Bosque language aims to improve software quality and enhance programmers’ productivity. It gets rid of sources of complexity like mutable state, reference equality, and loops. It is inspired by TypeScript and JavaScript programming languages...
A New AI model can fabricate talking avatars from a single image. Developers applied this model to popular paintings, including Leonardo Da Vinci and Mona Lisa. The outcomes have some visual glitches, but they are far impressive than previous...
Micro-Electro-Mechanical System, or MEMS, is a miniature device or machine that is made of both mechanical and electrical components, using techniques of microfabrication. The term ‘MEMS’ is often used for describing both a category of...
A proxy server acts as a gateway between you and the internet. It hides your real IP address from the resource server, adding an extra layer of privacy. It is mostly used for bypassing filters and censorship. If you have ever been a part of a...
The term haptic is derived from the Greek word “haptikos”, which means a sense of touch. The sense of touch can be categorized as active and passive. Haptic is mostly associated with active touch to communicate or recognize items. It may...
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is currently the most popular and widely adopted symmetric encryption algorithm. It was developed by two Belgian cryptographers, Vincent Rijmen and Joan Daemen. If properly implemented, the algorithm is...
The concept of quantum systems was first proposed by a Russian mathematician, Yuri Manin, in 1980. However, it was Richard Feynman who conceived the possibility of quantum computers in the early 1980s. Feynmann proposed that quantum computers would...
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. ...
