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 ...

Philips recently showcased a new gigantic member of its WOWvx 3D display, measuring a whooping 132 inches (335.28 cm). The huge size was achieved by combining no less than nine 42-inch Philips 3D displays in a 3×3 display setup. The ...

“NeuroSky” – a California-based company has developed video games, which can be controlled by… your brain. The technology, which sounds as if it came straight off the pages of a science fiction novel, is in fact based on recent developments ...

Digital interactive displays, which respond to human touch, have been evolving rapidly in the last few years. Dr. James Patten who works in the field of industrial design advanced the idea of interactive displays to a new level by developing ...

Electronic devices with stretching and washing abilities may enhance their functionality and usability. Belgian researchers are currently working on what could be part of our daily wardrobe in the not too distant future. Led powered by inductive coil embedded in ...
