Researchers at Singapore University of Technology and Design have developed a new 4d printing technique that can make complex structures in minutes. It can be used to create temperature-activated coronary stents, flat-pack furnitures, drug capsules and much more. Zhen Ding with his colleagues, has found a unique way to quickly print rigid 4d objects with a 3d printer ...
Almost 600 years ago, in 1437, a group of Korean astrologers discovered a brand new star near the constellation of Scorpius. They were able to witness it for 14 days and after that it faded from the view. Analyzing these ancient astronomical records, modern astronomers have come to a conclusion that what the Korean Astrologers ...
Our smartphones are packed with sophisticated and high end technologies that help us to do different kinds of work and to enjoy these features we have to pay money. But there is actually a piece of technology that is free and also extremely important for other features to function properly. It is called GPS or Global Positioning System. ...
Researchers at Facebook’s Artificial Intelligence Lab have created a new human-like bot. The algorithm is trained on tons of video conversations, so that it could analyze and learn how humans change their expressions in different scenarios. The study focuses on face-to-face conversations between an agent (animation controlled by AI) and human. The agent learns to alter its facial ...
Flying cars may finally become a reality and the company making this happen is named Lilium. It’s a thriving startup founded by 4 visionary aerospace engineers, back in 2015. The company wants to be the best and first to introduce electric VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aviation on a public platform. The German-based startup has ...
Researchers for the first time has discovered a phenomena know as ‘glitch,’ timing irregularity in a binary pulsar. When a star runs out of fuel, it collapses, and lead to a massive stellar explosion which is known as Supernova. A supernova ejects matter from the dead star in every direction while leaving a very dense ...
Researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology have developed an underactuated flying humanoid robot that has Iron Man-style jet propulsion system. These types of robots may have thousands of applications of its own like performing inspections or repairs, or might help in developing human flight exoskeleton. The very first step is developing control framework for underactuated flying humanoid robots. They have capabilities of ...
Worldwide, cooling systems consumes almost 17% of the total generated electricity and it’s also responsible for 10% of greenhouse gas emissions. With the increasing population, the demand for refrigerators and air conditioners will increase and according to estimations, by 2050 the rate will increase by tenfold. That’s a huge number. Right! So what we can do (at-least ...
These days, a lot of research is going on quantum computing. Engineers at University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney have developed something impressive – a new quantum computing architecture based on flip-flop qubit, which could make large-scale manufacturing of quantum processors a lot easier. With this new design, silicon quantum processor could be scaled up ...
A new, unusual artificial intelligence can detect sexual orientation from a set of facial pictures. Michal Kosinski and Yilun Wang at Stanford University have developed a deep neural network that shows computers could have significantly better “sex-detection-ability” than humans. The new AI algorithm can differentiate between gay and straight men with 81% of accuracy and 74% in case of ...
A bionic lens is an intra-ocular lens that is inserted into a patient’s eye through cataract surgery. It is developed to replace natural eye lens before cataract growth. Bionic lens not only provides perfect eye’s prescription but also corrects ‘higher order aberrations’, allowing the full utilization of healthy visual system. A Canadian company named Ocumetics Technology ...
We all use web browsers to get information, social updates and to know what’s going on around the world. If you are a Windows or iOS User, most probably you are using Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera. Yes, I did mention Internet Explorer because it still holds around 20% of the total usage share ...
