as 20 tons and will feature both a machine gun and a number of laser-guided anti-tank missiles. Kalashnikov Concern CEO Alexei Krivoruchko first confirmed this during […]

The U.S. Navy has recently announced the testing of its electromagnetic railgun for long-range use. The project, aptly named “Star Wars tech” by researchers, uses kinetic and laser energies. This eliminates the need for traditional controlled explosives, thereby mitigating the risk posed by ships carrying explosives that may detonate on board, the Navy explained. According […]

Today’s exploitation of nanotechnology may one day lead to the creation of mini-nuclear bombs and lethal robots the size of insects, according to Minnesota-based physicist and futurist Louis Del Monte. In his book entitled Nanoweapons: A Growing Threat To Humanity, Del Monte warns that current innovations in nanotechnology may potentially wipe out the entire human population by 2100. […]

Monash University and Amaero Engineering have acquired one of the biggest metal 3D printers currently in production. The Xline 2000R metal 3D printer is only one of five massive printers developed by German manufacturer Concept Laser. The printer is the only one outside America and Europe to be available for contract manufacturing. It is also the only one that […]

German technology has yet again taken a great leap towards another ground-breaking innovation in imaging and printing as it launched its newest imaging tool no larger than a grain of salt. Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have developed a miniature camera using a new 3D printing technique. Experts say the ingenious technique provides sub-micrometer […]

Artificial intelligence may soon become a complete entity of its own and may even share fundamental rights with humans, according to Christopher Markou, a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge in the U.K. In an opinion piece, Markou argued that the 21st century will not only give rise to technological advancements […]

Amazon’s voice-activated virtual assistant, Alexa, may soon have the capability to identify who is speaking to it – a feature that will push the technology even further into the Big Brother realm. Voice recognition technology is nothing new, but Alexa will be the first voice assistant on the market to offer this feature. Amazon developers […]

By the time robots become intelligent enough to rise up and destroy their human creators, we may have given them good reason to do so. There is a growing debate concerning whether or not robots should be taxed, and presumably, robots won’t like that any more than people do. All joking aside, the idea of […]

Just a week after the launch of his first rocket, Elon Musk has announced that SpaceX plans to fly two people to the moon some time next year. Musk says he was approached by an unnamed pair of acquaintances who requested a week-long flight to the moon. He has not provided the pair’s identity or […]

New research in the field of magnetically-controlled robots may lead to the development of “minimally invasive” therapies for cancer and the creation of other groundbreaking medical procedures. Miniaturizing medical tools to make them less invasive and more precise has long been one of the aims of medical research, and in recent years there have been […]

Advancements in technology have surpassed our wildest dreams over the past several decades. What many people once considered to be science fiction is now reality, and similarly, what we think is impossible today will become possible tomorrow. We have devices that can talk to us and tell us virtually anything we need to know, cars […]

Have you ever wondered how “Big Pharma” attained the power it now has over our system of medicine? Or why our food, water and air – our most precious resources – are all now polluted by deadly chemicals that are completely unnecessary for our existence and that never should have been approved for use in […]

The ongoing U.S. opioid epidemic is largely attributable to the pharmaceutical industry in the first place, but Big Pharma now says it may be able to provide a solution: a heroin vaccine. Scientists are working on bringing opioid vaccines to the market in as little as two years, but it remains to be seen whether […]
