The European Union is set to propose curbing access to social media, video-sharing platforms, chatbots and online games for children younger than 15, according to a draft legal document seen by AFP.

Remember the solar calculator from middle school math class that had a small solar cell at the top? The idea behind that technology is not a relic of the past but the subject of continuous innovation. Today

Kyocera Corporation and the Research Institute of Electrical Communication (RIEC) at Tohoku University have developed a new technology that integrates optical isolators directly onto silicon photonics chips using laser annealing, a method that applies localized heat treatment using a laser.

Meta said Wednesday it had begun testing Community Notes in 16 Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, a step toward replacing the professional fact-checking program it runs with partner organizations across the region.

Apple on Wednesday unveiled its latest generation of iPhones, including a widely anticipated foldable version called Duo.

A new approach to computing has quietly taken shape at Sandia National Laboratories, where researchers have developed a way to store information that could make future electronics more energy efficient.

The European Union should force tech giants to make social media safe before children use it instead of banning minors from their platforms, more than 130 groups and experts urged in a letter shared with AFP Tuesday.

Meta launched on Tuesday a personal artificial intelligence agent, Muse, for people 18 and over who are looking for help with day-to-day tasks like schedules, shopping and, in the company

A working prototype that can see, remember and interact with the world like the human brain could one day underpin smart bionic eyes while using far less energy than today

A joint research team led by Professors Sangyoon Han and Jaesok Yu of the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering at DGIST has developed the world

Social media giants face US$78 million fines if they fail to protect young users from harmful content, Australia

Australians could be given the option of opting out of powerful social media algorithms under new legislation cracking down on Big Tech, a minister said Monday.

Wearable sensors, such as wristbands, rings and adhesive patches, are becoming increasingly common for health care monitoring, fitness tracking and human-machine interaction. While most wearable devices are made from flexible polymers or textiles, paper-based sensors are emerging as cheaper and more sustainable alternatives. Such sensors could be used for applications such as medical diagnosis or detecting contaminants and toxins and could be safely discarded after use.

The field of silicon photonics, which uses light rather than electricity to transmit and process data on semiconductor chips, has enabled optical systems to evolve from bulky setups to compact, advanced systems. Typically, however, these silicon-photonics chips are rigid and opaque.

Nvidia chief Jensen Huang urged G20 ministers on Wednesday to build more data centers to support the artificial intelligence revolution and warned that leaders who talk up the technology
