For most of us, a computer probably seems fast enough if it can run 8K videos or the latest version of Far Cry in 60 fps without slowing down. However, there are many complicated tasks that require billions of calculations per second –...
WiFi calling is a service that allows users to make and receive calls over a WiFi network using their existing phone numbers. It is very simple to use, and it doesn’t require any separate application or log-in. Making a WiFi-call on a...
Fracking, short for hydraulic fracturing, is a specific drilling technique that allows miners to extract oil and natural gas from rocks buried deep below the surface. In other words, it facilitates the recovery of hard-to-reach natural resources...
The new ultra-low WiFi radio consumes only 28 microwatts to transmit data at 2 megabits per second over a range of 21 meters. It could enable batteryless smart devices and completely wireless home setups. Despite the continuously growing popularity...
The new form of coronavirus named Covid-19 is spreading fast. inferVISION, a Beijing-based startup, has developed a GPU-accelerated AI tool to identify visual signs of Covid-19. It has already been used to examine over 32,000 cases at 34 hospitals...
Researchers built a flexible supercapacitor that delivers both high power density and high energy density. It shows no performance degradation, even when it is bent at 180 degrees. It can retain 97.8% of its capacity after 5,000 cycles. ...
HPC5 is a GPU-accelerated system capable of performing 51.7 million billion operations per second (51.7 petaFlops). Among the top 100 supercomputers, it would rank as the 5th most powerful in the world. It will help scientists study underground...
The new ‘smart’ diapers can notify a caregiver that it’s a time for a change. Unlike other diaper technology, it is both affordable and disposable. It will help track and identify specific health problems, such as signs of...
Microsoft introduces the Turing Natural Language Generation, the world’s largest model with 17 billion parameters. It generates abstractive summaries of text documents, direct answers to questions, and words to complete sentences. The model...
AI model predicts whether a given quantum machine will have any quantum advantage. It is based on a neural network that analyzes the network structure of a quantum system and gradually learns to predict its behavior. This will help scientists...
