Technology news and innovation

Want clear, fast updates on tech across Africa and beyond? This page groups stories about breakthroughs, gadgets, space missions, deep-sea tech, startups and telecom developments that matter to readers here.

We cover big tech in practical terms. Read how space medicine affects long missions. For example, Sunita Williams is facing health issues during an extended ISS stay after a Starliner glitch. That story shows how mission delays change crew care and tech planning back on Earth.

We also track exploration tech on land and under the sea. Take the planned dive to the Titanic by Larry Connor aboard a Triton submersible. That trip highlights sub design, safety gear and how private funding pushes tech fast. Those lessons filter into other fields like remote inspection and ocean research.

What matters for Africa? Mobile networks, low-cost sensors, renewable energy tech and satellite links. Faster internet and cheaper sensors let farmers, health clinics and small shops use data. Watch for more stories about affordable devices and satellite services that lower the barrier to entry.

What you can expect here

You'll find timely reports and clear explainers. We break down what new tech does, who pays for it, and why it affects daily life. Expect quick reads on policy shifts, product launches, startup funding, and safety issues tied to big projects.

We keep things practical. If a space mission is delayed, we explain the health, supply and cost implications. If a submersible makes a dive, we explain the design choices and what they mean for research. No jargon, just the facts and context you can use.
