Researchers have taken an important step toward the long-sought goal of a quantum computer, which in theory should be capable of vastly faster computations than conventional computers, for certain kinds of problems. The new work shows that collections of ultracold molecules can retain the information stored in them, for hundreds of times longer than researchers have previously achieved in...

The term Big Data is everywhere nowadays, but what does it actually mean? According to a definition provided by Google, big data is ‘extremely large data sets that may be analysed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and associations.’ Sounds great, right? In theory, yes. Through big data, businesses can have a greater overview of their operations than ever before, allowing them...

Alongside the open source compilers for porting scientific applications to ARMv8-A, for the first time sits a new commercial solution from ARM, promising regular and targeted updates made specifically for High Performance Computing (HPC) and scientific computing users. For decades, Fortran has been and remains a leading language of choice for HPC and scientific application codes, a primary driver...

Sensors are critical components that are deployed in number of devices for different applications such as automotive, consumer electronics, IoT devices, medical and industrial equipment. With increased demand to automated products which can sense, feel and act accordingly has give boost to sensor manufacturing industry. According to a recently published report on Indian Sensors Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2018, the...

We are moving toward the era of smart labels which will show you the temperature of your coffee; your windows glasses will let you know the weather forecast of the day on the basis of weather condition outside. Printed Electronics is the new edge of printing which allows you to print electronics circuits, printing of resistors, condensers, spools, transistors,...

Imagine a future in which solar cells are all around us — on windows and walls, cell phones, laptops, and more. A new flexible, transparent solar cell developed at MIT is bringing that future one step closer. The device combines low-cost organic (carbon-containing) materials with electrodes of graphene, a flexible, transparent material made from inexpensive and abundant carbon sources. This advance in...

Walking upright on two legs is a defining human trait, but it’s one that can vanish in the blink of an eye. About 80 percent of stroke patients typically lose normal function in one limb, a clinical phenomenon called hemiparesis. Even patients who recover mobility with rehabilitation can have abnormalities in their gait that keep them from participating in many...

Are our machines turning into gods? So it seemed to 19-year-old Ke Jie in May. Jie, the world's best player of the world's oldest board game, Go, had just met his match… in the form of a program called AlphaGo. In the space of a year, the program had become "almost like the god of Go," said Jie after losing to AlphaGo. Jie had been...

Global professional services provider EY on Thursday announced the launch of first EY Hackathon in India focussed on blockchain technology. The initiative, which aims to engage India’s growing technology talent and developer community to address critical issues faced by businesses, will invite ideators, inventors and developers to collaborate and create marketable solutions leveraging blockchain technology. The hackathon, which is being organised...

Digital transformation, connected customers and increasingly hyperconnected business ecosystems are transforming manufacturing as we know it. Driving these changes is the fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0. This new paradigm in manufacturing, which comprises technologies like cloud computing, data analytics, artificial intelligence, connected robotics and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), is helping manufacturers enhance efficiencies, collaboration and...
