Researchers crack an RSA key that is 795 bits in size and has 240 decimal digits. The total computing time is equivalent to running a single computer core for 4,000 years. The calculations do not pose any threat to modern computer security. ...
Researchers design an experiment to gather a human perspective on moral decisions made by artificial intelligence. They analyzed millions of human responses and revealed how much ethics vary across cultures. We are entering an era where machines...
China builds an artificial sun that produces plasmas hotter than 200 million degrees Celsius. It generates clean energy by replicating the same process that powers the sun (nuclear fission). In China, power consumption and power generation have...
Researchers demonstrate a levitating volumetric display using ultrasound waves. The hologram provides visual, audible and tactile 3D content. It uses arrays of ultrasonic transducers that produce soundwaves to float and control a tiny polystyrene...
A new concept presents a gun-style elevated train that floats in the air instead of running on a track. A series of 65-feet tall magnetized loops propel the train at speed of more than 500 mph. It would be more efficient, more sustainable, and...
Researchers train deep neural networks on databases that contained three-body problems and their solutions. Surprisingly, the network predicts accurate solutions at a fixed computational cost and up to 100 million times faster than the existing...
A new algorithm generates the portamento effect between any two audio signals in real-time. It seamlessly blends frequency segments from one audio signal into another, without increasing/decreasing the volume of signals. Musicians use an effect...
New Deep Neural Network makes it easier for vehicles to see at night while ensuring other drivers won’t be blinded by the headlight. It dims individual high beam LEDs, creating glare-free zones as required by traffic patterns. Although high...
MIT researchers present a simple projection of the impact of climate change on silicon photovoltaic cells’ performance. On average, the output of the photovoltaic cell decreases by 0.45 percent for every single degree increase in temperature...
In 2016, the French government invested over $5 million in building a one-kilometer long solar road. The model has proven to be neither energy-efficient nor economically viable. The trial is now over, as the road has become cracked and damaged. ...
Researchers built a new software program to make biological analysis easy. It processes large datasets automatically and enables interactive visualization, fast and precise alignment, and real-time fusion. Modern light microscopic methods —...
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...
