Why Cartken pivoted its focus from last-mile delivery to industrial robots

Autonomous robotics startup Cartken, known for its four-wheeled robots that deliver food on college campuses and through Tokyo’s bustling streets, has found a new area of focus: industrials. Cartken co-founder and CEO Christian Bersch told TechCrunch that applying its delivery robots to industrial settings was always in the back of his mind as they built the startup. When companies started reaching out about using their robots in factories and labs, Cartken took a closer look. “What we found i

Chinese Scientists Invent System for Extracting Oxygen, Water and Rocket Fuel From Moon Dust

Chinese researchers say they've devised a new way to extract water from lunar soil and convert it into fuel. As detailed in a new paper published today in the journal Joule, the team found that their proposed "photothermal strategy" — essentially converting light into heat — could effectively convert carbon dioxide from extracted water into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and oxygen gas, a "potential route for sustaining human life on the Moon and enabling long-term extraterrestrial exploration." "

This Bonkers 100 MPH E-Scooter Is a Ludicrous Safety Hazard

Designed by former F1 engineers. Pure danger. Turbo Mode A company made up of former F1 racing engineers has unveiled an outrageous e-scooter that can reach a top speed of north of 100 miles per hour — and covers a whopping 150 miles on a single charge. The bizarre contraption, dubbed The Turbo, was developed by UK-based e-scooter company Bo, whose existing lineup targets the more premium end of the last-mile — or last 150 miles, in this case — mobility market. The Turbo's specs are borderli

Scientists Find Evidence of Grim Long-Term Effects of Fad Diets

Image by Getty Images Studies The way Westerners diet — often alternating dubious and restrictive food regimens with binge eating, in a phenomenon known as "yo-yo dieting" — may be messing with their gut flora and their brains. In a new study published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers from France's University of Rennes and Paris-Saclay University found, after conducting a series of studies with mice, that yo-yo diets appeared to result in long-lasting changes to their gut bacteria.

Think smartphone cameras have peaked? Here’s what’s still to come

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’ve seen some absolutely phenomenal camera phones cross my desk this year. The extravagant Xiaomi 15 Ultra and more mainstream OnePlus 13, in particular, have upped the ante on the iPhone, Galaxy, and Pixel triopoly, providing avid photographers more choice than ever before. While some of their best bits will inevitably trickle down to more affordable price points, thereby introducing more consumers to these superb capabilities, there’s also a sense that we m

This is why I use two separate ChatGPT accounts

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority I’ll admit it: I’m a bit of a recovering AI addict. While I’ve had mixed feelings about AI from the start, as someone who spends a lot of time lost in thought, I’ve found it can be a useful tool for ideation, proofreading, entertainment, and much more. Recently, I’ve started scaling back my usage for reasons beyond the scope of this article, but for a while, I actually had two paid ChatGPT accounts. I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right, it’s a bit e

Report: M5 iPad Pro to have dual front-facing cameras

With last year’s M4 iPad Pro, Apple made a long-awaited change to the design: it moved the front-facing camera from the top to the side.

In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman reports: Apple is apparently adding a second, portrait-side front-facing camera to the upcoming M5 iPad Pro, presumably so FaceTimers and selfie fans

How the 'Minecraft' Score Became Big Business for Its Composer

In 2009, in between full-time shifts at a local factory, then-19-year-old musician Daniel Rosenfeld composed a score for an independent video game. “It was just a side hustle, maybe not even that. It was a hobby, really,” explains Rosenfeld, who records under the name C418. The game, Minecraft, turned out to be successful beyond Rosenfeld’s wildest dreams. In 2014, Microsoft purchased Minecraft’s Swedish developer, Mojang Studios, for $2.5 billion, and through 2023, it had sold 300 million copi

Larq Bottle PureVis 2 Review: Drinking Water as a Video Game Isn’t as Dumb as It Sounds

There’s something I learned about hydration that I can never forget: if you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. It’s a rule of thumb that can come in handy if you are out on a long hike or on the beach in the middle of summer when the risk of becoming dehydrated is pretty high. But day-to-day, I rarely pay attention to how much water I drink or how dehydrated my body could be. Despite the ever-growing popularity of mega-sized water bottles and counting the number of glasses people should d

Ethereum Is Quietly Soaring. What Comes Next?

Ethereum is experiencing a seismic rally. The price of Ether, the native token of the Ethereum network, surged by nearly $1,000 in a single week to hit a five-month high, climbing 25.3% to reach $3,745.72, according to data firm CoinGecko. For the first time in recent memory, there’s a palpable sense that this rally is grounded in something real and sustainable. So, what’s driving this explosive momentum? 1.

The Bad Batch Returns In a New ‘Star Wars’ Novel

It’s been over a year since Star Wars: The Bad Batch ended, but it was a given Clone Force 99 would eventually live on beyond the screen. Next month, we’ll check back in with the team in their first novel, Sanctuary. Written by Lamar Giles (Ruin Road), the tale takes place towards the end of season two after the episode “Pabu.” Now that they’re working with pirate hunter Phee, the Clones—Hunter, Omega, Wrecker, and Tech—are on resource gathering duty after the planet’s recent tsunami.

I Get 5G on My Phone at Home, So Why Can't I Get 5G Home Internet? Here's What I Learned

If you can get 5G on your phone while at home, you should be able to get 5G internet at your house, right? Not exactly. 5G is no longer the shiny new thing, thanks to efforts from major carriers AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, but 5G home internet service isn't strictly available at the same addresses as 5G cellular service. I ran into this when I switched my mobile carrier from AT&T cellular service to T-Mobile phone service. I was immediately impressed with the phone's 5G performance. However, ev

13 of the Best Movies Peacock Has to Offer

Peacock is full of must-see movies. Sure, the streaming conversation is often focused on the top-tier platforms like Netflix, Disney Plus and Prime Video.

Universal Pictures has been churning out box office hits and Oscar-winning flicks for more than a century. A large sampling of these titles can be found here, including the first-ever blockbuster, Jaws, among

There's an Online Community That Believes the Internet Died in 2016. Here's How AI Fits Into the Picture

It's no surprise that the rise of artificial intelligence is sparking debates among experts. Moreover, whether you use ChatGPT or Google Gemini, generative AI is increasingly being integrated into our daily lives. It's only fair to ask: Could AI take over the internet? Some members of the online community reckon it already has. This old online theory is on the rise again, and it all has to do with Shrimp Jesus. (Disclosure: Ziff Davis, CNET's parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against Open

EcoFlow Introduces New Home Battery to Aid in Disaster Preparedness

A whole-home battery backup can be a good solution to this problem, letting you charge the battery while the power is on and then kick in when the power goes out.

Here's Where to Hang Your Bird Feeder for Maximum Visits

As someone who writes about wellness and loves birdwatching, I've experienced firsthand how much joy birds can bring to your daily routine. And science backs it up. Listening to birdsong and spending time watching feathered visitors has been shown to lower stress, ease anxiety and even help reduce symptoms of depression. It's a simple but powerful way to feel more grounded and connected to nature. Until recently, I lived in an apartment in the heart of a city. I had to actively seek out nature

9 Best Coolers WIRED Tested for Every Budget, Any Situation

The first thing to consider when buying a cooler is how you're going to use it. If you aren't heading out for days at a time, you probably don't need an expensive high-end cooler. All the coolers we've recommend above are capable of holding things at a safe temperature for a day, provided you keep them in the shade. Similarly, if you're navigating rugged terrain, you might want beefy wheels—and if you're just going to the beach, you might not need them. Hard-sided coolers: These range from the
