“For us, the AI Pin is just the beginning,” Chaudhri said at the launch event.
The AI Pin runs on a quad-core Snapdragon processor with a dedicated Qualcomm AI Engine powering its Humane OS software. It comes in three color options, two of which cost an extra $100. The device uses T-Mobile’s network as an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) to provide cellular data to the users.
The more carbon dioxide converted, the better it is for the world.
Researchers test efficient homogeneous electrocatalysts for CO2 conversion, potentially transforming it into valuable resources industrially.
Astronomers, prepare to be awed by the best views of the cosmos in 2028.
The ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope progresses as 18 mirror segments make their way to Chile, after being polished by Safran Reosc.
Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 in 2025.
Experts warn that Microsoft’s planned Windows 10 support termination in 2025 could generate 320,000 cars worth of e-waste.
HughesNet’s move to offer 100 Mbps speeds brings it closer to its industry rival, SpaceX’s Starlink, which ranges between 25 to 220 Mbps.
HughesNet’s Jupiter 3 satellite, although geostationary and considerably farther away, rivals Starlink with its size and capacity. The ultra-high-density satellite operates in Ka-band frequencies with 300 spot beams, efficiently allocating and directing signals for better coverage.
Hughes, a pioneer in satellite-delivered internet service since the 1990s, continues to earn recognition.

Researchers have now identified the first signs of nuclear fission in the cosmos, something that has baffled scientists since the 1950s.
Scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory and North Carolina State University have uncovered compelling evidence of nuclear fission occurring in the cosmos, specifically during the merger of neutron stars. This discovery challenges long-held beliefs and opens a new chapter in our understanding of heavy element formation in the universe.
Nuclear fusion is the process by which two atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing significant amounts of energy. This process plays a crucial role in generating the energy that sustains a star’s luminosity.
With 2.9 GW capacity, the massive Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm strengthens the UK’s clean energy objectives.
Dive into Ørsted’s groundbreaking Hornsea 3 project in the UK, set to power millions of homes and reshape the future of renewable energy in the region.
The robot features eight adjustable water jets in its central and head regions, with a flexible firehose directed by a control unit on a trailing wheeled cart.
Functioning at a rate of 6.6 liters per second, the nozzles expel water with a pressure reaching up to one megapascal. At the tip of the hose, a combination of a traditional camera and a thermal imaging camera is integrated, facilitating the identification and location of the fire. This technological integration enhances the Dragon Firefighter’s firefighting capabilities, according to the team.
Learning process
The inaugural testing of the system took place during the opening ceremony of the World Robot Summit 2020 (WRS2020), held in September 2021 in Fukushima. Dragon Firefighter “successfully extinguished [49 min 0 s to 51 min 0 s] the ceremonial flame, consisting of fireballs lit by another robot, at a distance of four meters,” said a statement.
