Radar ‘closer to spotting stealth jets’ with Chinese quantum project

Posted by in categories: military, particle physics, quantum physics

Quantum radar was proposed as a solution more than a decade ago. Some quantum technologies, such as the entanglement of subatomic particles, could in theory boost the sensitivity of a radar.


Quantum particles in a man-made electromagnetic storm bounced back after hitting stealth object, increasing chance of detection, according to Tsinghua University team.

Segway’s robot mower uses GPS to stay on your lawn

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI, transportation

There’s no need to install a perimeter wire with the Navimow.


Is moving into the robot mower market with the Navimow. What sets this model apart from many others is that you don’t need to install a boundary wire. Instead, Navimow uses GPS and other sensors to stay within the perimeter of your lawn.

A so-called Exact Fusion Locating System can maintain Navimow’s position accurate to within two centimeters, according to Segway. If the GPS signal ever dips, the company says the device’s array of sensors and data ensure it will still work. You can tell Navimow where to mow, define the boundaries and instruct it to avoid certain parts of your garden via an app. Segway claims Navimow uses an algorithm to figure out a mowing path so it doesn’t have to criss-cross.

AI Can Predict Possible Alzheimer’s With Nearly 100 Percent Accuracy

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, information science, robotics/AI

Summary: A new AI algorithm can predict the onset of Alzheimer’s disease with an accuracy of over 99% by analyzing fMRI brain scans.

Source: Kaunas University of Technology.

Researchers from Kaunas University, Lithuania developed a deep learning-based method that can predict the possible onset of Alzheimer’s disease from brain images with an accuracy of over 99 percent. The method was developed while analyzing functional MRI images obtained from 138 subjects and performed better in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity than previously developed methods.

Perceptions of supernatural beings reveal feelings about good and bad in humans

Posted by in category: ethics

What transpires in comedies and cartoons when a character has a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other is not far off from people’s perceptions of the real world, finds a new study from the University of Waterloo.

Intended to illustrate the characters’ decision-making dilemma with comedic results, the moral character and motives of the supernatural beings are obvious. And people have similar expectations when it comes to individuals they see as good or bad.

The researchers explored expectations about how good and evil individuals respond to requests. The researchers were interested in understanding why movies and folktales often depict the devil and demons as eager to grant accidental requests, whereas angels are not depicted this way.
