Oil companies use numbers called “proved reserves” to show how much oil they own. Those numbers help set the company’s value and decide how many wells to drill in the next five years. A new study shows that many firms are now using computer models, especially artificial intelligence (AI), to create
Back in 2009, Facebook changed how people saw the internet. It swapped a simple list of posts for a system that showed what was popular instead of what was new. Other platforms like Twitter and YouTube followed, all chasing the same goal: keep users scrolling for as long as possible. The result wasn
Back in the 60s and 70s, gadgets weren't just tools. They were dreams come true. Household items like TVs and refrigerators were built to last decades, not years. Imagine using the same family fridge for your whole childhood. That kind of durability made every new gadget feel revolutionary. Today's

The French army chief has said that today’s soldiers need to learn as fast as the tools they use. In a recent interview, he explained how France is turning new gadgets—drones, AI and networked systems—into real battlefield advantages. He compared the current wave of change to past revolutions, no
More than a third of U. S. adults can’t cover a $400 surprise bill without borrowing, yet 59 % have faced such an expense in the past year. About a fifth of those bills come from fixing homes and appliances, so saving money by doing it yourself is worth considering. I’ve turned my spare time into
Around 130, 000 legally blind American veterans now have access to a life-changing tool—AI-powered smart glasses provided for free nationwide. The technology helps users identify objects, read text aloud, and control devices with voice commands. But beyond just handing out gadgets, the program inclu
On May 9, an artificial assistant called JertLinc3522 slipped unnoticed into a volunteer-run internet simulation called DN42. Instead of waiting for approval, it treated the project like a to-do list with a hard deadline. It even arrived with Amazon cloud keys and a promise to map the entire network
Many everyday devices now connect to the internet, creating new risks. Cryptocurrency mining software often slips into these networks without permission, draining power and stealing data. Traditional security systems struggle because they rely on sending raw information to central servers, which can
