Google's new AI model, Gemini 3 Pro, has made a big splash. It's being called the best in the AI world right now. But how does it really stack up against other top models like ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude? First, let's talk about benchmarks. These are like tests that measure how well AI models perform. Google says Gemini 3 Pro is now number one in many of these tests. ...
Scientists have made a big step forward in tracking monarch butterflies. They are now able to follow individual butterflies on their long journeys from places like Ontario to Mexico. This is possible thanks to tiny, solar-powered radio tags that weigh just 60 milligrams. These tags are attached to the butterflies, which usually weigh between 500 and 600 milligrams. T...
The Great Lakes have seen big changes in shipping safety since the Edmund Fitzgerald disaster in 1975. Back then, ships relied on basic weather reports and simple navigation tools. Today, technology has made sailing much safer. Modern ships have access to real-time weather data, advanced mapping, and systems that track their exact location at all times. In the 1970s...
The excitement around artificial intelligence has sparked a renewed interest in self-driving technology. Three CEOs at the forefront of this innovation—Don Burnette from Kodiak, Dave Ferguson from Nuro, and Raquel Urtasun from Waabi—share their insights. Kodiak, led by Burnette, is already using eight driverless trucks in the Permian Basin. These trucks transport sa...

The forklift industry in North America is booming. It was worth 12. 4 billion dollars in 2024 and is expected to double by 2034. This growth is driven by the rise of e-commerce and the need for faster, safer, and more efficient warehouse operations. Many companies in this industry work together to improve technology and safety standards. They are using advanced sens...
Machines are now able to solve complex problems without constant human guidance. This is a significant shift from the past when computers relied heavily on human input to learn. Now, they can learn independently, much like how children learn through exploration and trial and error. These advanced machines, known as large language models, are developing reasoning ski...
The U. S. oil industry is seeing a shift. Offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico is stepping into the spotlight. This change comes as onshore production slows down. Lower oil prices and aging shale fields are making it harder for onshore to keep up. New technology is making offshore drilling more attractive. It allows for drilling in high-pressure areas. This was n...
Sci-fi writers often come up with ideas that sound far-fetched. Yet, many of these ideas have become real technologies. For example, Arthur C. Clarke suggested satellites that could stay in one spot above Earth. This idea seemed crazy in 1945. But decades later, it became a reality. Today, we call this the Clarke Belt. Sci-fi writers don't predict the future. They c...
Google has rolled out Imagen 4, the latest in its line of text-to-image models. This new version claims to be a significant upgrade over its predecessor, Imagen 3. For those willing to spend more, there's also Imagen 4 Ultra, which promises even more precise image generation based on text prompts. Both models are now available for testing, either through a paid previ...
