Voters cast their ballots at a polling station in Russian-controlled Crimea, as the three-day presidential election kicks off. Early voting got underway in occupied territories of Ukraine, and the vote will also take place in Crimea, the peninsula annexed by Moscow in 2014 -- a move that most of the international community has refused to recognise.

Selena Gomez continues to call on tech giants like Facebook, Google, and Instagram to take down hate speech and misinformation.

Russian scientists teamed up with Special Forces in Voronezh on Tuesday to test a special quadcopter which they claim is controlled entirely by one's eye movements. At the heart of the technology is an augmented reality helmet that displays video both from the drone and from a camera mounted at the front of the helmet, allowing the user to see ahead while controlling the drone. Special sensors inside the helmet track eye movements and convert those movements into commands for the drone.
They say that we know more about the infinite expanse of the cosmos than we know about our own oceans. Well one new Russian underwater drone called the Glider 2.0 might be able to close the gap. The 8 foot long autonomous underwater robot was tested outside St. Petersburg in the Leningrad Oblast on Wednesday. However, the military has also taken note of his modern day robotic Jacques Cousteau. The torpedo-like Glider 2.0 can operate completely autonomously, has stealth capabilities, and can stay in the sea for up to six months at a time between refueling and service. This makes it ideal for military purposes, including surveillance and reconnaissance. In essence, the Glider 2.0 will make an excellent underwater spy. A new modification of the Glider is already being worked on. Developers are planning on increasing its speed and equipping it with a folding water propeller.
