Elon Musk has a new project in the offingand, no, it doesn't involve Mars. This one is more prosaic, not to say more immediately realizable: it's nothing less than to create a fully self-contained \"energy ecosystem.\" It'll mean each man's home is not just his castle, but is also his self-sufficient, sustainable power-generation plant. <\/p>\n
In October of this year, the White House released a report titled \"Preparing For the Future of Artificial Intelligence.\" It's a significant acknowledgement, from the highest organs of government, that AI is now a major part of our current and future lives. In this infographic, we've summarized the White House report's key findings. <\/p>\n
Computers that connect to the human brain could bring an end to Alzheimer's. They could allow us to possess superhuman levels of memory and intelligence. They could change everythingand Bryan Johnson's Kernel is making it happen. <\/p>\n
They represent some of the most technologically sophisticated machines ever devised by humankind: reusable space planes. The U.S. Space Shuttle is undoubtedly the most famous example of this type of vehicle, but what else has been done in this direction? Here's a look at space planes past and future. <\/p>\n
As our technology has evolved, so has the way we interact with itand nothing exemplifies this more than the dream of a seamless brain-computer interface (BCI). Forget clunky keyboards and touchscreens: BCI is all about directly uniting humanity with the tools it creates. Here's a look at the history and methods of BCI technology. <\/p>\n
Machines are now able to learn and evolve without human intervention. So, how does it work exactly? And what does it mean for the future of humanity? Here's a quick lesson on the basics of machine learning. <\/p>\n
Thanks to New Horizons, we've completed the preliminary reconnaissance of the Solar System. Now it's time to send man across our cosmic neighborhood. Here's what that mission might look like in a few decades. <\/p>\n
Vehicle autonomy is the wave of the futurenot just for cars anymore, we're seeing automated technology in trains, buses, ships and even planes. The major transport, logistics and shipping companies are scrambling to develop operator-less technology just to stay relevant. Here's a look at what else is going driverless. <\/p>\n
Humans dreams bigand, better yet, we make those dreams a reality. It's enabled us to tame nature, build new nations, defeat disease, defy gravity and even reach the Moon. And we're not done yetnot by a long shot. From the quantum internet to terraforming Mars, here are some of mankind's most ambitious future moonshots. <\/p>\n
Visionary, polymath, scientist, artist, engineerLeonardo da Vinci was the quintessential \"Renaissance Man.\" Whether it was flying machines, diving suits, automatons or advanced weaponry, da Vinci envisioned the future and set about designing it. Here's a look at Leonardo da Vinci's most futuristic contraptions. <\/p>\n
There's a new aerospace technology on the horizonusing plasma, the superheated \"fourth state of matter,\" to enhance the aerodynamic performance of aircraft. Here, we break down the mechanics and the uses of this exciting new technology that has the aeronautics and aerospace industries all abuzz. <\/p>\n
On September 27, Elon Musk unveiled his most ambitious project yetcalled the Interplanetary Transport System (ITS), it's nothing less than his long-awaited plan for, not only putting humans on Mars, but colonizing the Red Planet as well. In this handy infographic, we've distilled the ITS architecture into seven easy steps. <\/p>\n
