Some time in next ten years, a Chinese mission aims to do whats never been done before: collect cloud particles from Venus and bring them home. But achieving that goal will mean overcoming one of the most hostile environments in the solar systemthe planets cloaking clouds are primarily made up of droplets of sulfuric acid. When China unveiled a long-term roadmap for space science and exploration last fall, its second phase (2028-2035) included an unprecedented Venus atmosphere sample return miss
The French are saying non, merci to Tesla, as sales crashed to just 700 units in May a level not seen in more than three years. The Model Y changeover was clearly not the problem.
Tesla critics would typically paint the company’s electric vehicles as reliability nightmares with subpar build quality and cheap materials. As per a survey from the U.K., however, the opposite is true, as Tesla is not just the country’s overall best-rated car brand, it is also the second most reliable carmaker. The survey was conducted by HonestJohn.co.uk , which asked its readers to rate their cars across several metrics, such as efficiency, reliability, practicality, safety, comfo

Last month, Nissan announced job cuts as part of its efforts to cut costs and right the ship, but this weeks tariff announcements could be a blessing in disguise for the Japanese automaker. Its most popular model, the Rogue crossover, is built in Tennessee, exempting it from the worst of the tariffs impacts, which will likely save hundreds of jobs. Nissan previously said it would cut a shift at the Smyrna, TN assembly facility, but the trade war has pushed American-built vehicles into the spotli
In the late 1970s, a time when 8-bit processors were state of the art and CMOS was the underdog of semiconductor technology, engineers at AT&T s Bell Labs took a bold leap into the future. They made a high-stakes bet to outpace IBM , Intel , and other competitors in chip performance by combining cutting-edge 3.5-micron CMOS fabrication with a novel 32-bit processor architecture.
About a year ago, Boston Dynamics released a research version of its Spot quadruped robot , which comes with a low-level application programming interface (API) that allows direct control of Spots joints. Even back then, the rumor was that this API unlocked some significant performance improvements on Spot, including a much faster running speed. That rumor came from the Robotics and AI (RAI) Institute , formerly The AI Institute, formerly the Boston Dynamics AI Institute , and if you were at Mar
One of the greatest climate -related engineering challenges right now is the design and construction of a large, zero-emission, passenger airliner. And in this massive undertaking, no airplane maker is as invested as Airbus. At the Airbus Summit , a symposium for journalists on 24 and 25 March, top executives sketched out a bold, tech-forward vision for the companys next couple of generations of aircraft.
At an event in Dortmund, Germany today, Amazon announced a new robotic system called Vulcan, which the company is calling its first robotic system with a genuine sense of touchdesigned to transform how robots interact with the physical world. In the short to medium term, the physical world that Amazon is most concerned with is its warehouses , and Vulcan is designed to assist (or take over, depending on your perspective) with stowing and picking items in its mobile robotic inventory system.
Few explorers have reached the heights, literally and figuratively, that Bertrand Piccard has. He is the quintessential modern explorer, for whom every big mission has a purpose, which generally boils down to environmental and climate-change awareness. In 1999 he was the first person to circumnavigate the globe non-stop in a balloon, called Breitling Orbiter 3.
Jeremy is a 31-year-old autistic man who loves music and biking. Hes highly sensitive to lights, sounds, and textures, has difficulty initiating movement, and can say only a few words. Throughout his schooling, it was assumed he was incapable of learning to read and write. But for the past 30 minutes, hes been wearing an augmented-reality (AR) headset and spelling single words on the HoloBoard , a virtual keyboard that hovers in the air in front of him.
Tesla still has no plan to make things right for millions of car owners with its HW3 system, more than four months after it finally admitted that the hardware wont support self-driving. At this point, the automaker is just hoping they buy new cars.
Since last September, Ive been spending seven hours a day, five days a week happily researching the history of women in electrical engineering. So far Ive uncovered the names of more than 200 women who contributed to electrical engineering, the first step in an eventual book project. No disrespect to Ada Lovelace , Grace Hopper , or Katherine Johnson , but there are many other women in engineering you should know about.
