Xiaomi’s today released a concept video on popular Chinese video site “weibo“. This is not the first time a foldable concept phone video has been released. We have shared Nokia’s beautiful concept phone video before on our post “What is Creativity”. The video’s has a description in chinese which is
Magic Leap is an American startup company that is working on a head-mounted virtual retinal display, called Magic Leap One, which superimposes 3D computer-generated imagery over real-world objects, by “projecting a digital light field into the user’s eye”, involving technologies potentially suited to applications in augmented reality and computer vision.
A quantum computer is a device for computation that makes direct use of quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. Quantum computers will harness the power of atoms and molecules to perform memory and processing tasks. Quantum computers are different from normal computers that
The big rockets get all the attention when they are launched into the space. But people generally ignore the important tiny stowaways known as CubeSats that accompany the rocket and drop into the orbit. They are roughly the size of a Rubik’s Cube and weigh only 3 pounds. They are convenient and
A Japanese inventor known as “Watanabe” has come up with a special pot that creates a whirlpool in the pan or heating pot and mixes the food thoroughly while it is being cooked. The pot would be amazing for cooking dishes like soups and curries which require continuous stirring to prevent clogs
NASA may not be sending astronauts on Mars but this does not mean that space exploration has stopped. NASA would still be unfolding the mysteries of the universe with its “Curiosity Rover”. The rover is expected to land on Mars on August 5th to search for traces of life on the
Needle-less technology in the medical field is not new but till now it was using compressed air to inject the medicine. But now a team of researchers from MIT has developed a technology which uses magnetic energy rather than using gas cartridges. It uses a “Lorentz-force actuator” (a small, powerful magnet surrounded by
DNA acts as a kind of read-only biological data storage device. Now biologists have managed to turn DNA into a form of rewritable memory, just like our computers. However, it’s not the first rewritable biological storage system to be made, earlier proteins which bond to DNA was used to do the
When we think of an Indian village it gives us an image of a filthy place with mooing cows, open drains and children playing ants and frog games. But, Punsari, a motley village in Himmatnagar, talks about wi-fi and optical fiber broadband network, its children spend best of their times in
By far one of the greatest challenges of sign language has been to translate it for everyday folk that wouldn’t know where to begin a conversation with the deaf. Cornell University engineering students Ranjay Krishna, Seonwoo Lee and Si Ping Wang — along with some help from Jonathan Lang — used their final project time this past semester
Here’s what’s not going to happen this year: the earth won’t end on Dec. 12; it won’t be swallowed by a black hole, consumed by the sun or get taken out by a collision with the imaginary planet Nibiru. Here’s what will happen: as of today, more people than ever
Teleportation, sci-fi as it sounds, is actually not fictional or even new; two years ago, Chinese physicists broke the then-current record for quantum teleportation by teleporting photons over 10 miles. But a new effort from that same team demolishes that record, beaming the photons over 97 kilometers. The physicists, working from
Researchers from the University of Leeds, UK and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology are say that magnetic bacteria can be used to create tiny computing components, or even the biological computers in the future. The bacterium is known as Magnetospirilllum magneticum which is a naturally occurring microorganism that lives in water. It uses
The startlingly realistic appearance came courtesy of AV Concepts, a company specializing in holographic projection technology. According to AV Concepts, the holographic return of Tupac required months of planning in conjunction with Dr. Dre’s production company. There are quite a few YouTube videos of the performance floating around, showing the
Google’s Project Glass demo is certainly the coolest hardware demo so far this year. Behind the scenes is something equally intriguing: artificial-intelligence software. The augmented-reality glasses, which Google co-founder Sergey Brin was spotted wearing sometime before, created a huge buzz Wednesday when Google released a video showing, from the wearer’s perspective,
The latest news published in Nature is that diamonds are a quantum computer’s best friend — particularly if they’re flawed. An international team of scientists sought out sub-atomic impurities in a 1mm-thick fragment of over-priced carbon and used these as qubits to perform successful calculations. A team that includes scientists
You use torrents to download all sorts of files and stuff, but you know that torrents are public and anyone can see the list of IPs assosiated with a torrent including yours. A bunch of programmers just did this and created a site http://www.youhavedownloaded.com. Where you can see what all
