Higher terahertz frequencies are usable for data transmission which will boost data 100 times over microwaves

Worse this has bankrolled monopoly enterprises outside the control of any government. One could almost tolerate all this, except the guiding minds are naturally fascists and believe the human population must decline to around 500,000,000 or that ele

The Planetary Resources Arkyd-6 spacecraft was launched and deployed in space. This 6U cubesat is packed with power including 17 computing elements.

Neuromorphic computing researchers have been working on the development of memory resistors, or memristors, which are resistors in a circuit that 'remember' their state even if you lose power.

They may be modeled on the human brain, but neural networks are far better than we are at sorting through huge amounts of data and identifying patterns.

Prediction 1: By the end of 2021, 25% of global manufacturers will apply machine learning to data across product development, supply chain, manufacturing, and service for more rapid decision support, improved quality, differentiated products, and inn

WPA3 promises better authentication, stronger encryption and protection for open networks.

Last week, two substantial software flaws were unearthed to the technological public to much alarm. The vulnerabilities, dubbed Meltdown and Spectre by their finders, exploit weaknesses in the computer processors (CPUs) used in most of the world's

D-Wave Systems has commercially sold 2000 qubit quantum annealing systems.

With more than 9 billion transistors, Nvidia's Xavier is the most complex system on a chip ever created, representing the work of more than 2,000 NVIDIA engineers over a four-year period, and an investment of $2 billion in research and development.

At CES 2018, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich announced the successful design, fabrication and delivery of a 49-qubit superconducting quantum test chip.

While Facebook has become an everyday part of life for hundreds of millions of people across the world, many of those active on the platform are blissfully unaware of the vast amounts of personal data the company aggregates about them.

personal privacy goodbye...(Natural News) We live in a society that is obsessed with oversharing. While it's becoming increasingly difficult to tune out the trivial bits of people's lives that we don't care about, we can still choose not to sig

Daniel Gruss didn't sleep much the night he hacked his own computer and exposed a flaw in most of the chips made in the past two decades by hardware giant Intel, something we discussed in "Why The Implications Of The Intel "Bug" Are Staggering."

Adversarial objects, for your face. In the not-too-distant future, we'll have plenty of reasons to want protect ourselves from facial detection software. Even now, companies from Facebook to the NFL and Pornhub already use this technology to identi

Japan Tsubame, Super Low Altitude Test Satellite, is a JAXA satellite intended to demonstrate operations in very low Earth orbit (below 200 km), using ion engines to cancel out aerodynamic drag and equipped with sensors to determine atomic oxygen den

Here's a fun drinking game: Every time someone compares AI to the human brain, take a shot. It'll dull the pain of such mindless metaphorizing--and serve as a reminder that you, an at-least-semiconscious being, have an actual brain that can make

The Parker Solar Probe will fly closer to the sun than any spacecraft in history, so it better be able to handle the heat.

University of Michigan researchers created a reservoir computing system that reduces training time and improves capacity of similar neural networks.

Japanese RIKEN researchers are trying to adapt existing the silicon metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) to integrate qubits with current electronics, offering the potential for scaling up quantum devices and bringing quan

The (noisy) 50-100 qubit quantum computer is coming soon. (NISQ = noisy intermediate-scale quantum computer).

OneWeb received permission from the FCC in June to deploy a global network of 720 low-Earth orbit satellites using the Ka (20/30 GHz) and Ku (11/14 GHz) frequency bands. Earlier in 2017, OneWeb started building a satellite manufacturing factory which

Like sandblasting at the nanometer scale, focused beams of ions ablate hard materials to form intricate three-dimensional patterns.

A new NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) spectrometer measures single photons with great precision.

Researchers detail an artificial molecular machine that moves a substrate between different activating sites to achieve different product outcomes from chemical synthesis.

Rigetti has demonstrated unsupervised machine learning using 19Q, their new 19-qubit general purpose superconducting quantum processor. We did this with a quantum/classical hybrid algorithm for clustering developed at Rigetti.

IBM, Dwave Systems, Google, Rigetti, Intel and others are computing to develop faster quantum computing systems.

OneWeb, the company aiming to bring the internet to the 31% of the world's population who don't have access to 3G connectivity, is moving one step closer to bringing its satellite services back to Earth.

In four hours, a robot taught itself chess, then beat a grandmaster with moves never devised in the game's 1,500-year history and the implications are terrifying

Your digital security, any sufficiently paranoid person will remind you, is only as good as your physical security. The world's most sensitive users of technology, like dissidents, activists, or journalists in repressive regimes, have to fear not jus
