Computer Modeling Could Aid Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Current diagnosis methods include invasive biopsy procedures that often lead to patients being over-treated or under-treated.
Approach May Simplify Quantum Computer Construction
Scientists have devised a new method that may put the construction of large-scale quantum computers within reach of current technology.
Risky Decisions Increase as Day Wears On
A study that looked at chess players found that their decision-making edged toward greater risk-taking later in the day.
Messaging System Uses Household Chemicals
The chemical communication system relies on a binary code to relay messages. But instead of zeros and ones, it sends pulses of acid or base.
Protecting Your Legacy Equipment from Cyber Attack
A Rockwell Automation blog offers three reasons for keeping security products and policies current.
Smart Light Bulbs Hacked
The worm spread by jumping directly from one lamp to another using only the built-in ZigBee wireless connectivity and the lights' physical proximity.
Satellites Measure Earth Movement Down to the Millimeter
The new automatic radar service monitoring Europe’s seismic regions covers an area of three million square kilometers in 200-meter blocks.
Insight: Interconnecting the IoT with Cloud Computing
As a rising number of devices are identified and connected to the world wide web, the concept of big data is forecast to grow exponentially. So are the pitfalls of traditional LANs.
Tracking Physical Activity via Wearables Data
Tracking physical activity is important because it is a key component for placing other health data in context.
Weak Control Laser Beam Could Boost Computer Chips
Researchers have developed an asymmetric metawaveguide that enables a weak control laser beam to manipulate a much more intense laser signal.
New Insight into Why Materials Break
Scientists found that a material's failure can be continuously tuned through changes in its underlying rigidity.
First Citywide Test of Radioactivity
A key element of SIGMA, which began in 2014, has been to develop and test low-cost, high-efficiency radiation sensors that detect gamma and neutron radiation.
Process to Improve Data Storage Efficiency
Researchers developed a process that may reduce the energy required for big data and cloud memory storage.
Automotive Robots Step Out from Safety Barrier
The brains of the smart robot are in software that processes waves and gestures, calculates all sequences of human motion recorded by the sensors around its working area and evaluates the results.
Chips Bridge Gap Between Computation and Storage
University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers are creating chips that can be configured to perform complex calculations and store massive amounts of information in the same integrated unit.
Japan Aims to Build a World-leading Supercomputer
Japan's proposed Artificial Intelligence Bridging Cloud Infrastructure computer could advance AI research and provide processing power for companies and academic institutions.
NASA Technology Could Smooth Flight Arrival Traffic
At the heart of Flight Deck Interval Management is NASA software called Airborne Spacing for Terminal Arrival Routes, which was demonstrated in 2014 aboard Boeing’s ecoDemonstrator aircraft.
WiFi Radio Advance Could Benefit IoT
The device has a range of about 50 meters and can transmit up to 300 kilobits per second.
Smart Cities for the Golden Years
Smart City technologies have the potential to enable the disabled and elderly to remain independent for longer, and live healthy, mobile lives. Standards are being developed to help meet these goals.
Network Traffic Visualization Tool Could Help Thwart Cyber Attacks
Researchers have created a tool that allows for the visualization of network traffic so administrators can more readily grasp the "big picture" during a cyber event.
