The field of quantum computing is undergoing a rapid shake-up, and engineers at Google have quietly set out a plan to dominate SOMEWHERE in California, Google is building a device that will usher in a new era for computing. It’s a quantum computer, the largest ever made, designed to prove once and for all […]
The rise of artificial intelligence and impending end of Moore’s law means silicon chips are nearing the end of the line. Here are some alternatives. SILICON has been making our computers work for almost half a century. Whether designed for graphics or number crunching, all information processing is done using a million-strong horde of tiny […]
Cyber threats are growing in volume, intensity, and sophistication, and they aren’t going away—ever. And recent failures call into question the effectiveness of the billions already sunk into cybersecurity. How can government agencies reverse the growing gap between security investment and effectiveness? Traditionally, cybersecurity has focused on preventing intrusions, defending firewalls, monitoring ports, and the […]
In 2016, government systems integrators continue to battle a wide-range of margin-squeezing challenges that stem from decreased federal spending. They are tasked with developing demanding next-generation solutions in the mobile, big data and cloud computing areas. However, it is often difficult to deliver acceptable technology solutions within budget. The core issue is that it involves […]
Image Credits: DARPA We all are aware of what submarines are capable of. In the past submarines were the biggest factors which shaped-up the war. Now with technological advancements, the US Military have introduced its very own unmanned submarine hunter. The ocean’s newest predator, a robotic ship designed to help the U.S. military hunt enemy submarines, […]
A new “atomic memory” device that encodes data atom by atom can store hundreds of times more data than current hard disks can, a new study finds. “You would need just the area of a postage stamp to write out all books ever written,” said study senior author Sander Otte, a physicist at the Delft […]
The Internet is a busy place. Every second, approximately 6,000 tweets are tweeted; more than 40,000 Google queries are searched; and more than 2 million emails are sent, according to Internet Live Stats, a website of the international Real Time Statistics Project. But these statistics only hint at the size of the Web. As of […]
Since the game’s US launch last week, I have personally seen plenty of people on the streets playing Pokémon Go and from what I’ve heard, many can say the same. Based on some initial data, it seems that pretty much no technology comes close to the rate of adoption that this single app has seen in the past few days. […]
COMPUTERS still do some things very poorly. Even when they pool their memory and processors in powerful networks, they remain unevenly intelligent. Things that humans do with little conscious thought, such as recognizing patterns or meanings in images, language or concepts, only baffle the machines. These lacunae in computers’ abilities would be of interest only […]
From farming to mining to building, the increasing availability of drones and the information they can map is changing how companies do business. Businesses are learning that sometimes the best way to boost the bottom line is by reaching for the sky. Commercial drone usage across a wide variety of industries is exploding as businesses take […]
