It is these bots that Cloudflare is now taking a strong stand against, protecting more than 16% of global internet traffic. Since July, ev...

The aviation industry is rapidly approaching electrification, as this year's Paris Air Show 2025 clearly confirmed. The world's largest aerospace trade fair welcomed a record number of exhibitors last week, including those from the Czech Re...
A Danish laboratory focused on acoustic precision has succeeded in developing an invisible ‘tractor’ beam composed entirely of sound waves. This technology allows levitation, rotation and precise control of small solid objects through the air - without any physical contact, magnets or wires. Even more surprisingly, the entire system operates com...
