Large Solar Storm Sparks Global Aurora and Doubles Radiation Levels on the Martian Surface (29/09/2017)
An unexpectedly strong blast from the Sun hit Mars this month, observed by NASA missions in orbit and on the surface.
F1 team uses racing car technology to keep newborns safe in ambulances (28/09/2017)
GROVE, England (Reuters) - A Formula One racing team is
employing technology that helps racing drivers survive high speed crashes to
create a new device that keeps newborn babies safe during emergency
transportation.
Dyson plans to launch electric car in 2020 (27/09/2017)
Dyson
has unveiled plans to develop and build its own electric car by 2020,
gatecrashing the existing market and promising to hire hundreds of people in
the UK.
Google replaces Bing to become Apple's default Siri search engine (25/09/2017)
Apple confirmed that its smart assistant Siri will now use Google rather than Bing for searches, in a sign of increasing integration between the two tech giants
Microsoft launches new healthcare division based on artificial intelligence software (24/09/2017)
Ultra-light aluminum: Chemists report breakthrough in material design (24/09/2017)
If
you drop an aluminum spoon in a sink full of water, the spoon will sink to the
bottom. That's because aluminum, in its conventional form, is denser than water
says Utah State University chemist Alexander Boldyrev.
New technique spots warning signs of extreme events (24/09/2017)
Many extreme events—from a
rogue wave that rises up from calm waters, to an instability inside a gas
turbine, to the sudden extinction of a previously hardy wildlife species—seem
to occur without warning. It's often impossible to predict when such bursts of
instability will strike, particularly in systems with a complex and
ever-changing mix of players and pieces.
Quantum data takes a ride on sound waves (24/09/2017)
Yale
scientists have created a simple-to-produce device that uses sound waves to
store quantum information and convert it from one form to another, all inside a
single, integrated chip.
A way to measure and control phonons (24/09/2017)
A
team of researchers with the University of Vienna in Austria and Delft
University of Technology in the Netherlands has developed a technique using
photons for controlling and measuring phonons. In their paper published in the
journal Science, the team describes their technique and suggest that their
work might have laid the groundwork toward a method to store information in a
quantum computer.
A new way to enhance the capacity of memory devices (24/09/2017)
A
Tomsk Polytechnic University study reveals how topological vortices found in
low-dimensional materials can be both displaced and erased and restored again
by the electrical field within nanoparticles. This may open exciting
opportunities for memory devices or quantum computers in which information will
be encrypted in the characteristics of topological vortices.
