The race, which took place in April 2017 at the French National Centre for Scientific Research in Toulouse, was the first of its kind. “We incorporated positive charge receptors in the car,” said Saw-Wai Hla, who co-led the team that built the vehicle alongside Eric Masson. The lab only had four machines for propelling cars and there were six entrants, so the Ohio team drove it remotely. Unfortunately their truck got stuck about 43nm into the race, which was jointly won by Swiss team and a US-Au

According to Chinese phone repair company GeekBar, which posted to Weibo (a Chinese microblogging site), the iPhone 8 will come in 64GB, 256GB and 512GB sizes. Those are the same sizes as the iPad Pro 10.5 comes in, up from the 32GB, 128GB and 256GB selection available for the iPhone 7. If true, you’d be able to get an iPhone 8 with double the storage that any current Apple handset is available with. The iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus may well come with less storage.

If you didn’t know there was a world record for the most dancing robots in one place at one time, you do now. And the record’s just been smashed – 1,069 humanoid robots got together in Guangzhou, China to strut their stuff, breaking the old record by 62 droids. Whether it was the pressure of the occasion or the demands of the beat, a few of the ‘Dobi’ robots got overwhelmed and toppled over, so they were deducted from the final total. Sweet movesEverything was controlled via a single console to

From wired to wireless to true wirelessFirstly; how depressing must it be for those 4% of people who have no interest in buying wireless headphones and yet think that they’ll be the only kind around in the future?! But more importantly, this shift shows just how quickly wireless headphones have taken over. However, most of these wireless headphones still have cables connecting the two earbuds or ear-cups, while in the future it looks like even this small bit of cable looks set to disappear. Ther

Gamescom 2017 is open to the public August 23 to August 26, and the crowds are already piling in in their droves. Guests turning up on the first day without tickets were being told that there were no more day tickets available.

Over these next few pages we have put together a gallery of images from the floor so

According to a new tweet from trusted leaker Evan Blass, Google is looking at an October 5, 2017 launch date for its highly-anticipated second generation Pixel handset.

Google’s second-generation Pixel handsets, powered by Snapdragon 836 SoC’s, will be unveiled on October 5th.August 24, 2017Blass’ leak joins a number of other Google

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a big phone with an equally gigantic price, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. And really, is there a bigger phone than the Galaxy Note 8 right now if money were no object? These two cameras are better than oneWe liked the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus cameras, but those single-lens devices are so six months ago.

While Microsoft’s HoloLens headset is still a ways off from the consumer market, if ever, the computing giant looks like it’s keeping busy developing new ways to interact with augmented reality (AR). On August 22, Microsoft published a new patent describing a design for “an augmented reality input device” that looks like a cross between a motion controller and a pen, as spotted by Twitter user @h0x0d.

The smart speaker market is about to get one more contender as Samsung has confirmed it’s working on a device to rival Amazon Echo, Google Home, and the upcoming Apple HomePod. DJ Koh, president of Samsung’s mobile division, said in an interview with CNBC that the company behind the Samsung Galaxy S8 and newly announced Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is currently working on its own smart speaker.

For starters, the Windows 10 S installer is only available to Windows Insiders, though, it’s a relatively quick opt-n process. The bigger hurdle is to have a PC running Windows 10 Pro or the Enterprise edition. If you’re running regular old Windows 10 Home, then you’re out of luck. The Insider release of Windows 10 S came along with a Windows Blog post noting this version of its OS would be “ideal for people who have everything they need in the Windows Store and prefer the peace of mind of secur

One of the advantages enjoyed by modern gaming consoles is cross-platform play — the ability for multiplayer games to intermingle players across multiple consoles. Select games like Minecraft and Rocket League have jumped on the cross-platform train for PC, Xbox One and even the Nintendo Switch, but one company has been reluctant about go all-in — though maybe not for much longer.

Cuphead captured our attention and imaginations when it was debuted at Microsoft’s E3 conference in 2014. The platform levels feel far more hurried and fast paced and you don’t necessarily have to kill every enemy that appears – considering they’re infinite that’d be one hell of an ask. Having both of these kinds of levels is great for the game’s pacing and sense of variety. The boss levels in particular benefit from having a friend involved as long as you’re able to coordinate well with them an
