It is set to be one of the fastest helicopters in the sky. Airbus has revealed a radical new concept it says will be able to fly at speeds of 250mph. The aerospace firm said it could revolutionise everything from search and rescue and air ambulances to private travel. The Racer demonstrator will use an innovative'box-wing' design, optimised for aerodynamic efficiency, will provide lift in cruise mode while isolating passengers during ground operations from the'pusher' lateral rotors designed to generate thrust in forward flight. Optimised for performance and low acoustic signature, these lateral rotors as well as the main rotor will be driven by two RTM322 engines.

There are few names in the world of tech more trusted than Nokia. Many of us grew up with the brand as the go-to company for the easiest-to-use, most reliable, best-designed mobile phones. And French company Withings in recent years has built a fearsome reputation for brilliant home appliances that had wireless connectivity before other companies even got into the smart home game. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.

"Artificial intelligence may take a lot of jobs away. If we don't give simple and easy technology products for small businesses, most of them can't survive in 10 years. If small businesses can't survive, we can't survive," said Ma, speaking in Detroit at the Gateway 17 conference for entrepreneurs. "It's going to be painful. Some people who catch the wave will be rich, will be more successful. For some people, it will be more painful. The government, you know, the world is going to be data. The people will now have more data than the bosses," he said in an interview with CNBC.

In lieu of a traditional orientation--we're not much for HR anyway--we think it would be more effective to outline the many, many ways in which you are screwed. After all, garbage fires don't put out themselves! For starters, you're going to need to fill a few executive-level roles. It's not as existential a problem as the toxic corporate culture and subsequent comeuppance that led to those departures in the first place, but good to score some small victories. As of now you'll just need a COO, a CFO, a CTO, a president of ride-sharing, and a general counsel.

Sophia, the realistic humanoid robot who smiles mischievously and tells jokes appeared, on Good Morning Britain with Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid this morning. During her appearance, the bizarre robot told presenters she thought Britain was'brilliant' and said'I love your posh English accent. It really has a nice ring'. She said her ideal partner was'super-wise, compassionate, super-genius, ideally' but that she was technically just over a year old and still'a bit young to worry about romance'. Robotic expert Dr David Hanson told viewers that Hanson robotics - who created Sophia - is working to make robots that understand humans and ultimately care about us.

The General Election has been and gone, but questions remain regarding the suitability of Theresa May as Britain's premier. Nonetheless, as part of traditional ritual, MPs have once again descended upon the House of Lords for the reading of the Queen's Speech, where Her Majesty details the formal plan for the current government. Brexit and Britain's security were the banner announcements, but technology also played a key part, with driverless cars and spaceports the notable inclusions. In last year's Queen's Speech, the government rammed home the message that Britain will become a leader in autonomous transportation. It's largely the same this year, with Theresa May outlining the need for car insurance to cover the use of self-driving cars so that "compensation claims continue to be paid quickly, fairly, and easily."

Bots and trolls are working together to spread propaganda and manipulate Twitter and Facebook users' political views, says a new study from the University of Oxford. Bots "played a small but strategic role" in shaping Twitter conversations during the EU referendum last year, according to the report. "The family of hashtags associated with the argument for leaving the EU dominated, while less than one percent of sampled accounts generated almost a third of all the messages," it says. They also affected the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election, the study adds. "Computational propaganda is one of the most powerful new tools against democracy," warns the report.

The exploded skull of a man who died in the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago has been pieced together giving scientists a unique opportunity to capture the ancient face using 3D imaging. It is the first real-life reconstruction of the features of a victim of the volcanic disaster who lived in the ill-fated seaside town of Herculaneum. The appearance is that of a typical southern European who may have been wealthy and educated because he was 50 years old when he died - an unusual milestone for the time. He was one of 350 casualties discovered frozen in time, buried under volcanic ash in Herculaneum. This is the first real-life reconstruction of the features of a victim of the volcanic disaster who lived in the ill-fated seaside town of Herculaneum.

The US military says it has shot down an armed, Iran-made drone that had been bearing down on its forces near a garrison in Syria's southeast. In the latest sign of increasingly frequent confrontation with Damascus and its allies, Tuesday's incident closely followed Sunday's US downing of a piloted Syrian army jet in the southern Raqqa countryside after it dropped bombs near US-backed forces. The Pentagon said a US F-15 aircraft, flying over Syrian territory, fired on the drone after it displayed hostile intent and advanced on coalition forces. Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said it had "dirty wings", meaning it was armed. "I can tell you it was an Iranian-made drone," Davis said, declining to speculate on who was operating it.
