'Ark: Survival Evolved' mods will become part of the main game and other top stories.

  • 'Ark: Survival Evolved' mods will become part of the main game

    Wildcard doesn't say whether or not modders will get compensation for their efforts (we've reached out for details). However, this could still be a welcome move in a game that's defined by its community. After all, mod developers rarely get more official acknowledgment from game studios than the creation of a toolkit -- this exposes their work to a much wider audience. VIDEO

  • NASA pours $67 million into solar electric spacecraft engines

    NASA pours $67 million into solar electric spacecraft engines
    NASA is big on solar electric propulsion (the Dawn spacecraft uses it, for instance) for a good reason: while the engines aren't powerful, they supply thrust for a very long time before giving up the ghost. And it now looks like the agency is ready to double down on that super-efficient tech. It just awarded a $67 million, 3-year contract to Aerojet Rocketdyne in hopes of developing an advanced solar electric propulsion system. The new technology could deliver twice as much thrust, and would b..

    A team of Brazilian and American scientists have discovered a new sponge and coral reef more than 600 miles long at the mouth of the Amazon River.

The discovery made in the journal Science is the result of the efforts of more than three decades. One of the senior Brazilian scientists, Rodrigo Moura, said that he wanted to use the research team’s time on the vessel ..

  • Qualcomm says it's fine to fast-charge your phone over USB-C

    Qualcomm says it's fine to fast-charge your phone over USB-C
    Well, not quite. The Qualcomm statement doesn't address whether or not the USB-C phones using QC3.0 really are honoring the port standard. It's notable that Google's own USB-C phones, the Nexus 5X and 6P, don't use Quick Charge precisely because of concerns that it's out of spec. This doesn't mean that companies like HTC or LG are living dangerously by implementing speedy charging tech, but you shouldn't be surprised if they're the exceptions rather than the rule.
