The US bombing
Qualcomm, which purchased microcontroller board manufacturer Arduino last year, just announced a new single-board computer that marries AI with robotics. Called the Arduino Ventuno Q, it uses Qualcomm’s Dragonwing IQ8 processor along with a dedicated STM32H5 low-latency microcontroller (MCU). “Ventuno Q is engineered specifically for systems that move, manipulate and respond to the physical world
A big NASA satellite will crash back to Earth on Tuesday (March 10) after nearly 14 years in orbit, experts say. The spacecraft in question is the 1,323-pound (600-kilogram) Van Allen Probe A, which launched in August 2012 along with its twin, Van Allen Probe B, to study the radiation belts around Earth for which
There’s no bringing this one back to life. “The Bride!,” Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s “Bride of Frankenstein” riff from Warner Bros. Pictures, bombed this weekend at the box office, bringing in just $7.3 million domestic and $13.6 million worldwide against a reported $80 million production budget. For Warner Bros., it ends a streak of nine straight movies
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved eight pilot programs that will allow a handful of companies, including Archer Aviation, Beta Technologies, Joby Aviation, and Wisk to start widespread electric aircraft testing as early as this summer. The three-year program, which will span 26 states, is designed to ensure U.S. companies lead the way in next-gen
