- 3D-Stacked CMOS Takes Moore’s Law to New HeightsPerhaps the most far-reaching technological achievement over the last 50 years has been the steady march toward ever smaller transistors, fitting them more tightly together, and reducing their power consumption. And yet, ever since the two of us started our careers at Intel more than 20 years ago, we’ve been hearing the alarms that the descent into the infin […]
- The Spectacular Collapse of CryptoKitties, the First Big Blockchain GameOn 4 September 2018, someone known only as Rabono bought an angry cartoon cat named Dragon for 600 ether—an amount of Ethereum cryptocurrency worth about US $170,000 at the time, or $745,000 at the cryptocurrency’s value in July 2022. It was by far the highest transaction yet for a nonfungible token (NFT), the then-new concept of a unique digital asset. And […]

The device consists of a pulse generator, one or more insulated wires, and an electrode at the end of each wire.The pulse generator—a metal case that contains electronic circuitry with a small computer and a battery—regulates the impulses sent […]
- iRobot CEO Colin Angle on Data Privacy and Robots in the HomeEditor’s note: Last week, Amazon announced that it was acquiring iRobot for $1.7 billion, prompting questions about how iRobot’s camera-equipped robot vacuums will protect the data that they collect about your home. In September of 2017, we spoke with iRobot CEO Colin Angle about iRobot’s approach to data privacy, directly addressing many similar concerns. “ […]
- New EV Prototype Leaves Range Anxiety in the DustNot long ago, a 300-mile range seemed like a healthy target for electric cars. More recently, the 520-mile (837-kilometer) Lucid Air became the world’s longest-range EV. But that record may not stand for long.The Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX, and its showroom-bound tech, looks to banish range anxiety for good: In April, the sleek prototype sedan completed a 621 […]
- Amazon to Acquire iRobot For $1.7 BillionThis morning, Amazon and iRobot announced “a definitive merger agreement under which Amazon will acquire iRobot” for US $1.7 billion. The announcement was a surprise, to put it mildly, and we’ve barely had a chance to digest the news. But taking a look at what’s already known can still yield initial (if incomplete) answers as to why Amazon and iRobot want to […]
