Technology With a hydrogen fuel cell-powered car setting new distance records in London, for distance travelled on one tank of hydrogen (about 400 miles), and for the longest journey, of more than 6,000 miles in six days – is hydrogen the future of the car rather than electric vehicles? Can the two technologies co-exist or will one predominate? If so, which is likely to emerge victorious…? The fight between hydrogen and batteries to replace the internal combustion engine as the driving force in vehicle technology is in full swing. If you look at volumes, electric vehicles (EVs) are currently winning the battle.  Almost half a million were sold in 2015, according to research group Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF).  A small proportion of the entire car market, to be sure – just 0.6%. But it was a 70% increase on the year before. Virtually every car manufacturer is increasing the number of EV models it produces; ranges are improving and costs are coming down....

Inside Apple: How the iPhone almost never happened By Heather Kelly and Jack Regan June 27, 2017: 5:19 PM ET The original iPhone's development was an epic undertaking cloaked in layers of paranoid secrecy. When Apple's smartphone went on sale on June 29, 2007, the world was dominated by flip phones and Blackberrys with tiny keyboards. People carried iPods for music, Palm Pilots for calendars, and compact cameras for photography. Putting all those things into a rectangle that fit in your pocked seemed crazy. Doing it without a keyboard was even crazier. Ten years later, details have come out about what it really took for  Apple ( AAPL ,  Tech30 )  to create a brand new gadget that changed the world. These are some of the stories of how the iPhone was born. The iPhone exists because Steve Jobs couldn't stand someone at Microsoft "It began because Steve hated this guy at Microsoft," said former Apple executive Scott Forstall during a recent talk a...

MISSING, OR SLEEPING? During a lunchtime conversation in 1950 , Enrico Fermi, the “architect of the nuclear age” who built the world’s first nuclear reactor, posed a question that has resulted in decades of research and hundreds of published papers: “Where is everybody?” This is the crystallization of the paradox he perceived (now known as the Fermi Paradox) which questions, “If the universe is  large enough to have more than sufficient opportunity to create more life than what we see on earth, why haven’t we met that alien life yet?” Scientists, like Anders Sandberg , an Oxford neuroscientist, and  Milan Ćirković , part of the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade, have used this as a jumping-off point in their attempts to debunk — or defend — the possibility of extraterrestrial civilizations. Sandberg and Ćirković teamed up with Stuart Armstrong , an AI expert at the Future of Humanity institute, to author   a new paper  arguin...
