The past few days have been rife with leaks showing off Google‘s upcoming Pixel Watch. We know exactly how the watch looks thanks to a Redditor sharing photos of the device in all its glory. We have yet to see any official news or teases — including an actual launch date — though a Google I/O announcement seems […]
Self-charging smartwatches and health trackers could be a step closer following the development of tiny mechanical devices powered by movement, a study suggests. The new mechanisms—which are twice as powerful as similar existing devices—could offer an energy-efficient and sustainable alternative to batteries used in wearable technologies, researchers say. Edinburgh engineers have developed a technique to […]
Tokyo’s Shibuya is famed for its Scramble Crossing, where crowds of people crisscross the intersection in a scene symbolizing urban Japan’s congestion and anonymity. It may have added another boasting right. Tokyu Railways’ trains running through Shibuya and other stations were switched to power generated only by solar and other renewable sources starting April 1. […]
A robot named Lyra has been used to inspect a ventilation duct in Dounreay’s redundant nuclear laboratories and map radioactive materials. Lyra traversed 140m of duct from a single entry point and provided operators with detailed radiological characterization information that can now be used to help plan safe and efficient decommissioning of the laboratories. Previously, […]
Between New York City’s fire department (FDNY) issuing a warning about e-bike batteries and a Florida bike shop going up in flames after a battery was left unattended on a charger overnight, it’s been a worrisome week for e-bike owners.

We’re now getting a look at what the leaked Pixel Watch looks like strapped to somebody’s wrist, courtesy of Reddit user tagtech414, who’s previously shared alleged images of Google’s as-yet-unannounced wearable (via 9to5Google). In the previous pictures, we could only see the little computer puck itself, not attached to a strap. While tagtech414 doesn’t seem […]
Sony has been one of the leaders in noise-cancelling headphones for a while now, and the company’s WH-1000XM4 headphones is still one of the best options for over-ear ANC headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones were just leaked, and images of the next Sony LinkBuds have appeared as well. The images for the WH-1000XM5 published by […]
Doctors and scientists have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can accurately predict how likely tumours are to grow back in cancer patients after they have undergone treatment. The breakthrough, described as “exciting” by clinical oncologists, could revolutionise the surveillance of patients. While treatment advances in recent years have boosted survival chances, there remains a […]
Stephen Mayfield, a molecular biology professor at UC San Diego, now has a stake in the business of footwear alongside partners Michael Burkart and Robert Pomeroy from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. After six years of research and experimentation, these professors are launching the world’s first biodegradable shoe through the company Blueview, of which […]
