A research team at Sandia National Laboratories is designing cars capable of analyzing human behavior. These smart cars will be able to detect whether the driver is tired or not concentrated and take appropriate action to prevent dangerous scenarios. These ...

Another set of ground testing has been recently completed by the U.S. defense contractor Aerojet for the Hypersonics Flight Demonstration program (HyFly). The program, one of several ramjet/scramjet based programs supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has ...

Andrews Space & Technology (AS&T) introduced an innovative propulsion system that could significantly shorten round trips from Earth to Mars (from two years to only six months!) and enable our spaceships to reach Jupiter after one year of space traveling. ...

During the recent Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San-Francisco, Intel announced that together with its partners it is forming a “promoter group” to push for the creation of a new generation of the most popular connection standard ever created – ...

A research team from Sandia National Laboratories in the U.S. is developing a family of advanced permanently-mounted sensors that collect data about possible structural defects in support beams, bridges and highway overpasses. These sensors are expected to serve as an ...

Sony has developed a prototype of a new image sensor, CMOS (or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensor, which should provide continuous imaging from all pixels at the high frame rate of 60 frames per second. The new high-speed CMOS sensor is ...

In quantum computation we use quantum physics to compute. The use of physics in computation raises some deep philosophical problems concerning the relation of math to physics. It concerns the definition of the term ‘computer’ as a physical object. We ...

Researchers from the Netherlands and Japan have succeeded in flipping the value of a magnetic memory bit without any external magnetic field interference. Instead, they flashed a very short pulse of circularly-polarized laser light at it. This method is about ...

A Maryland based company is developing a new type of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) that can also be manned if necessary. The new aircraft also has the ability to operate in groups of up to 12 air vehicles, allowing for ...

Due to the overwhelming worldwide reaction to TFOT’s “Mempile – Terabyte on a CD” article and the numerous questions posted both here and on many other websites the company decided to grant us an additional Q&A published here for the ...
