A device that delivers electric current to the knees could help combat osteoarthritis, a painful condition caused by worn cartilage, after successful tests in rabbits.
Meta has just revealed their AI Supercomputer which is surpassing any of its competitors in terms of capabilities and performance. Meta AI Research is using data from sites such as Facebook and Instagram to train and improve its models in the hopes of controlling and influencing its users and for other future secret projects. What other dystopian things will come from this, one can only imagine.

Hydrogen, which has a diverse range of applications and can be deployed in a wide range of industries, can be produced in a number of ways. One method includes using electrolysis, with an electric current splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen.
If the electricity used in this process comes from a renewable source such as wind or solar then some call it green or renewable hydrogen. The electrolyzer in Zhangjiakou will use onshore wind power, Shell said.
While there is excitement in some quarters about green hydrogen’s potential, the vast majority of hydrogen generation is currently based on fossil fuels.
Sweeney responded: “Sounds doable, account and all my help. Any chance to up that to $50K?”
The 19-year-old cited college funding and told the billionaire the money could go towards buying a Tesla Model 3.
“I’ve done a lot of work on this and 5k is not enough,” Sweeney said in an interview with Insider. He added $5,000 wasn’t enough to replace “the fun I have in this, working on it.”
If a particle has no mass, how can it exist?
Scientists think that, under some circumstances, dark matter could generate powerful enough gravitational waves for equipment like LIGO to detect.
Four physicists share their journeys through academia into industry and offer words of wisdom for those considering making a similar move.
Now, the world’s first 3D-printed steel structure, a ‘living laboratory’ bridge, has been unveiled by a robot in Amsterdam. This pedestrian bridge with smart sensors will replace the old bridge under external restoration for the next two years.
The 3D-printed footbridge, which is over four years in the making, is the result of a unique collaboration between MX3D, software company Autodesk, chief engineer Arup, steel giant ArcelorMittal, the City of Amsterdam, and the University of Twente, among others.
MX3D made this design possible by turning welding robots with intelligent software into industrial 3D printers. The entire bridge is made of stainless steel and weighs 6,000 kg. The footbridge will be extensively tested by Imperial College London, with the help of the University of Twente, before being installed.
Our current 21st-century world and humankind; through a new set of modern, radical tools characterized as emerging/exponential technologies, stands at the verge of another technological, industrial and human ®evolution; a Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), and just as with the story of our origins, the future of this technological revolution lies again in the promise of Africa.
With its status as having the youngest population on Earth, Africa is strategically positioned at the forefront of the global race to be the 4IR powerhouse thanks to this vast resource of its digital and boundlessly creative youth whose limitless and undeniable technological drive, innovativeness and potential make Africa increasingly attractive to major tech companies and investors around the globe as they yearn to draw closer and tap into a force rapidly diminishing in the relatively more advanced societies of the world. Generation4IR-the deserving label for this emergent young, audacious, problem-solving, technopreneurs and cosmopolitan African breed-hence appears on the scene with a promise of igniting a whole new century of 4IR economies both on the Continent and across the globe.
Consequently, this minefield of human resources represents a critical base for whom the empowerment to ideate, create, solve for technological convergence, and establish lasting change and impact for the present and future of our species has become an imperative, and especially so as we transition to a Metaverse and Singularity world.
In the run-up to TAFFD’S Generation4IR Summit, South Africa 2022 themed Accelerating Our Singularity Future for Development in Africa, we at this moment invite ABSTRACT submissions for well-researched papers to be presented at panel sessions during this Strategically Inclusive Working Conference to provide scholars, industry players, decision and policymakers, and thought leaders with African youth-oriented intellectual analysis and contextualization, trusted strategies, ahead-of-curve insights, and emerging techniques to put exponential technologies to work for business, industrialization, and development.
Recognizing the potential of Africa’s Youth and as well presenting approaches for addressing the urgent and critical need to empower Africa’s Generation4IR as a medium for accelerating our Singularity future for development; both on the Continent and for the entirety of our human world, should form the core of the papers.
Elroy Air unveils its heavy payload, long-flying autonomous VTOL cargo drone, with 500 orders worth $1 billion already on the books.
Given that autonomous functioning, heavier capacity, longer flight time than most cargo drones, and VTOL operation, Elroy says the Chaparral will transform how express freight is managed in developed markets, and open the activity to many others currently shut out.

Cybersecurity professionals are already using this tech to identify new types of malware and protect sensitive data for organizations. The beauty of implementing AI systems in a cybersecurity strategy is that they learn as they analyze more data, so they get better at their jobs with new experiences.
The business world is ever-changing, and customer behavior is evolving. Managing the radical transformation can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be when you’ve got AI at your beck and call. Several SMEs and startups have leveraged AI to capture market share and establish their brand.
Soon, AI in business will no longer be a luxury — it will be a necessity. Companies that don’t keep pace with consumers’ expectations will fall short and lose market share. The only way to stay relevant is to adopt the trend.
