THAT’S FAST In the early days of  electric cars , critics mocked their speed, and they gained a bit of a reputation as gas-powered cars’ slower, less powerful counterparts. While that may have been true in the past, it is certainly no longer the case. Between  Tesla’s lineup  of everything from  compact cars  to  semi trucks ,  Nissan’s futuristic sports car , and high-luxury brands like  Porsche  and  Jaguar’s  electric model releases, electric cars are now undeniably fast, efficient, and on the cutting edge of transportation technology. This fact is more apparent than ever thanks to the  Nio EP9 . Currently the fastest electric car on the market, the vehicle can reach speeds up to about 312 km/h (194 mph). Recently, the car officially cemented itself as the fastest model with  a record-breaking lap  around the Nürburgring track. It finished the lap with a time of 6:45:9, beating its own 2016 recor...

The easiest way to make sense of the various unfamiliar objects we find floating around in the cosmos is by thinking about them in the context of celestial bodies we are familiar with. Our Solar System has become the starting point for our analysis of other bodies, especially exoplanets. Click to View Full Infographic That’s how the term  “hot Neptune”  came about — it’s our way of describing exoplanets as massive as Uranus or Neptune but that orbit closer to their stars. We’ve already come across a number of these hot Neptunes, but one of the most recently discovered defies all expectations astronomers have about the exoplanets. Located about 437 light-years away from Earth, HAT-P-26b is a hot Neptune that has a primordial atmosphere composed mostly of hydrogen and helium — an unusual mixture for planets very close to their stars. “Astronomers have just begun to investigate the atmospheres of these distant Neptune-mass planets, and almost right away, we found a...

NASA needs help making its FUN3D software better, and it’s asking the world for help. The space agency  just announced several bounties  for anyone in the U.S. who can optimize the code for the NASA Pleiades supercomputer. The two top prizes of $15,000 and $10,000 will go to the coders with the best optimizations, and a third bounty will go to more general suggestions for optimization. Technically, anyone in the world could optimize it, but  only U.S. citizens are eligible  for the bounties. The other catch is that the core of FUN3D is written in Fortran, and while certain scientists and a few programmers here and there like this infamous 1950s holdover, they are in the minority in the coding community. This software simulates fluid dynamics and is used in the development and optimization of engines and vehicles. NASA uses FUN3D internally, but it’s also used at Lockheed, Boeing, and other companies in the high-tech vehicle business. This project began...

Samsung hopes to refurbish the 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 devices that it recalled after a battery fault led to some catching fire. If local authorities and carriers agreed, and there was demand, it may then resell the phones, Samsung said. It also unveiled two other proposals for recycling the devices, including detaching the components and retrieving the hardware's precious metals. Samsung had faced pressure from environmental campaigner Greenpeace. The organisation had lobbied the technology giant over its plans for the devices, launching a petition and staging global protests including at the Mobile World Congress event.

Samsung has confirmed that its much-anticipated answer to Apple’s Siri will be delayed. The Bixby voice-powered assistant was unveiled at a special event last month and was meant to debut on the South Korean giant’s new flagship devices. It promised to help users search and categorise photographs and access information using voice commands. But the Galaxy S8 and S8+ will now ship without English voice control for Bixby. However, Google's voice assistant, which is now a standard part of the Android operating system, will be available. And the Korean version of Bixby's voice control has not been delayed. The full Bixby will be made available as an update later this spring, Samsung said. It did not give a reason why, but early tests - by the BBC and others - suggested the software was lacking in the days ahead of its launch. "Key features of Bixby, including Vision, Home and Reminder, will be available with the global launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8 on 21 Apr...
