“It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease
The recently unveiled microchip created by researchers at University of California, Davis is the world’s first chip that hosts 1000 independently programmable processors. The “KiloCore” contains 621 million transistors, and its reported maximum computation rate is at 1.78 trillion operations per second.
When it comes to internet security, the struggle between organizations employing counter-measures against one
Living cells are capable of performing complex computations on the environmental signals they encounter. These computations can be continuous, or analogue, in nature — the way eyes adjust to gradual changes in the light levels. They can also be digital, involving simple on or off processes, such as a cell’s initiation of its own death.
Many new robots look less like the metal humanoids of pop culture and more like high-tech extensions of ourselves and our capabilities. In the same way eyeglasses, wheelchairs, pacemakers and other items enable people to see and move more easily in the world, so will many cutting-edge robotic systems.
The need for renewable sources of energy keeps increasing no matter how much fossil fuels refuse to go away. Some are taking their green initiatives further than others, but Harvard’s new step towards accessible and efficient green energy may actually to be a huge leap…
Spinal muscular atrophy is one of the most serious degenerative neuromuscular disesases in children, with very high mortality rates in the affected population. We don’t have a cure for this condition and there is no treatment in sight, but this world’s first exoskeleton for children could make a world of difference for a non-negligible number of them…
Uprising of super-intelligent robots is something to worry about – at least according to people like Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk. It seems that Google takes the matter no less seriously according to the recently published research by their DeepMind lab…
A finding by a University of Central Florida researcher unlocks a means of controlling materials at the nanoscale and opens the door to a new generation of manufacturing…
It’s a user interface that goes far beyond graphical interaction and clumsy touchscreens. Today’s touch-based interfaces
