Nanorobots: Where We Are Today and Why Their Future Has Amazing Potential
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: computing, health, nanotechnology, robotics/AI
This post is a status update on one of the most powerful tools humanity will ever create: nanotechnology (or nanotech).
My goal here is to give you a quick overview of the work going on in labs around the world, and the potential applications this nanotech work will have in health, energy, the environment, materials science, data storage and processing.
As artificial intelligence has been getting a lot of the attention lately, I believe we’re going to start to see and hear about incredible breakthroughs in the nanotech world very soon.

Physicists just discovered a totally new form of light
Posted by Andreas Matt in category: quantum physics

Because of how well-studied and, well, everywhere, light is, you might assume that we’ve pretty much learnt all there is to know about it. But just last year, researchers identified a fundamental new property of light, and now a team of Irish scientists has shown that light can take on unexpected new forms.

McDonald’s is striding into the 21st century with the rollout of the “Create Your Taste” touchscreen kiosks, on which custom burgers can be built as well as full-menu ordering.
The kiosks are incredibly convenient and improve order accuracy, to which I can personally attest.