The XPrize Foundation today announced the winners of its four-year, US $100 million XPrize competition in carbon removal. The contest is one of dozens hosted by the foundation in its 20-year effort to encourage technological development. Contestants in the carbon removal XPrize had to demonstrate ways to pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or oceans and sequester it sustainably.
When AI researchers talk about the risks of advanced AI, theyre typically either talking about immediate risks, like algorithmic bias and misinformation, or existential risks , as in the danger that superintelligent AI will rise up and end the human species. Philosopher Jonathan Birch , a professor at the London School of Economics, sees different risks.
Teslas sales have fallen 87% in Quebec in the first quarter 2025 compared to the same period last year. The critical Canadian market has been wiped out, and Tesla is no longer importing new vehicles.
We are all made of star stuff, as astronomer Carl Sagan was fond of reminding us. Supernova explosions, the catastrophic self-destruction of certain types of worn-out stars, are intimately tied to life on Earth because they are the birthplaces of heavy elements across the universe. Most of the iron in our blood and the sulfur in our amino acids originated in stars that detonated billions of years ago.
Amazon is about to start testing humanoid robots for package delivery. The goal is for the robots to come out of the Rivian electric delivery vans and bring packages to your door.
A long-awaited, emerging computer network component may finally be having its moment. At Nvidias GTC event last week in San Jose, the company announced that it will produce an optical network switch designed to drastically cut the power consumption of AI data centers. The systemcalled a co-packaged optics, or CPO, switch can route tens of terabits per second from computers in one rack to computers in another.
Tesla is caught in a legal fight in which it admitted that it would suffer financial harm if its self-driving crash data would becomes public, but its not for the reason you are thinking.
Theres a mathematical concept called the kissing number. Somewhat disappointingly, its got nothing to do with actual kissing; It enumerates how many spheres can touch (or kiss) a single sphere of equal size without crossing it. In one dimension, the kissing number is two. In two dimensions its 6 (think the New York Times spelling bee puzzle configuration).
This year, Bell Labs celebrates its hundredth birthday. In a centennial celebration held last week at the Murray Hill, New Jersey campus, the labs impressive technological history was celebrated with talks, panels, demos, and over a half dozen gracefully aging Nobel laureates. During its impressive 100 year tenure, Bell Labs scientists invented the transistor , laid down the theoretical grounding for the digital age, discovered radio astronomy which led to the first evidence in favor of the big
Many people who have spinal cord injuries also have dramatic tales of disaster: a diving accident, a car crash, a construction site catastrophe. But Chlo Angus has quite a different story. She was home one evening in 2015 when her right foot started tingling and gradually lost sensation. She managed to drive herself to the hospital, but over the course of the next few days she lost all sensation and control of both legs.
Solar and wind accounted for almost 98% of new US electrical generating capacity added in Q1 2025, according to new Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ( FERC ) data reviewed by the SUN DAY Campaign. Solar and wind also made up an impressive 100% of new capacity in March, and March was the 19th consecutive month in which solar was the largest source of new capacity.
Nestled at the foot of a steep, forested hill, 16 kilometers outside Wellington, New Zealand is a rather unassuming building; one among many on a research campus that was first established in the 1940s. From outside, theres little to suggest that this is the birthplace of a remarkable piece of technology bound for the International Space Station (ISS) in the coming months.
Its not a Toyota , Nissan, or a Honda, but this new mini EV is already a sensation. The mibot mini EV costs just 1 million ($7,000), or about half the price of Nissans Sakura, the top-selling EV in Japan.
All renewable energy sources, including wind + solar, produced more than a quarter of US electrical generation in Q1 2025 and provided nearly a third of total US electrical generation in March alone, according to US Energy Information Administration (EIA) data reviewed by the SUN DAY Campaign.
