Microsoft, Qualcomm partnership will bring the full Windows 10 OS to ARM devices using emulation

“Microsoft will be hoping it’s a case of second time lucky after the company announced it is once again bringing the full Windows experience to ARM-powered devices. At its Windows Hardware Engineering conference in Shenzen, the Redmond firm …

New material could lead to erasable and rewriteable optical chips

“A military drone flying on a reconnaissance mission is captured behind enemy lines, setting into motion a team of engineers who need to remotely delete sensitive information carried on the drone’s chips. Because the chips are optical and not …

New ‘printone’ tool allows users to create 3-D printed wind instruments in any shape or form

“A research team from Autodesk and Dartmouth College has developed a new interactive design tool called “Printone,” which provides users with the ability to create functional 3-D printed wind instruments in any shape or form using interactive sound simulation feedback …

New sensor technology for e-vehicle batteries

“Batteries for electric vehicles are expensive. This must change if the vehicles are to establish themselves in the market. RUB engineers are currently adjusting one important element. Engineers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum have developed a new concept for current and voltage …

Open sourcing the Embedding Projector: a tool for visualizing high dimensional data

“Recent advances in Machine Learning (ML) have shown impressive results, with applications ranging from image recognition, language translation, medical diagnosis and more. With the widespread adoption of ML systems, it is increasingly important for research scientists to be able to …

Our brains have a basic algorithm that enables our intelligence

“Our brains have a basic algorithm that enables us to not just recognize a traditional Thanksgiving meal, but the intelligence to ponder the broader implications of a bountiful harvest as well as good family and friends. “A relatively simple mathematical …

Printable electronics - New stamping technique creates functional features at nanoscale dimensions

“The next time you place your coffee order, imagine slapping onto your to-go cup a sticker that acts as an electronic decal, letting you know the precise temperature of your triple-venti no-foam latte. Someday, the high-tech stamping that produces such …

Scientists create ‘floating pixels’ using soundwaves and force fields

“Researchers at the Universities of Sussex and Bristol have used soundwaves to lift many tiny objects at once before spinning and flipping them using electric force fields. The technology – called JOLED - effectively turns tiny, multi-coloured spheres into real-life pixels, which …

Scientists develop robotic hand for people with quadriplegia

“Scientists have developed a mind-controlled robotic hand that allows people with certain types of spinal injuries to perform everyday tasks such as using a fork or drinking from a cup. The low-cost device was tested in Spain on six people …

Self-learning software that builds itself

“Researchers at Lancaster University in England have developed a machine-learning system that can assemble code components into a program to meet goals set by the human developers. The resulting software can continue to learn and reconfigure itself to adapt to …
