From a science-fiction dream to a critical part of our everyday lives, artificial intelligence is everywhere. You probably don't see AI at work, and that's by design. AI is changing everything. But do we want it to?

Elon Musk's Falcon Heavy flight was only the beginning: The real mission: the BFR project, now called the Starship, which aims to establish a colony on Mars. Here's everything you need to know including the expected test flight time frame.

Rolls-Royce wants to create self-sailing ships. It said it recently conducted "the world's first remote and autonomous ferry voyage" as part of tests carried out in Finland. Using its Ship Intelligence technology, the company believes it can one day "transform shipping as we know it.”

It's an Apple product launch unlike any you've ever seen. That's because it's the work of Bad Lip Reading, who "likes to put words into other people's mouths" and has done so here in a most brilliant way. Check out all of the crazy products, among them the Apple Skin Twist and the Lickamaforbus.

Researchers from the University of Washington and Facebook have created an AR tool which can animate stationary characters in 2D images, resulting in them literally walking off their flat backdrop. Because who has time for boring old still images as we reach the final days of 2018?

Researchers from the California Institute of Technology have used nanotechnology bioengineering to create the world's tiniest ever version of the game tic-tac-toe. This is why that's so exciting -- and what it suggests about the future of self-repairing nanotech machines.

Is this one of the year's weirdest gadgets? This electrical engineer recently built a robot that will help you learn to play the guitar better. Unfortunately, it does this by zapping you with a taser whenever you play the wrong note. Check out a video demo of it in action.

End-of-year parties can be a real headache for those in charge of public places, with at least a few inebriated revelers guaranteed to throw up as they make their way home. Just as well, then, that a Japanese cleaning company has created the "vomit vacuum" to deal with such unfortunate accidents.

Bugatti turned to 3D-printing to make stronger, lighter brake calipers out of titanium. The 3D-printed caliper is still at the prototype stage, and it's being torture-tested ahead of its official release. It can withstand rotor temperatures of nearly 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit without warping or melting.

The European Space Agency's Mars Express mission has captured new images of a huge crater on the surface of Mars, measuring over 50 miles across and located in the northern lowlands. Although it might look like the crater is full of snow, it is actually full of water ice.

Another update from the surface of Mars, as NASA's InSight lander has successfully deployed its first instrument onto the planet's surface. This week the lander placed its copper-colored seismometer onto the ground in front of it from where it can gather data about vibrations deep within the planet.

Researchers have developed a houseplant that can clean the air in your home. By genetically modifying a common houseplant, pothos ivy, to absorb chloroform and benzene, they created a plant that can "eat" these potentially dangerous compounds and use them to fuel their own growth.

This Christmas, an unusual visitor will be swinging through our Solar System: an asteroid shaped like a hippo. The 2003 SD220 asteroid will pass close to Earth this weekend, coming as close as 1.8 million miles from our planet. This events marks the asteroid's closest approach in more than 400 years.

A charity recently partnered with autonomous delivery robot company Starship Technologies to test the impact autonomous technologies are likely to have on guide dogs when they encounter them. The results? They get on just fine. That's great news for robot delivery services.

Nothing says it’s nearly Christmas' quite like a 3D-printed robot hand busting out a festive classic on the piano. That's what researchers at the U.K.'s University of Cambridge recently developed. And while it's a fun bit of holiday good cheer, it's also important research.

IBM has developed a fingernail sensor prototype, designed to measure your grip strength throughout the day. By analyzing this data using machine learning algorithms, changes can be monitored over time and potentially used to alert clinicians of possible health concerns.

A 1-month-old baby on a remote island in the South Pacific country of Vanuatu recently became the first person to receive a vaccine delivered by a commercial drone. The drone was flown across 40 kilometers of rugged mountains, which would otherwise have taken hours to cross.

Robots, A.I. algorithms, and drone deliveries are increasingly found in just about every industry and profession, Why not the medical world, too? Here are 2018's most significant landmark events where cutting-edge technology met medicine -- for better or, in one case, for worse.

Researchers from the U.K, and Spain have found a way to levitate up to 25 different objects using sound. One day these 'acoustic tweezers' could create three-dimensional pixel displays in mid-air or let a surgeon stitch up internal injuries without physically touching a patient.

The U.S. military wants to use water-based microorganisms to detect enemy submarines, underwater drones, and divers. Think of it like a living proximity sensor and you won’t be too far off course. Here's how it could work -- and why genetic tools could be the future of military tech.

Kia collaborated with the MIT Media Lab on a system that can recognize human emotions using artificial intelligence. The automaker believes this tech will be a valuable addition to self-driving cars. Kia will demonstrate the system, called READ, at CES 2019 in a mockup car interior.

There was major disruption at Gatwick Airport in the U.K. on Wednesday night, and going into Thursday morning, as two drones forced it to suspend and divert all flights for at least 11 hours. The incident began at 9 p.m. local time following "multiple sightings" of at least two drones near the airfield.

Check out these cool-looking autonomous delivery pods that are now trundling along the streets of Scottsdale, Arizona. Created by technology firm Nuro, the unmanned pods are part of an app-based service delivering groceries to local customers on behalf of supermarket giant Kroger.

Severe epilepsy is very difficult to treat, but an experimental approach involving implanted stem cells in the brain represents a groundbreaking way to potentially stop seizures for good. So far, it has been demonstrated in rats, but treatment for humans isn't out of the question.

Created by Hong Kong-based company Robugtix, this oddball Z6 spider robot could one day be used for search and rescue missions or exploration on the surface of other planets. For now, though, you’ll have to settle for watching it perform in a 1980s-style aerobics music video.

Almost exactly two years to the day since Elon Musk announced his tunnel-constructing Boring Company, the company has unveiled its first stretch of high-speed tunnel in Hawthorne, California. The 1.14-mile tunnel was used to transport a modified Tesla Model X SUV at 50 miles per hour.

It won't do the housework or cut the grass, but it might make you happy. We're talking about Lovot, a new companion robot out of Japan. It's been designed by Tokyo-based Groove X, whose CEO Kaname Hayashi worked extensively on SoftBank's Pepper robot before he left to set up his own company.

Wind turbines are a great source of renewable energy. However, these giants sets of spinning blades also happen to have a bat-murdering problem that would put the Dark Knight’s rogues gallery of villains to shame. Fortunately, echolocation-blocking technology may be able to help.

CubeSats are versatile miniature satellite made up of multiple 10×10×10-cm, cube-shaped units. As exciting as they are, however, they have a problem: Their size stops them easily feeding back the video and images they take to Earth. A new approach pioneered by MIT could help.

It doesn’t matter if you do it slowly and carefully or rip it off in one go, pulling off Band-Aids still really, really sucks. But that could be about to change, however -- thanks to a new type of adhesive that can be easily detached using a specific frequency of UV light.

Just how good is A.I. getting at re-creating a portrait? Take a look at these images and see if you can spot any clues that they were, in fact, computer generated. Nvidia researchers recently published a paper on a new variation on style transfer that's able to generate entirely new portraits.

From Disney World to the Mall of America, public venues are turning out to be microcosms for smart city projects. Cities and towns looking to up their infrastructure game can extrapolate from the experience of major sports stadiums, for example, as demonstrations of what happens when you offer free Wi-Fi to 70,000 people. And metropolitan areas can learn from shopping hubs that have installed Bluetooth to pinpoint consumers.

The kind of project that Vin Diesel might suggest as a computer science project, Georgia Tech's AutoRally initiative pushes self-driving cars to their limits by getting scaled-down autonomous vehicles to drive really, really fast and aggressively on dirt roads. Here's why.
