Engineers at MIT Designed a Chip That Behaves Just Like Brain Cell Connections
The most promising artificial synapse to date. For those working in the field of advanced artificial intelligence, getting a computer to simulate brain activity is a gargantuan task, but it may be easier to manage if the hardware is designed more like brain hardware to start with. This emerging field is called neuromorphic computing. And now engineers at MIT may have … Continue reading
Quantum Theory of “Spooky Action at a Distance” Confirmed by Experiment
Quantum physics is just weird. One of the strangest behaviors studied by this out-there branch of science is called quantum entanglement and is enough to make your head hurt. Quantum entanglement involves two subatomic particles which could be any theoretical distance apart, yet share some type of mysterious connection which makes measuring or even just observing any one of the … Continue reading
Soon you too can have ‘X-ray vision’ for just $300
A new MIT spin-off is scheduled to begin selling the technology in early 2017 It may not be ready for gift-giving this year, but come 2017 this could be the hottest item on wish lists around the world: a $300 device that enables “X-ray vision.” The technology has been under development for more than two years, and now a group … Continue reading
