The Alignment of the Milky Way’s Entourage, Explained
Astronomers are starting to understand why the dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way are aligned along a plane.
Which artificial intelligence applications will flourish by 2030?
By 2030, artificial intelligence will handle some of today’s more routine chores with great efficiency and some non-routine chores with greater aplomb.
UK scientists are developing ‘universal Covid jab’ to beat variants
British scientists are developing ‘universal Covid jab’ that would effectively beat all variants of the virus in as little as a YEAR.
Nottingham University researchers are working with Oxford-based cancer vaccine firm Scancell (pictured, its chief medical officer) to create the universal vaccine.
New skin patch brings us closer to wearable, all-in-one health monitor
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a soft, stretchy skin patch that can be worn on the neck to continuously track blood pressure and heart rate while measuring the wearer’s levels of glucose as well as lactate, alcohol or caffeine. It is the first wearable device that monitors cardiovascular signals and multiple biochemical levels in the human body at the same time.
A new framework for robotics applications that merges reservoir computing with origami
Reservoir computing is a highly promising computational framework based on artificial recurrent neural networks (RNNs). Over the past few years, this framework was successfully applied to a variety of tasks, ranging from time-series predictions (i.e., stock market or weather forecasting), to robotic motion planning and speech recognition.
Putting machine learning in your pocket
New EPFL/INRIA research shows for the first time that it is possible for our mobile devices to conduct machine learning as part of a distributed network, without giving big global tech companies access to our data.
Qualcomm’s new 5G modem promises 10 gigabits per second peak download speeds
Qualcomm rolled out its next generation of 5G processors Tuesday that the company says can deliver peak download speeds of 10 gigabits per seconds to smartphones, laptops, household Internet and private business networks.
