Scientist Plans to Use AI to Understand Sperm Whales
Sperm whales are among the loudest living animals on the planet, producing creaking, knocking and staccato clicking sounds to communicate with other whales that are a few feet to even a few hundred miles away…
Google Says Its Artificial Intelligence Is Faster and Better Than Humans at Laying Out Chips for Artificial Intelligence
Google claims not only has it made an AI that’s faster and as good as if not better than humans at designing chips, the web giant is using it to design chips for faster and better AI…
Researchers Create an ‘Un-Hackable’ Quantum Network Over Hundreds of Kilometers Using Optical Fiber
Researchers from Toshiba have successfully sent quantum information over 600-kilometer-long optical fibers, creating a new distance record and paving the way for large-scale quantum networks that could be used to exchange information securely between cities and even countries…
Ford Builds an Affordable, Efficient Small Truck: The New Maverick
America’s love affair with the truck shows no signs of abating. The country buys millions of the vehicles each year; they’re the bread and butter of domestic automakers. But not everyone is well-served by the products on offer. Some might want a truck but are turned off by their ever-increasing size, particularly hood heights that hide small pedestrians. Others are put off by the poor fuel efficiency of trucks. Enter Ford. After blowing everyone’s socks off with its electric F-150 Lightning, the Blue Oval is back with yet another truck, but this one is small, efficient, and cheap—it’s the new Ford Maverick…
Quantum Leap for Medical Research as Microscope Zooms in on Tiny Structures
Australian researchers have developed a microscope that can image tiny biological structures that were previously not visible in what has been described as a significant step for quantum technology…
MIT Engineers Create a Programmable Digital Fiber – With Memory, Sensors, and AI
In a first, the digital fiber contains memory, temperature sensors, and a trained neural network program for inferring physical activity…
DARPA’s Latest Defense Weapon Knocks Drones Out of the Sky Using Advanced… Confetti Streamers?
As drones become faster, smarter, and capable of carrying larger payloads across longer distances, they pose a genuine threat if leveraged as a weapon. As a result, militaries have been developing anti-drone countermeasures to knock them out of the sky, including a novel new approach that blasts them with streamers…
