Researchers for the first time develop fully functional, programmable memristor chip. It can enable AI processing directly on small, energy-constrained devices, including sensors and smartphones. Memristor is a compact device capable of both...
The largest type of black holes — called supermassive black holes — have masses of the order of hundreds of thousands to billions of times the mass of the Sun. The mass of our Sun is 1.989 x 1030 kilograms, approximately 333,000 times...
The new deep reinforcement learning approach named DeepCubeA can solve the Rubik’s cube within a few seconds. The deep learning model can be applied to various other fields, including robotics and natural sciences. Artificial Intelligence...
Facebook has recently been in the news for a number of negative reasons, including multiple privacy violations that have made it the subject of much marketing debate. The Facebook/Cambridge scandal, in particular, had a significant impact on the...
Since the establishment of space travel, only three countries have been able to launch humans into space. The first person to travel into space was a Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin in 1961, who orbited the earth in the Vostok 1 on April 12, 1961...
Asynchronously Coded Electronic Skin can sense pressure, temperature, and humidity with ultra-high precision and responsiveness. It can detect touch 1,000 times faster than the human sensory nervous system. It can be integrated with artificial...
Whenever we hear the word ‘shark’ our minds automatically picture a large, scary underwater monster that could tear us apart in a blink of an eye. Credit to ‘Jaws’ but it is not quite the actual reality. There are more than...
Einstein’s theory of general relativity might not be the only correct explanation of gravity’s role in the formation and evolution of the universe. Supercomputer simulations show that galaxies could still form in the universe under...
The new deep learning model named MelNet can produce human intonation with uncanny accuracy. Once trained, it can regenerate anybody’s voice over a few seconds. Researchers demonstrate how precisely it can clone Bill Gates’ voice. ...
The new technique can image the structural changes of individual molecules upon charging with unprecedented resolution. It can resolve minute changes in aromaticity, adsorption geometry, and bond-order relations. Charging and discharging of a...
The term ‘nanotechnology’ was first coined by Professor Norio Taniguchi in 1974. He was describing semiconductor processes that exhibit characteristic control on the order of a nanometer. How small is one nanometer? The human hair is...
Researchers measure the current system responsible for Jupiter’s powerful auroras, using data obtained from Juno. They found Jupiter’s auroras are mostly powered by alternating currents, instead of direct currents. Jupiter’s...
