Special forces, or special operations forces are highly trained military units which are well equipped to perform unconventional or unorthodox covert missions concerning a nation’s political and economic interests. There have been many accounts of...
You might have heard the phrase ‘big fish must eat small fishes to survive’. There are numerous reasons why acquisitions happen: To increase growth in future To acquire patents/technologies To shut down a rising competitor in the market...
Every rock has specific mineralogy and chemical composition based on which they are characterized and separated from other rock types. Then there is texture such as grain-size which help researchers to distinguish them visually. In general, rocks...
A new type of rectenna made of a thin, two-dimensional semiconductor can convert WiFi signals to electricity. Researchers were able to generate 40 microwatts of power when they exposed rectenna to normal WiFi signals. That is more than enough power...
Supersonic aircraft is the solid masterpiece of military engineering. Over time, many different nations, agencies tried to materialize the concept of supersonic faster jets for their own needs. The flight engineers and scientist should not only...
The new cryptocurrency Vault drastically decreases the amount of data a user needs to join the network and verify transactions. It reduces the storage and bootstrapping cost for 500 million transactions to 477 MB, compared to 143 GB for Bitcoin and...
The one thing that makes Android superior to other operating systems is the level of customizability it offers to its users. Any file can be configured. Its open nature has encouraged a big community of developers to use the open-source code and add...
A new deep learning-based model can automatically detect and map informal settlements using low-resolution satellite imagery. It can classify what the spectrum of an informal settlement looks like, in a cost-effective manner. Nearly one-fourth of...
Physicists build a new model that suggests our universe may be sitting on a bubble expanded by dark energy. All particles in our universe are the endpoints of strings (as per string theory) extending out into another dimension. In 1925, an...
Researchers develop a contrast agent that makes MRI more contrast and sensitive. To do this, they created hyperpolarized xenon gas through an optical pumping method. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a tomographic technique that uses a strong...
New deep learning based system can automatically generate pictures from a long text-based description. Researchers demonstrated a network that takes a recipe as input and constructs a picture from scratch. Generating pictures from a short visual...
Researchers use Saturn’s rings to study the planet’s seismology. As per calculations, the length of one day on Saturn is 10 hours 33 minutes and 38 seconds. Measuring the rotation of Saturn is not as easy as it sounds. That’s...
