The calls for gun control in the United States have grown more urgent since the December shooting in Newtown, Conn., and it is likely that legislation will be introduced in Congress this year.

Apple is still doing relatively well, but its valuation is falling like a rock, while Nokia and RIM are ascending from catastrophically low levels. Yet judging from Twitter feeds and relevant articles, it appears the people who disbelieve that Apple can fall are matched by those who can't believe RI...
Researchers at the European Bioinformatics Institute on Wednesday announced their success at storing data by encoding it to DNA. The system could stand the test of time -- tens of thousands of years, perhaps. This method for archiving data could make it possible to store 100 million hours of high-de...
Deep Space Industries on Tuesday announced plans to launch a robotic fleet to scour space for asteroids that can be mined. The company will send out its FireFly spacecraft in 2015 on journeys of two-to-six months. DSI will build the 55-lb. FireFlies using CubeSat technology. The company will work wi...
Cuba has activated an underwater cable that could alter the nation's Internet landscape -- but its impact would be greater if the cable were turned on all the way.

Google is envisioning a future in which email and online banking accounts are safer thanks to technology that would add a physical component to security protection. Members of the Google security team reportedly will publish a paper in next month's IEEE Security & Privacy Magazine examining scen...
Part of the fun after CES is to weave the various announcements and showcases together to get a view of a future that might result from a blend of them. The goal, if you can call it that, is like imagining the cars of the 1950s and '60s, but from a 1920s perspective with then-recent developments suc...

At this year's North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the auto industry made gestures toward smarter navigation and entertainment systems, as well as streamlining the SUV category.

It makes sense that the first major auto show of the year began just one week after CES 2013 in Las Vegas; more technologies, like apps and voice recognition, are driving their way into cars. It used to be that the intersection of cars and technology could be found at the annual auto show in Detroit...
Leap Motion, which makes a 3D controller that can track movements smaller than the tip of a pin, on Wednesday announced that it has entered a limited exclusive agreement with Best Buy.
