If you’ve ever spent a weekend building something with a 3‑D printer, you know that the machine alone isn’t enough. A lot of the trouble people run into comes from missing tools and accessories that make printing smoother and more reliable. Below is a rundown of the most useful items you can grab on
Advanced Micro Devices is changing how it competes with Nvidia in the AI chip market. Instead of just selling hardware, AMD now offers customers a chance to own part of the company when they buy its chips. The latest example is Meta, which will purchase billions of dollars in AMD processors for new
A new study shows that gold films only a few nanometers thick can be turned into tiny mechanical sensors. These devices vibrate at very high frequencies, in the range of millions of cycles per second. When a laser shines on them, their vibration frequency shifts in a predictable way, allowing the se
Apple’s chief, Tim Cook, was one of a small group of tech leaders who got an inside look at the CIA’s fear that China might try to take Taiwan by 2027. The meeting, held in a secure room near Silicon Valley in July 2023, was set up because the U. S. commerce secretary at the time wanted the industry
The surge in data center construction across North America has pushed the industry beyond its long‑established hubs. A new study shows that about two‑thirds of the 35 gigawatts of planned capacity lies outside traditional strongholds such as Virginia, which has long dominated the market. Texas is po
A recent story warned that smart machines could break the economy. It says AI can do everything people used to pay for, from coding to food delivery. If businesses stop needing human workers, the money that feeds the economy dries up. First, software firms that rely on long contracts feel pre
Artificial‑intelligence helpers are useful for quick answers, from picking software to diagnosing aches. Yet a new form of cyber trickery can sway those same tools toward biased suggestions. Researchers at Microsoft Security discovered that when users click a “summarize with AI” button on certain s
Ukraine is now using a tiny laser weapon that can shoot down drones from the sky. The device, called Sunray, looks like a small telescope with cameras on its sides to spot and follow targets. Soldiers can put it in the back of a pickup truck, making it easy to move around front‑line towns and milita
The idea began in 2016 when a twelve‑year‑old and his dad started tinkering with an Arduino kit, turning their love of puzzles into a small experiment. They built 3‑D printed models and by April 2017, they had officially named the company that would become Cubios. The project grew from simple curios
In the United States, tech nonprofits are a tiny fraction of all charities – only about 557 compared to almost two million traditional ones. This scarcity makes it hard for new social‑impact tech firms to grow, yet some do succeed by sticking to their nonprofit roots and focusing on real needs. The
