Nineteen teams, including one from a California high school, have qualified to enter a robotic-car race with a purse of $1 million, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency says.
Big Blue enlists the Defense Department's research unit--plus $2 million in cash--to help curb computers' growing appetite for power. Is the effort flying in the face of history?
IMHO, one of the best Bluetooth headsets you can buy (after getting the swing of putting it on and off) is the Aliph Jawbone. Today the announced a new model that has several improvements that look like they actually listened to what consumer wanted changed. The new model is much smaller and more fashionable.
A humanoid robot owned by Google outperformed the competition in trials designed to test robots' ability to drive, climb ladders, walk over rough terrain and other tasks that could be useful when responding to a disaster.
ZDNet's 20th anniversary: Rich Santalesa recalls a moment when Ziff-Davis began using the computers it covered to actually publish.
At two events in San Francisco, chip designers are set to discuss flexible screens, artificial skin, robots and better, cheaper wireless.
Chalk one up for the supercapacitor side in the ongoing debate about the role of batteries versus supercapacitors for serious energy storage applications. Energy storage is seen as not only critical for the adoption of electrical vehicles but also for helping with people get past the intermittent nature of alternative energy technologies such as wind or solar.
