Wearable gadgets like fitness bands and smartwatches are everywhere now. People strap them on to count steps, track sleep, or record heartbeats. But do these devices actually push users to live healthier lives? The answer isn’t as clear-cut as ads suggest. Researchers looked at real-world data from
The French Open keeps its old‑school judges while tech fans push for change. A former Wimbledon semi‑finalist, Tim Henman, said he likes the tradition but still wants electronic line calling (ELC). He also noted that on clay, the ball mark can be confusing. The tournament’s president says t
Long before computers existed, people tried to explain the human brain by comparing it to everyday objects. First came clocks, then steam engines, and later, machines. This way of thinking stuck around even as technology advanced. Now, some in the tech world have started calling humans “meat compute
Beverlie Frazier didn’t plan to become the face of New Mexico’s tech scene, but life had other plans. After losing her sales job in a company merger, she was told to create her own opportunity—leading a multimedia project that highlighted the state’s economic trailblazers. Now, she’s stepping into a
Ever used an app to erase a person from a photo in seconds? That’s generative AI in action, trained on endless images to mimic human editing skills at lightning speed. It’s not magic—just math doing what humans would take hours to finish. Facial recognition on phones uses biometrics to unlock devic
Last year, a team of students at a New Jersey college rebuilt a 1994 crime scene in 3D. The project uncovered flaws that freed two men after 37 years behind bars. They proved how modern tech can correct old errors. Yet every breakthrough comes with risks. Unchecked tools, like face-matching software
Keeping tabs on your health shouldn’t feel like a chore, yet many people overlook something as important as blood pressure. While smartwatches track steps and sleep, measuring blood pressure has been missing from most mobile health tools—until now. A device like the iHealth Track changes that by off
A biotech team recently announced they hatched live chicks using a 3D-printed shell instead of a natural one. The experiment used fertilized eggs placed into this artificial structure, which was designed to control oxygen flow like a real eggshell. While this sounds impressive, critics argue it’s ju
A week in science brought a mix of bold claims and careful rethinking. A company working on reviving extinct species announced it successfully hatched chicken chicks using lab-made eggshells, a small step toward their bigger goals. Meanwhile, scientists launched a space mission to study Earth’s magn
The brain sends out tiny electrical signals that travel through different body parts before reaching the skin’s surface. These signals don’t move in a straight line—they get mixed up, slowed down, or even hidden by muscles, fat, and other tissues. That’s why tools like EEG headsets or EMG armbands d
