A Fully Solar-Powered Car May Be On The Road by 2019
The car that charges itself. Lightyear One, a car whose ability to use solar power has been thought of as an impossible feat, just won a Climate Change Innovator Award. Designed by the Dutch startup Lightyear, the “car that charges itself” can supposedly drive for months without charging and has a 400-800 km range. But is a solar-powered car feasible? For … Continue reading
EVERYTHING You’ve Ever Done Online Will Be Found by This Computer & You Cannot Stop it
THE next generation of computers is striking fear into security agencies across the world as nations prepare for the biggest dump of information that the world has ever seen. This is not another whistleblower but the development of Quantum computing. The race is already under way on two fronts, the development of these super-computers on one hand and the development … Continue reading
Scientist Have Created a Magnetic ‘Wormhole’ That Connects Two Regions of Space
When you get to the end of this article, do remember to pay mind to the last paragraph and let the words really sink in, it’s a very interesting quote indeed! via Scicademy: Wormholes are fascinating (but theoretical) cosmological objects that can connect two distant regions of the universe. They would allow one to create “shortcuts” through space in order … Continue reading
Thought Communication Will Replace Human Speech by the Year 2050
This would certainly be fun and exciting but like with most other technologies there would be a great risk of misuse. via Express UK: HUMAN speech will become a thing of the past by the year 2050, by which time we will communicate by thought via a computer-generated collective consciousness, it has been claimed Marko Karjnovic unveiled his ideas at … Continue reading
Image of A Single Atom Trapped in a Magnetic Field
Have you ever seen an atom before? I know I haven’t, incredible stuff! via RT: An incredible award-winning photo reveals what a lone atom trapped in a magnetic field would look like to the naked eye. ‘Single Atom in an Ion Trap’ was taken by David Nadlinger, from the University of Oxford through a window of a ultra-high vacuum chamber … Continue reading
Mineral Discovered in Earth’s Mantle Could Make the Internet 1,000-Times Faster
A “miracle material” found deep within the Earth’s mantle could hold the key to ultra-high-speed communications and computing, researchers say. Scientists from the University of Utah discovered that a type of perovskite – a mineral first discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia – could be the “vital component” for next-generation communications systems. The research, which appeared in a paper … Continue reading
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
Google’s Artificial Intelligence Builds ‘Child’ that Outperforms Man Made AI
In May 2017, researchers at Google Brain announced the creation of AutoML, an artificial intelligence (AI) that’s capable of generating its own AIs. More recently, they decided to present AutoML with its biggest challenge to date, and the AI that can build AI created a “child” that outperformed all of its human-made counterparts. The Google researchers automated the design of machine learning models using an … Continue reading
Neuroscientists Track Thought’s Trip through Brain
A team of researchers led by the University of California, Berkeley’s Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute has tracked the progress of a thought through the brain, showing how a region called the prefrontal cortex coordinates activity to help us act in response to a perception. The team’s results appear in the journal Nature Human Behavior. Recording the electrical activity of neurons … Continue reading
Could These Scientists End Up SWITCHING-OFF GRAVITY – And If They Do What Will Happen?
Well this sure sounds interesting and possible scary as well. via Express UK: A TEAM of research scientists may be on the cusp of switching-off GRAVITY itself, as part of a bid to develop warp-drive travel. The physicists are attempting to harness the power of Quantum Entanglement – a bizarre force which allows one particle to ‘talk’ to a mirror … Continue reading
