Human brain perceives sounds during sleep, but it’s unable to group these sounds in an appropriate sequence.  Scientists used magnetoencephalography to prove that speech cannot be recognized during non-rapid and rapid eye movement sleep.  The ability to learn during sleep, known as hypnopedia, was popularized in the late 1950s. It’s an attempt to convey information through ...

I would be lying if a say that I loved math as a kid and so would many of you. But believe me, mathematics can be as interesting as any other subject, especially with the right tools. And what could be a better tool than interactive and fun games? It is now proven that games ...

Scientists found a new way to accelerate antimatter in a thousand times smaller space than existing accelerators.  The technique is much efficient, inexpensive and would help us study new physics in detail.  Particle accelerators in facilities like Linac Coherent Light Source and Large Hadron Collider speed up elementary particles (electrons and protons). They allow scientists ...

The new lane-changing algorithm relies on real-time data collected by car’s cameras and sensors.  It creates and computes new buffer zones on the fly.  It allows a wide range of driving style from aggressive to conservative, while ensuring safety.  Do you know the first step towards driverless cars came in the 1980s, and it is still there ...

Engineers designed a new device that could be connected to a low-powered PC/laptop to process large graphs.  It could handle massive graphs with up to 4 billion nodes and 128 billion edges.  Tech companies could use this device to decrease energy footprint by using fewer servers.  In computer science, graphs are structures of nodes and ...

GitHub is the best platform for sharing code with colleagues, classmates, friends and complete strangers. To make sure you do this without any interruption, GitHub provides dozens of features including access control, task management, feature requests, bug tracking and wikis for all projects. Tom Preston-Werner, Chris Wanstrath and PJ Hyett launched GitHub.com on 10th April 2008, and within ...

Road bikes are known for their comfortable ride on asphalt and cobblestone, incredible load-caring ability, and on-road racing. These lighter and environment-friendly means of transportation keep you in shape. The key materials that distinguish road bikes from other bicycles are their lightweight frames and skinny tires that don’t go above 0.9 – 1.1 inches. Two cogs ...

Researchers examined cancer treatment as a game played by the physician and tumor cells.  The physician, as a leader in the game, can regularly monitor cancer responses during each treatment cycle. This approach combined with a mathematical model could provide useful data to enhance the results of subsequent cycles.  Cancer can be treated by radiation therapy, ...

Alarm clocks are an important piece of technology used by humans for hundreds of years to get on with various day-to-day activities. It can help you in several situations, whether you want to wake up early in the morning or take a nap in the middle of the day but wary that you might not ...

Researchers develop soft fabrics with embedded electronics that can be made into clothing.  The discovery could give rise to a new Moore’s Law for fibers.  The early applications would be products related to safety and communications. Over the last couple of decades, we have seen numerous attempts to enhance the fiber functionality, which can ultimately ...

Dactyl learns to solve the object reorientation task through simulations, without requiring any human intervention.  It can analyze fingertips’ coordinates and images from 3 conventional RGB cameras.  They used MuJoCo physics engine to measure physicals attributes like damping and friction. For humans, dexterous manipulation of objects is a daily task, but it’s still challenging for ...

IFTTT follows the principle of “If This Then That”, which is a two-step automation process. It is great for simple home automation and getting your applications to work together. These apps and services dramatically cut down on the time and energy you spend on performing repetitive and common tasks, such as save your photos from social networking ...
