Technological Advancements

Sony launched the PlayStation 5 Pro, an upgraded version of its popular home console, in select markets Thursday. The PS5 Pro, announced in September, comes with an upgraded GPU, advanced ray-tracing features, AI upscaling technology for better image quality and 2TB SSD storage.

Scientists are exploring the possibility of a hidden ninth planet in our solar system. The planet, dubbed Planet Nine, is believed to exist beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt. Researchers have noticed unusual gravitational effects on distant objects in this region, which may be influenced by the presence of a large, unseen planet. While it has not b...

Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest automotive manufacturer, is partnering with Qualcomm for the use of the new Snapdragon Elite automotive chips in its fleet of future vehicles, according to a report. It is speculated that Snapdragon’s new automotive chips could power a host of advanced safety systems, connected car technologies and other technolog...

Apple recently unveiled its new MacBook Pro lineup with M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chipsets. The latest M4 Pro and M4 Max chips built using advanced 3-nanometre technology have made their way to Geekbench with impressive results. The Geekbench performance scores of both M4 Pro and M4 Max outperform Apple’s M3 Pro and M3 Max. The Apple M4 Pro appears ...

Scientists at MIT have developed groundbreaking cell-wearable devices that mimic natural myelin to treat neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis. These micro-scale devices wrap around neurons and restore disrupted electrical signalling. They are battery-free and activated by light, allowing for non-invasive monitoring and modulation of neuro...

Researchers at RMIT University have developed a satellite tool that can detect plastic waste on beaches from over 600 km above the Earth. This innovative technology uses variations in light reflection to identify plastic debris, offering a new approach to tackle the growing issue of plastic pollution. With millions of tonnes of plastic entering oc...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, a joint mission by NASA and France’s CNES, has observed a significant tsunami event in Greenland’s Dickson Fjord. Triggered by a massive rockslide in September 2023, the tsunami lasted for nine days and generated seismic signals recorded globally. The satellite's advanced radar technology...

In a groundbreaking observation, scientists have recorded the largest marine predation event ever documented, offering unprecedented insights into ocean ecosystem dynamics. Using advanced sonar technology, researchers tracked interactions between capelin, a small forage fish, and their primary predator, cod, as part of a massive, coordinated predat...

Binance is hosting its annual blockchain conference in Dubai this week. HE Khalfan Belhoul, the CEO of the Dubai Future Foundation, joined Binance CEO Richard Teng on the stage on Wednesday to talk about an array of topics, including regulatory advancements, stablecoins, asset tokenisation and the potential use cases of blockchain and Web3 technolo...

The MIT-led AXIS mission, a finalist in NASA's Probe Explorers competition, is set to investigate the origins of black holes and the universe's high-energy events. Featuring advanced X-ray technology, AXIS will push cosmic boundaries in search of answers to some of astrophysics' most profound questions. If approved, the $1 billion mission will revo...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has unveiled remarkable footage from the new Compact Coronagraph (CCOR-1), which is aboard the GOES-19 satellite. This advanced telescope captures charged particles and solar eruptions from the Sun’s corona, vital for monitoring solar activity as it approaches its peak in 2025. By blockin...

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have successfully identified the 3D structure of an artificial light-harvesting complex II (LHCII). This structure mimics the natural LHCII found in plants and plays a critical role in photosynthesis. Using in vitro reconstitution and cryo-electron microscopy, the team demonstrated that the artificial co...

Mercedes-AMG C 63 S claims to deliver impressive performance from a compact 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, thanks to advanced F1 technology

The C-295 is a transport aircraft of 5-10 tonne capacity with contemporary technology that will replace the Indian Air Force's ageing Avro-748 planes.

On September 22, 2024, China’s High Magnetic Field Laboratory set a world record by creating a 42-tesla resistive magnet, surpassing the previous 41.4-tesla mark established by the US in 2017. This breakthrough, resulting from nearly four years of research, enhances the capabilities of high-field magnets used in scientific exploration, positionin...
