Most of Samsung's recent tablets
have been decidedly mid-range. Mediocre screen resolution, budget

with just about all of the company's tablet efforts. But 2014 is a
different story, with Samsung's high-end Galaxy Pro tablets hitting store shelves. We'll be reviewing all of them soon, but today we're starting with the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1. Read More

Six years ago, Chris Hoffmann's 13-year-old
daughter Lauren said, “Daddy, I’ve been thinking about this one-wheeled

The higher the temperature at which an aircraft
engine is able to run, the more efficiently it uses fuel. In order to
run at those high temperatures, the metal components of airplane engines
are presently treated with heat-shielding coatings. Scientists at

that is said to be far more effective than anything presently used – it
could extend the service life of engines by 300 percent. Read More

micro-engine that burns oxygen and hydrogen, but there’s a small
problem; they’re not sure how the thing works. Read More
