Terrorists and drone manufacturers are locked in a high-stakes technology war, with jihadis trying to transform unmanned aerial vehicles into flying weapons and drone companies working to thwart the Islamists, experts told FoxNews.com. The conflict came to the forefront this week after a drone collided with a British Airways flight landing at London's Heathrow Airport on Sunday afternoon. Although no one was hurt and officials have not called the incident an act of terrorism, the following day, SITE Intelligence Group reported that terrorists were using a secure messaging app to encourage the use of drones to take out commercial planes. But Adam Lisberg, the corporate communications director of Drone giant DJI Technology, told FoxNews.com a drone-on-plane attack is just a terrorist delusion. "It would be like trying to hit a bullet with a bullet," Lisberg said.

Google is seriously thinking about building its own city that will serve as a showcase for some of the futuristic technologies that it's developed. No, seriously: Rather than deploy different tech ideas in existing towns to see if they work, Alphabet's Sidewalk Labs could create its digital city called "Project Sidewalk." DON'T MISS: The best Nexus phone of all time could be coming this year Nothing has been decided just yet, but Sidewalk CEO Dan Doctoroff will pitch the idea to Alphabet CEO Larry Page in the coming weeks, The Information has learned. If successful, Doctoroff will then have to choose where to base this digital city. Sidewalk could also decide to deploy its tech in an existing city, Gizmodo says.

If you suspect that your significant other is bringing others into your bedroom, you could have an adult conversation about it or seek couple's counseling. Alternatively, you can buy a 1,700 smart mattress called the Smarttress that will tell you when your partner is having sex with someone that isn't you. Smarttress is the invention of Durmet, a Spanish mattress company that was inspired by the fact that Madrid has the highest number of cheating spouses in Europe. It features 24 sensors within the springs, which the company calls the "Lover Detection System." These sensors know which areas of the mattress are receiving pressure and make a 3D map of the bed.

Michael Karpf flew earlier this month to the Tesla Motors factory in Fremont, Calif., to pick up his new Model X electric sport-utility vehicle--known for a 200-plus mile battery range and Tesla CEO Elon Musk's claim that it's "the fastest SUV in history." The 75-year-old retiree planned to drive it across the country with his wife and son to their home in New Rochelle, N.Y. But the new-car gleam of Karpf's 138,000 titanium-on-beige P90D Model X faded with a string of problems as soon as he left the factory--delaying his journey. One of the wildly designed, upswinging "falcon wing" rear doors failed to close. The other falcon wing door failed to open, except from the inside.

Apple harvested almost 40 million worth of gold from recycled gadgets last year, and is now deploying robots to take iPhones apart in a major environmental push. In its latest annual environmental responsibility report, which was published last week, Apple explained that it gathered 2,204 pounds of recycled gold during its fiscal year 2015. The gold, which weighs more than a ton, is worth 39.6 million. Apple recovered more than 63 million pounds of various materials via its "take-back" recycling initiatives in 2015, according to the company's environmental report. The tech giant gathered over 23 million pounds of steel, making it the most recycled material, and more than 13 million pounds of plastics.

When 20-year-old U.S. Navy hopeful Cameron Massengale lost his arm in a work accident, he wasn't sure he'd ever be able to march as a cadet at The Citadel again. But thanks to a custom prosthetic arm and his refusal to settle, Massengale has not only returned to the group but also became the first amputee to make the university's Summerall Guards, a silent precision drill platoon, in January. Massengale is the first amputee to make the platoon at The Citadel, a military college in Charleston, S.C. It just kind of happens," Massengale told FoxNews.com. Massengale has four prosthetics, including one myoelectric prosthetic with a bionic hand and a drill prosthetic has a two-fingered hook so he can perform quick, open-and-close movements like picking up or setting down his rifle.

Remember those old tube TVs that took minutes to warm up after you turned on the power? How about dial-up modems that took half a minute to connect to the Internet? In the age of fast-booting TVs and always-connected Internet, you probably don't miss the waiting. However, when it comes to waiting there's one bit of technology that's gone backwards. Two decades ago in the time of DOS, you could turn on your computer and it would be ready to go in what seemed like no time.

Adrianne Haslet heard all the talk about taking back Boylston Street in the years after the Boston Marathon bombings. After losing her left leg in the 2013 finish-line explosions, Haslet decided that she would return to the course -- this time as a runner. When the race leaves Hopkinton on Monday, Haslet will be one of 31 members of the One Fund community -- survivors of the attacks, their families and supporters-- in the field. "A lot of people think about the finish line," she said. "I think about the start line."

LONDON – A British Airways flight carrying 132 passengers was hit by a drone as it approached London's Heathrow Airport Sunday afternoon. According to Sky News, the pilot reported that an object had struck the Airbus A320 as it arrived at the London hub from Geneva. The flight, BA727, landed safely at Heathrow's Terminal 5. British Airways said the aircraft was checked by engineers and cleared and cleared to make its next scheduled flight. Sky News reported that London's Metropolitan Police were investigating the incident and no arrests had been made. The strike is the latest in a string of incidents involving drones and aircraft over British airspace.

Now that drones have become a standard tool in our military arsenal, the next job is to make them more efficient and capable than ever before. The drones are capable of flying unmanned, but being able to retrieve them makes them reusable, which is both cost-effective and convenient. But drone retrieval also protects U.S. military technology and secrets. Gremlin drones have up to three hours to accomplish reconnaissance missions, at which time they automatically fly back to a retrieval area to be collected by a C-130 cargo plane. Volley-quantity UAV employment is otherwise known as a swarm of drones.
