Jony Ive is leaving Apple to start his own design firm

In an interview with the Financial Times, Apple design chief Jony Ive announced that, after more than two decades of making its products look and feel the way they do, he's leaving the company.

In a statement, CEO Tim Cook said "Apple will continue to benefit from Jony's talents by working directly with him on exclusive projects, and through the ongoing work of the brilliant and passionate design team he has built." Once Ive's transition is complete later this year, VP of industrial design Evans Hankey and VP of Human Interface design Alan Dye will report directly to Apple COO Jeff Williams.

NASA's Dragonfly mission is sending an eight-rotor drone to Titan

It will spend nine years in flight, covering 840 million miles before finally making a two-hour descent to the surface of Titan. Once it lands, the dual-quadcopter will spend 2.7 years making short flights of up to 5 miles around the moon.

New Philips Hue smart bulbs don't need a hub

You can't disguise your heartbeat.

The Pentagon has a laser that identifies people by their heartbeat



The Pentagon has developed a laser that can identify people -- from a distance -- by their heartbeat. The technology, known as Jetson, uses laser vibrometry to identify surface movement on the skin caused by a heartbeat. It can work from 200 meters away.

Everyone's cardiac signature is unique, and unlike faces and fingerprints, it can't be altered in any way. As with facial recognition and other biometrics which rely on optimal conditions, though, Jetson does have a few challenges.
