A decade-long collaboration between Dutch tech companies has produced a breakthrough microchip that spots unwanted drones faster and from farther away while using less energy. The innovation positions the Netherlands as a global leader in drone detection technology.
A delegation from Côte d'Ivoire visited Kenya's Karura Forest to learn innovative conservation techniques, marking a growing movement of African nations sharing solutions for protecting their ecosystems. The exchange brought together experts from seven organizations to strengthen regional forest management across the continent.
African leaders just launched a new financing facility to unlock the continent's $2.5 trillion in domestic capital for roads, energy, and trade projects. The move marks a major step toward financial independence from external systems that often misprice Africa's development needs.
Families across Kenya are catching a break as prices dropped on essential items like sugar, flour, and electricity in February. The cost cuts helped ease inflation and put more money back in people's pockets.
Researchers in South Africa are studying children born with HIV to find ways they could live without daily medication. Early treatment might help their young immune systems control the virus naturally.
After cracking down on corruption, South Africa's social security agency has fired five officials and rebuilt its fraud-prevention systems. The Johannesburg office is now serving vulnerable citizens again with stronger safeguards in place.
Nigeria's food safety agency is proving that protective systems work when it matters most. While European formula brands face contamination concerns, Nigerian parents can breathe easy knowing local products remain safe.
Morocco installed over 1,200 MW of solar capacity last year, including a massive surge in rooftop and agricultural systems. The North African nation is racing toward its goal of getting half its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
New University of Michigan research shows small solar panels are spreading across Malawi, but most households need systems 8 times more powerful to unlock life-changing benefits. The study also uncovered unexpected wins, like families saving hours of travel time to charge their phones.
While tech giants struggle with outdated systems, African businesses are building cutting-edge AI infrastructure from scratch. This clean slate advantage could make the continent a global leader in autonomous AI technology.
Grammy-winning R&B star Tems was once booed off stage and had plastic bottles thrown at her during a school performance. Today, she's a global superstar who refused to compromise her unique sound.
Stone Age humans carved complex symbols into mammoth figurines and tools 40,000 years ago that match the information density of the world's first known writing system. The discovery suggests our ancestors had the mental capacity for written language far earlier than anyone imagined.
Carnegie Mellon University just opened a massive new robotics facility that could change how we develop autonomous systems for everything from disaster response to space exploration. After 40 years of pioneering real-world robotics, the school is scaling up with specialized environments to test land, air, and water-based robots.
Tigers will roam Kazakhstan for the first time in 70 years, thanks to a massive tree-planting effort restoring their lost habitat. The country has planted 87,000 seedlings since 2021 to prepare ecosystems for wild tigers arriving in 2026.
Investment funds are pouring into AI-powered systems that catch plastic waste in Asian rivers before it reaches the ocean. The shift mirrors how renewable energy transformed from charity projects into a trillion-dollar industry.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured breathtaking images of massive auroras dancing across Uranus' atmosphere, giving scientists their clearest view yet of this distant ice giant. The discovery marks a major milestone in understanding planetary weather systems beyond Earth.
Ice Age humans carved complex symbol sequences into ivory figurines 40,000 years ago that rival early writing systems in sophistication. New research reveals these weren't random decorations but structured information storage that predates formal writing by tens of thousands of years.
Kenya just landed nearly $4 million to bring threatened ecosystems back to life, connecting vital wildlife corridors and protecting biodiversity. The partnership with WWF marks a major step toward the country's 2030 conservation goals.
Norway's Statkraft just signed a deal for two massive battery systems in Finland that will smooth out wind power's ups and downs, making clean energy more reliable. It's a breakthrough solution as Finland's wind capacity nearly tripled in just four years.
Japanese researchers created a quality-control system that catches hidden manufacturing defects—like tiny cracks and heat problems—that traditional cameras miss, making products safer and more reliable. The technology runs fast enough to inspect items in real time on factory assembly lines.
