It's been a rough ride for webOS of recent times. But despite the OS continuing to survive, HP has decided to ditch a large chunk of it's development team.
Google is fond of reworking existing concepts in modern ways; you only need to look at HUD glasses and autonomous cars to know that. But at one point in time, it was also mulling the idea of revolutionising the economy by creating its own currency.
This is the second fossilised forest that has stunned researchers this month, and it's also the oldest. It's 385 million years old, from the time when the earth's first forests appeared. And it was all buried beneath a quarry in Upstate New York.
If you thought emperor penguins were big, this prehistoric cousin put them to shame. In its day it stood over four feet tall and was 50 per cent heavier than the already pretty massive emperor we know today.
Well, this is an exciting bit of news for green drivers. Envia Systems has come up with a new battery technology that could give a £20,000 electric car a range of 300 miles to a charge. Yes, please?
The Earth has a roughly 12 per cent chance of experiencing an enormous megaflare erupting from the sun in the next decade. This event could potentially cause trillions of pounds' worth of damage and take up to a decade to recover from.
If you can dimly remember the concept of refraction from school, you're doing better than most. Perhaps if you'd been taught using this video as an example, you'd have paid more attention.
I'm not sure if I should be more impressed that this Prince George's County criminal has successfully knocked over a string of banks without being caught or the fact that he had the balls to rob them while threatening to detonate a nuclear weapon.
The frozen crust of Enceladus, Saturn's sixth largest moon, may be hiding subsurface water and maybe even life. But scientists will first have to bore through the tundra to see what lies beneath and they may rely on the IceMole to do the digging.
The amount of friends you can make at an Oktoberfest celebration is directly proportionate to the number of pint glasses you can carry from the bar to your table. And with these clever stackable pint glasses, it's a lot.
Everyone knows exercise is good for you, and studies have previously shown that it can boost learning and even stave off dementia in later life — though nobody knew why. New research suggests, though, that it's because the brain takes advantage of energy delivery systems just as much as your muscles.
For as ubiquitous a word as "dude" is, etymologists don't actually know how or where it started. But that hasn't stopped them from suggesting a wide array of possibilities.
It turns out that T. rex's physical size might not have been the only thing we underestimated. A new study suggests that the king of apex predators may have also possessed the most powerful jaws in history.
It fires a 18kg metal slug up to 5,600 miles per hour from New York to Philadelphia, slamming into its target with 32 times the force of a "1-ton car being thrust at 100 mph." Railguns aren't sci-fi anymore.
