Nov 02, 7:00PM
Without prompt action from lawmakers and regulators, much of what fuels a critical segment of the U.S. economy — especially tech-savvy California — is at risk.

Estimates suggest that agencies hold as much as 70 percent of the spectrum… Read MoreGoogle: Chrome OS Is Here To Stay

Nov 02, 3:54PM
Imagine you’re a squishy cube. Imagine you need to climb a hill. How do you do it? With your tongue(s), of course. Researchers at CSAIL at MIT have created a little cube robot that can propel itself around by swiping at surfaces with metal tongues. The tongues turn around an axis and stick out briefly, jettisoning the robot into space for a moment as it rolls over obstacles. While the… Read MoreHandy Raises $50M Led By Fidelity, Reportedly At $500M Valuation, To Clean Up In Home Services
