Your next smartphone may become significantly faster thanks to the introduction of UFS 5.0, a new storage standard finalized by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC). This upgraded flash storage technology nearly doubles the sequential data bandwidth, reaching speeds of up to 10.8 GB per second, compared to the 5.8 GB per second limit of the previous UFS 4.0 and 4.1 standards.

In China, rice farming is being reimagined through the lens of technology and design, with entire fields transformed into giant, scannable QR codes. These innovative landscapes use carefully selected rice varieties with differing colors and growth characteristics to create stunning, pixel-like patterns visible from high vantage points. When scanned with a smartphone, the codes lead visitors to

WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging platform, is preparing to make a major shift in how users connect — moving beyond phone numbers as the primary identifier.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has forecasted a major evolution in personal technology, suggesting that AI-powered smart glasses are set to replace smartphones as our primary digital tools. He envisions a future where these advanced glasses seamlessly combine augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to project information directly into users’ fields of vision. This would allow people to

A student from the University of Surrey has created a groundbreaking 3D-printed robotic fish named Gillbert, designed to help combat microplastic pollution in freshwater environments. Engineered with flexible, bio-inspired fins, Gillbert mimics the natural movement of real fish as it swims through rivers and lakes. While swimming, it actively filters microplastics from the water, preventing

As electricity prices continue to rise, particularly in Pakistan, homeowners are increasingly exploring renewable energy solutions to reduce dependence on the grid. While solar power remains a leading option, a new technology developed by the Spanish company Vortex Bladeless is gaining attention for offering a compact, silent, and innovative way to harness wind energy—without the need for

Artificial intelligence is transforming the job market faster than most institutions can adapt, with estimates from McKinsey & Company suggesting that nearly 30% of work hours in the U.S. could be automated by 2030. The Brookings Institution has identified around 36 million U.S. jobs—approximately one-quarter of the workforce—as highly exposed to automation, meaning that over 70% of their

China has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first country in the world to successfully build and operate a flying wind turbine.
