This is seriously cool. American aerospace company Orbital ATK has tested a 3D-printed hypersonic engine combustor, one that could supposedly be used in a high-speed plane known as a scramjet.
Harvard University has been awarded $28 million (£19m) to investigate why brains are so much better at learning and retaining information than artificial intelligence. The award, from the Intelligence Advanced Projects Activity (IARPA), could help make AI systems faster, smarter and more like human brains.
Dieter Zetsche, chairman of the board for Daimler AG and head of Mercedes-Benz, came back from a recent visit to Silicon Valley with the impression that Google and Apple are farther along with their automotive projects than he had assumed.
Artificially intelligent robots are only in their infancy, but Davos is already blaming them for the future destruction of jobs, the middle class and even the human race. However, some people at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) think robots are getting an unfair hearing.
DARPA wants to develop a tiny device that would translate the electrochemical language of the brain into the 1s and 0s of computers.
Until now, medicine has been a prestigious and often extremely lucrative career choice. But in the near future, will we need as many doctors as we have now? Are we going to see significant medical unemployment in the coming decade?
This future aircraft concept is centered around connected human experiences. Slick entertainment screens, fascinating LED light displays and doors that raise from floor to ceiling are some of the concepts in Boeing’s aeroplane of the future.
Indium tin oxide, the transparent conductor currently used for more than 90% of the display market, is costly. Scientists have discovered a new possibility.
Elon Musk is known for saying, as well as doing, some incredible things. The eccentric owner of SpaceX, who is still riding high on his company's historic vertical rocket landing, has commented once again on the Tesla.
Commercial space tourism seems to be dragging its heels after the initial excitement. No doubt it's coming within the next couple of decades, but while we patiently save up for the $250,000 ticket, this new space-themed rollercoaster-VR hybrid could be the next best thing.
New touchscreen technology that has the potential to improve display transparency and sensitivity has been developed by researchers in Switzerland , thanks to a specialised microscopic 3D printing technique.
Hyperloop Technologies has begun work on a Hyperloop test track -- the futuristic transportation system envisioned by Elon Musk.
3D printing was bigger than ever at CES this year, including a slew of new models from low to high end. Better yet, there were a lot more practical solutions showcased, and there is an emerging ecosystem to support organizations that need 3D printing capability.
BOULDER—The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) announced today that it has selected its next supercomputer for advancing atmospheric and Earth science, following a competitive open procurement process.
A team of scientists at the renowned institution MIT is looking to teach an automaton how to clean up after you in the kitchen.
