Cadepo, a cash and cheque deposit solution, has reached a significant regulatory milestone by meeting the State Bank of Pakistan’s standards for cash deposit machines. The achievement comes after the deployment of more than 600 devices, which have processed over PKR 100 billion in cash and cheque deposits.

Pakistan’s internet usage has increased sharply over the past few years, with access more than doubling since 2019, according to the Household Integrated Economic Survey 2024–25. The survey shows that over 70 percent of households across the country now use internet services, compared to just 34 percent in 2019, highlighting rapid growth in digital connectivity.

At CES 2026, Amazon introduced its new line of branded televisions under the name Ember, with the flagship model being the Ember Artline TV, designed to compete with Samsung’s popular Frame TV. The Ember Artline is a 4K QLED TV supporting Dolby Vision and HDR10 Plus, featuring a matte display that reduces glare in bright and dim environments. The TV comes in two sizes, 55 inches and 65 inches,

Google has confirmed that Snapseed 3.0 will be released for Android, following its debut on iOS devices in June. The confirmation comes after members of the Snapseed team shared on Reddit in late December that development on the Android version began in November, though they cautioned that the update is still a few months away from launch.

Lego is entering a transformative phase with the launch of its first-ever smart brick, a move the company describes as its most significant innovation in decades. The new piece, officially unveiled at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, initially resembles a standard Lego brick, retaining the familiar click and tactile feel, but its interior houses advanced electronics designed to revolutionize play.

Under a grey morning sky, engineers cluster around a tablet as strong winds tear their voices apart. On the screen, a red marker inches forward across a digital map of the ocean floor. Far beneath the waves, a robotic drill slowly cuts into ancient rock, marking the first metres of what could become the longest underwater rail tunnel ever built. There are no ceremonies or speeches, only the

In a landmark achievement in quantum physics, researchers at Columbia University have successfully created a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) from molecules, achieving a goal that has eluded scientists for decades. The team, led by physicist Sebastian Will, cooled sodium-cesium molecules to an extraordinary 5 nanoKelvin, or roughly minus 459.66 degrees Fahrenheit, causing the molecules to lose

A Chinese automotive supplier has introduced an innovative approach to vehicle safety with what it claims is the world’s first helmet-style airbag integrated directly into car seats. Unlike conventional airbags that protect a single impact area, this system inflates around the head, neck, shoulders, and spine, complementing side airbags to fully shield passengers during a collision.

Chinese scientists have created an advanced neuromorphic electronic skin that enables humanoid robots to sense touch similarly to humans. The technology, detailed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, allows robots to process tactile signals locally, mimicking the human nervous system. This enables immediate responses without relying on a central computer.

Pakistan’s first computer chip manufacturing unit will be set up in Faisalabad, marking a major step toward strengthening the country’s technology and industrial base.
