The most precise experimental atomic clock has been developed in the United States that neither loses nor gains a second in five billion years. The newly created experimental strontium clock has set new world records for both precision and stability, the researchers claim. The finding was achieved by a team of researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, United... 

Scientists claim to have developed a revolutionary new giant 3D concrete printer that can build a 2,500-square-foot house in just 24 hours. The 3D printer, developed by Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis from the University of Southern California, could be used to build a whole house, layer by layer, in a single day. The giant robot replaces construction workers with a nozzle on a gantry, which squirts... 

In recent years a new trend has started to show-up in the gaming community which is affecting everyone… in-app purchases! Games, mostly the ones on mobile platforms such as Android, iOS and Windows Phone these days come disguised as “free” while in fact they are nightmare-impossible to finish without any real money investment in the game. The problem is that this type of games have started... 

Sailors move an X-47B demonstrator onto an aircraft elevator aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush. The Pentagon has unveiled its “roadmap” for future generation of unmanned vehicles, offering a glimpse into more sophisticated and lethal drones over the next 25 years. The Unmanned Systems Integrated Roadmap, released last week, marks out several milestones which will see the US armed... 

The US Air Force is testing a large, top secret drone at Area 51, which outdoes the currently used unmanned aircrafts in terms of stealth and aerodynamic efficiency, US media report. The new superior drone is scheduled to enter production and may be operational for the US Air Force as early as 2015, an exclusive report by Aviation Week magazine said. According to unnamed defense and intelligence officials,... 

Hundreds of thousands of people could soon get off the transplant waiting list as French doctors are celebrating the installation of a revolutionary artificial heart into a 75-year-old patient, paving the way for long-lasting robotic substitutes. The heart, which spent 25 years in the making and was produced by the French company Carmat, is somewhat of a technological marvel. The key differences with... 

American scientists have developed a robotic muscle 1,000 times more powerful than a human’s – using a revolutionary material that fluidly changes its properties. The invention gives vanadium dioxide amazing, superhero-style powers. Its most striking property is to change shape and structure whenever differing amounts of heat are applied to it. This made it perfectly suited for creating a torsional... 

A step towards making 3D printing affordable has been made at Michigan Technological University, which presented an open-source 3D metal printer for only $1,500. Detailed plans and software are all open-source and freely available, too. So far affordable 3D printing has been more about using polymers. Yet we all know that the ‘real thing’ must be made of metal. But the price of 3D metal printers... 

NASA scientists have been secretly at work for a year on a walking, humanoid-like robot meant to evoke awe in anyone who comes across it and it looks like they’ve accomplished their mission. Researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas have released video footage of what they’re entering in a Pentagon-sponsored robotics contest later this month, and the evidence is... 

Now that the mystery surrounding the elusive Google barges in the San Francisco Bay reported last month has been brought to light, the Silicon Valley giant is announcing another new endeavor: robots. Yes, robots. Speaking to the New York Times for an article published this week, Google exec and former Android CEO Andy Rubin revealed that the search engine company’s next big project is predictably... 

Russia has presented a new humanlike robot, which may be delivered to the International Space Station to perform 90 percent of risky operations in open space instead of cosmonauts. The SAR- 401 prototype was revealed to journalists at the Yury Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Moscow Region’s Star City on Wednesday. The robot was developed in 2013 and is currently being tested terrestrially,... 

LG Optimus 3D Max P720 is one of the few 3D stereoscopic smartphones out on the market and even though it was launched more than an year ago, back in May 2012, it’s still the best 3D stereoscopic phone up to date so we’ve decided to give it a review. Even though Optimus 3D Max is not LG’s first phone 3D phone and it’s actually an upgrade to 2011’s LG Optimus 3D P920,... 

After a long court hearing over allegations Samsung violated Apple patents, a US jury has awarded the US tech giant $290 million. This brings the total Apple patent fines against Samsung to $929 million. The South Korean manufacturer intends to appeal. The sum was lower than the initial $379.8 million asked by Apple’s advocates. The federal court of San Jose, California requires the South Korean... 

Blackout Britain – it’s only just the beginning. BASF, the world’s largest chemical company, has been headquartered in Germany since before the country formally existed. Founded in 1865 by the industrial pioneer Friedrich Engelhorn, it still occupies the vast site on the banks of the Rhine at Ludwigshafen where its first dye and soda factories were built. A third of its staff are employed... 

Iran unveiled its largest indigenous strategic drone dubbed Fotros (shown in the picture) on November 18, 2013. Iran has unveiled its biggest domestically developed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which can be used for reconnaissance and combat operations. The remote-controlled aircraft, dubbed Fotros, was put on display at the headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces Aviation Industries Organization...
