MIT researchers have designed an artificial neuron from superconducting nanowires. In theory, a simple circuit of such neurons can work as efficiently as the human brain. The network can carry out one hundred trillion synaptic operations per second...
A large number of specific types of particles (known as scalars) were created during cosmic inflation. If dark matter has any connection with these scalar particles, it may predate the Big Bang. About 85 percent of the mass of the universe is made...
The second World War has always been a hot topic for modern historians studying the prevailing political and economic structure of the contemporary world. Incidents such as nuclear detonations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki or the Battle of Stalingrad...
Chromatography is a technique of separating out different parts of a chemical mixture so that they can be analyzed individually. This physical method allows chemists to closely observe organic and inorganic compounds and figure out what they are...
Computers are very complex machines, yet people operate them without any technical skills. They just interact with the graphical interface and all the background process is usually hidden. Well, every single element you are seeing on your desktop is...
Although space mining sounds pretty sci-fi, it will be a reality in the future. Researchers are investigating the performance of the particular bacterium to extract metals from asteroids. The bacterium named Shewanella oneidensis has been known to...
Researchers study the brain of 324 healthy individuals using magnetic resonance tomography. They found that people’s level of general knowledge depends on structural brain network connectivity. The efficient fiber interconnections within the...
The word “computer” was first used in 1613 to describe a human who performed calculations or computations. The definition remained the same until the end of the 19th century when the tech industry gave rise to machines whose primary task...
The history of roller coasters can be traced back to the 16th century when large ice-covered wooden slides were used as an amusement ride in Russia. The so-called Russian Mountains were between 21-24 meters in height and had a maximum 50-degree drop...
What started in 2003 as a small project is now the world’s most popular content management system (CMS). WordPress is now used by more than 60 million websites, including 33.6 percent of the top 10 million websites. What makes WordPress great...
Magnetism can spontaneously emerge in a non-magnetic metallic disk if it is illuminated by linear polarized light. Researchers theorize a new technique to create material properties ‘on-demand’. Magnetism is caused by the...
The new statistical method can detect AI-generated content. It works by identifying texts that are too predictable rather than just flagging errors in texts. In the recent decade, the natural language processing community has witnessed the growth...
