Huawei demonstrates resilience amid US-China tech tensions, projecting nearly $100 billion in sales for 2023.
Businesses and government agencies must scan code for RSA & old protocols, replacing them with post-quantum cryptography to thwart quantum threats to encryption.
The UK carrier said they had to ‘get creative’ to reach the islanders.
London-based carrier Openreach has deployed “world-first engineering” as part of its efforts to connect residents on a remote Scottish island.
The 323.6-meter-long ship is like a floating city.
China is set to make maritime history as the Adora Magic City, the nation’s first domestically built cruise ship, prepares for its maiden voyage from Shanghai on January 1.
Operated by CSSC Carnival Cruise Shipping, a joint venture between China State Shipbuilding Corp. and Carnival Corp. from the US, this 323.6-meter-long marvel is not just a cruise ship; it’s a floating city designed to offer a taste of home to Chinese travelers while venturing overseas.

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) ongoing Run 3 experiment has presented its initial findings about the elusive dark photons.
The Large Hadron Collider, located at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) near Geneva, Switzerland, is the world’s most powerful and biggest particle accelerator.
It is made up of a 27-kilometer ring of superconducting magnets and accelerating structures that accelerate protons and other heavy particles to near-light speeds. The LHC is meant to smash these particles, allowing scientists to investigate the fundamental features of matter as well as the forces that govern the universe.
The LHC’s Run 3 experiment began in July of last year.

The legendary former curator of the Museum of Modern Art, once described photography as “the act of pointing.” And for the nearly 200 years since its inception, photography has consisted of capturing a visual perspective from the physical world using light — first with…
A.I. generators can produce photorealistic images, which is either an extinction-level event for photographers or a fantastic opportunity. Or both.
Explore the features of Unitree’s B2, the fastest and most versatile industrial quadruped robot in the market, designed to enhance efficiency across various industries.
This upgrade from its predecessor, the B1, introduces remarkable improvements across speed, load capacity, endurance, and adaptability.
Officially, there are only two exascale supercomputers in the world: Frontier at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee and Aurora at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. However, it is widely suspected that China has at least two secret exascale machines that have not been tested and ranked by the industry’s 500 list of the most powerful supercomputers in the world.
JUPITER, which stands for Joint Undertaking Pioneer for Innovative and Transformative Exascale Research, will be built at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany by the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), a collaboration between the European Union and private businesses.
The launch was delayed twice this month due to weather and technical issues.
SpaceX did not show any footage of the X-37B separating from the rocket’s second stage, as the mission was shrouded in secrecy. The X-37B, which looks like a miniature version of the space shuttle, is an autonomous reusable vehicle that can stay in orbit for years, performing various experiments and maneuvers. It is operated by the Air Force in partnership with the Space Force and built by Boeing. There are two X-37B spacecraft in the fleet, and they have flown six missions since 2010.

The X-37B had previously been launched on United Launch Alliance’s Atlas 5 rocket five times and on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket once. SpaceX won a $130 million contract in June 2018 to launch the OTV-7 mission on the Falcon Heavy, which can deliver heavier and larger payloads to higher orbits than the other rockets.
The robot is being developed to offer an helping hand to astronauts, designed to operate in hostile and hazardous conditions in space.
NASA’s first bipedal humanoid robot, Valkyrie, is undergoing a few of its final testing phases at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
A humanoid, much like Iron Man but constructed from metal and electronics, mimics human walking and appearance. Designed for a diverse array of functions, NASA is exploring if such machines can further space exploration, starting with the Artemis mission, according to Reuters.
Valkyrie, named after a prominent female figure in Norse mythology, commands attention with her formidable presence. Standing at 6 feet 2 inches (188 centimeters) and weighing 300 pounds (136 kilograms), NASA is an electric humanoid robot capable of operating in degraded or damaged human-engineered environments.
