The new technique can make OLED displays brighter, with better contrast and longer life. It involves altering the chemistry of OLED materials in such a way that it produces unique polarized light that can bypass the screen’s anti-glare filter...
Planet X is a hypothetical planet that is located about 400 astronomical units (AU) away. It may take up to 20,000 Earth years to complete one full orbit around our Sun. The planet has not yet been observed but mathematical calculations suggest it...
According to the data provided by the International Monetary Fund, sixteen out of twenty nations that are sitting at the bottom of PPP per capita index are located in the African continent. Predictably enough, most of these countries experience...
The new highly compact camera can image polarization of light in one shot, revealing how light is reflected and transmitted. The camera enables 3D reconstruction of an object and measures its shape, depth, and texture. It can be integrated with...
A tesseract is a four-dimensional hypercube with 24 faces, 32 edges, and 16 vertices. It can be created by thickening up a cube in a fourth dimension. Although it is impossible to physically construct a tesseract, we can visualize it in our 3D world...
Researchers develop the first AI named Pluribus that can defeat human experts in a multiplayer game. Although it is specifically designed for the most popular poker format, it can defeat humans in other multiplayer games. The AI can be used in...
Indian scientists develop a new material — black gold — with unique properties. It can be used for various applications ranging from nano-heater and desalinating seawater to solar energy harvesting. Pollution has become one of the...
Minification (in programming) is the process of compressing code from the original size to the smallest size, without affecting the operation of the code. It involves removing white-spaces, new lines, comments and modifying some unnecessary...
The possibility of the existence of white holes was first suggested by a theoretical astrophysicist Igor Novikov in 1964. A white hole is a hypothetical region in spacetime, which is predicted as part of a solution to the Einstein field equations...
Researchers develop a new quantum algorithm that uses fewer resources to perform code-breaking calculations. A 20-million-qubit quantum computer running on this algorithm would take only 8 hours to crack 2,048-bit RSA encryption. It is certain...
The first AI simulator of the Universe is both fast and accurate. The AI model can simulate a 600 million light-years wide Universe in 30 milliseconds with a relative error of 2.8%. It’s quite surprising that researchers don’t know how...
Facebook posts alone can predict diseases like diabetes, depression, anxiety, and psychoses. Like genomic information, social media content is capable of personalizing health care. More than 2 billion people share information about their everyday...
