Scientists develop a new organic, ultrathin solar cell that can be washed and stretched by half their length. It transforms sunlight into electrical energy with 8% efficiency, while being very stable in both air and water. A few companies have...
Samsung revealed the world’s first 85-inch 8K QLED TV that uses machine learning to convert low-resolution images to 8K quality. The TV comes with a built-in database that observes and analyzes million of pictures in advance. The technology...
Intel advances neuromorphic and 49-qubit superconducting quantum processor (codenamed Tangle Lake). Neuromorphic (codenamed Loihi) is a new computing approach inspired by how brain functions, which will make machine learning more effective. ...
Harvard researchers have developed metalens that can focus all visible light spectrums at one particular point in high resolution. It uses titanium dioxide nanofins that focus all wavelengths of light equally, eliminating chromatic aberration...
Researchers develop a new approach that enhances the resolution of time-of-flight depth sensors thousand fold. It uses ideas from interferometry and LIDAR that allow to capture things at higher resolution. The system has a depth resolution of 3...
The article is written and submitted by Rachel Wheeler. The idea of machine translation stretches back many decades. First, it was just a system for rule-based machine translations. Then in the 1980s, researchers developed statistical machine...
In this age of globalization, corporate social responsibility is perhaps one of the most difficult tasks for huge corporations. If you ask what’s corporate social responsibility, it is simply a form of self-regulation and integrity in a...
An Electrical Engineer found the largest known prime number in collaborative project. 277,232,917-1 is the new largest known prime number, which is 23 million digits long. The correctness of the number was verified by 4 distant programs running...
Our solar system could have formed inside a bubble of a massive star type called Wolf-Rayet star. These stars were nearly 50 times bigger than our Sun, and their cores were more than a million years old. Like supernova explosion, the life of...
Scientists develop a single solution of genome editing agent that partially preserves hearing ability. They have applied this strategy to a mouse model of progressive hearing loss. After 4 weeks, treated mice responded to 65 dB of sound, whereas...
Why do we love Linux? Because it is freaking awesome, right. Not only it’s open-source and free, meaning anyone can use it legally without paying to anyone, it’s also driven by millions of volunteers and Linux lovers so that any problem...
NASA will launch Parker Solar Probe in July 2018 to study Sun more closely. It will orbit as close as 6.2 million km to the Sun, reaching a maximum speed of nearly 724,000 km/h. This mission will answer questions like how solar wind is...
