Google Earth broke new ground (new water?) when they took the world of virtual-earth-exploring oceans. Of course, the oceans are kind of big. They fill up nearly three-quarters of the earth's surface area, and most of that area hasn't been mapped.
But like many of the natural world’s most violent and disruptive events, they sure do make for some incredible photo ops. Chile’s Puyehue, which began erupting on Saturday, is no exception.
General Electric has pretty much had its hand in every major technological advance in the 130 years since its founding (in part by Thomas Edison!). The company recently started a Tumblr of some of its most striking innovations
On Tuesday, the biggest solar flare in four years erupted from the sun, sending a mass of charged particles hurtling towards Earth. NASA announced that it was an M-2 (medium-sized) flare and an S1-class (minor) radiation storm.
The prototype in the Province of Asti which works with 9 generators and up to 10,000m generates a peak power of 27 MW. A park of Kitegens with100 MW peak power should produce 500 GWh/year; enough for 86,000 households.
But it turns out, according to a new study, the research about the associations between genes and other biomarkers and various maladies is vastly overstated. Bottom line: were told you are more or less doomed to eventually get a certain disease so yo
Renowned paleontologist Jack Horner has spent his career trying to reconstruct a dinosaur. He's found fossils with extraordinarily well-preserved blood vessels and soft tissues, but never intact DNA. So, in a new approach, he's taking living descen
A worldwide test was under way on Wednesday of the next generation of Internet addresses designed to replace the dwindling pool of 4.3 billion unique identifiers in the original system.
An unusual solar flare observed by a NASA space observatory on Tuesday could cause some disruptions to satellite communications and power on Earth over the next day or so, officials said.
Microsoft announces that live TV, as well as YouTube videos, will soon be available via the Xbox.
A new display technology designed for tablets uses a quarter of the power consumed by most screens while improving the range of colors and the resolution.
Among the suggestions proposed Wednesday was the need to "keep global warming below two degrees Celsius, implying a peak in global CO2 emissions no later than 2015." Global leaders must also recognise that "environmental sustainability is a preco
Besides the fissile fuel inside the plant's six reactors, more than 7 tons of spent rods have to be removed to a permanent storage site before workers can bury the Fukushima facility under concrete. The rods cannot be permanently stored in Japan be
Ten titles that inspired Technology Review to publish its own collection of sci-fi stories.
The company wants to play a key role in electronic mobile payments, but faces big challenges and big competition.
A team of computer scientists has come up with a way to automatically defeat the systems that prevent spammers from creating new accounts on sites like Yahoo, Microsoft's Hotmail, and Twitter.
The Pentagon will soon release a strategy that formalizes a long-articulated position: the United States reserves right to launch conventional attacks in response of cyber kind. But figuring who is behind such attacks may be difficult, or impossible.
Merkel's plan to exchange nuclear reactors for offshore wind farms and a stronger grid could cost more than expected.
New electronics enable a jump in performance in a prototype display made by Samsung.
The company blames China, but none of the evidence is definitive—which is the nature of such attacks.
Fortunate northerners saw a rare eclipse of the midnight sun on June 1.
An upcoming clinical trial will attempt to solve problems that have plagued one potentially promising treatment.
Natural gas burns cleanly, emits half as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as burning coal, and is extremely plentiful—especially due to new extraction technologies such as fracking. It seems like a perfect fuel for battling climate change.
Why Google, Facebook, and others are taking part in World IPv6 Day this week.
iCloud, a service that means music, photos, and documents saved onto an Apple device will soon appear almost instantly on any other Apple product that a person owns.
A phone can locate you indoors to within a few paces by combining Wi-Fi signals and the jolt of your footsteps.
The key is a modular design, which could make the technology practical as a way to keep the grid stable and reduce electricity costs.
Merkel's plan to exchange nuclear reactors for offshore wind farms and a stronger grid could cost more than expected.
ne soil sample taking 25 kilometers away from Fukushima showed Cesium-137 exceeding 5 million becquerels per square meter. This level, of course, makes it uninhabitable by humans, yet both the Japanese and U.S. governments continue to
Antimatter atoms have been held captive and kept in existence for a whopping 16 minutes by a Canadian-led team — far longer than the researchers thought possible.
