5:40 P.M. UPDATE: Spectrum has issued a statement saying a massive outage of its internet, phone and cable TV service across the state is due to damage caused by Hurricane Beryl. “The outage is due to a third-party infrastructure issue caused by the impact of Hurricane Beryl,” the company said at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. “We apologize for the inconvenience and are working with the third party to resolve this as quickly as possible.” The Bexar County…
Now, you can have almost ‘any text on your phone’ read to you in the voices of legendary actors. But many are disturbed by the idea.
Researchers have developed a genetic algorithm for designing phononic crystal nanostructures, significantly advancing quantum computing and communications.
The new method, validated through experiments, allows precise control of acoustic wave propagation, promising improvements in devices like smartphones and quantum computers.
Quantum Computing Revolution
Authy’s 2FA app has been hacked and as many as 33 million cellphone numbers have been stolen.
What if we could find a way to make electric currents flow, without energy loss? A promising approach for this involves using materials known as topological insulators. They are known to exist in one (wire), two (sheet) and three (cube) dimensions; all with different possible applications in electronic devices.
Theoretical physicists at Utrecht University, together with experimentalists at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, have discovered that topological insulators may also exist at 1.58 dimensions, and that these could be used for energy-efficient information processing. Their study was published in Nature Physics.
Classical bits, the units of computer operation, are based on electric currents: electrons running means 1, no electrons running means 0. With a combination of 0’s and 1’s, one can build all the devices that you use in your daily life, from cellphones to computers. However, while running, these electrons meet defects and impurities in the material, and lose energy. This is what happens when your device gets warm: the energy is converted into heat, and so your battery is drained faster.
I have been off Facebook, and didn’t want to return, but I came across a lighthearted post in which technology “safeguarded a human life” we are experiencing alot of censorship where I live because youth have used technology in interesting ways to take on a Government.
A Samsung Galaxy A10s phone has emerged as the unlikely hero for taking a bullet for a protestor and earning the title of ‘lifesaver.’
Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas and Seoul National University have developed an imager chip inspired by Superman’s X-ray vision that could be used in mobile devices to make it possible to detect objects inside packages or behind walls.
Chip-enabled cellphones might be used to find studs, wooden beams or wiring behind walls, cracks in pipes, or outlines of contents in envelopes and packages. The technology also could have medical applications.
The researchers first demonstrated the imaging technology in a 2022 study. Their latest paper, published in the March print edition of IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology, shows how researchers solved one of their biggest challenges: making the technology small enough for handheld mobile devices while improving image quality.
Receiver blocks interference early:
MIT researchers also state that the interference-blocking components can be switched on and off as needed to conserve energy.
