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.
Traveling Over the Holidays? RFID Could Help
Improvements in baggage handling rates may not have to come at a significant cost.
Hardware Weakness Enables Operating System Attacks
By manipulating a CPU’s branch predictor to exploit a weak point in ASLR software, computer hackers could take control of individual, company and government computers.
Engineer’s Guide to Copper vs. Fiber
An efficient modular infrastructure is required to adapt to fast-moving business requirements, increasing port and cable densities, and rapid deployment needs. But which to use: copper or fiber?
Electricity Used to Track Water, Identify Concrete Degradation
The technology can determine where and whether water is infiltrating concrete, as well as how fast it is moving, how much water there is and how existing cracks are influencing the water movement.
Photos Used to Catalog Building Damage
The researchers have to train the algorithms to recognize scenes and locate objects in the images.
Could Bacteria Create Building Foundations?
Researchers are modifying E. coli bacteria to create a "gene circuit" that would enable the bacteria to respond to their environment by producing biocements.
"Clever Buoy" Uses Sonar and Software to Warn of Sharks
The system uses multibeam sonar transducers that are mounted on the ocean floor, together with custom detection software, to scan for shark-like objects.
A Solution for Phantom Load
All electronics have switches that turn electrical flow on and off throughout the circuitry. But unlike a mechanical switch, these waste small doses of electricity while they are in a waiting state.
90% of Cyberattacks Are "Known" Threats
Most attackers are targeting businesses using forms of attack we already know about and can defend against.
Wireless Device Alerts Drivers on Emissions
The device captures raw data from the vehicle’s engine and emissions systems and transmits it in real time to cloud servers, where it is processed into actionable information.
Laptop Charger Standard Aims to Reduce e-Waste
According to ITU, one million tons of external power supplies are manufactured each year.
Design for an Infinitesimal Computing Device
Key to the design is the use of a logic system called material implication logic combined with memristors.
Carpark Air Purification Reduces Particulates
Since the ventilation systems of underground carparks are in contact with the streets above, these garages have a considerable influence on the air quality in the city center.
IBM's Watson to Support GM's Updated OnStar System
Watson will learn the driver's preferences, apply machine learning, and sift through data to recognize patterns in driver decisions and habits.
