New AI technology is being used to help tennis fans better enjoy Wimbledon this year.

The All England Tennis Club have teamed up with IBM to collect and combine data for fans, coaches and players, using tech like Hawkeye.

It’s designed to give more information for those who can’t attend the matches.

A fan hyper-car has broken the Goodwood Hill record with a time of 39.08 seconds.

The McMurty Spéirling car beat the record set in 1999 by a racing driver in an F1 car.

An Ofcom study has found two thirds of young people see harmful content online, but just 16% report it. Nasa has made history by launching a rocket from Australia for the first time. Scientists are calling for regulation on space travel, as data shows it could be causing damage to the o-zone layer. Charcoal inside ancient rocks shows wildfires raged 430 million years ago. And a gamer is recreating his own open-world version of the Playstation 2 game The Simpsons: Hit and Run.
