Radar trends to watch: March 2021They’re looking for gender, age, emotion, ethnicity (via accent), and whether the user is alone or with others. Programming Over the last decades, APIs have evolved from complex (RPC) interfaces to REST to GraphQL, and in doing so, have enabled new business models based on…

Greek Astronomer Confirms Einstein with his Black Hole StudyThe first image of a black hole, captured in 2019 by the team of Greek astronomer Dimitrios Psaltis, has revealed more support for Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. “We expect a complete theory of gravity to be different from general relativity,…
Physicists Show A Speed Limit Also Applies In The Quantum World –“In our case, for example, this happens when the point of origin and destination are very close to each other,” the physicist explains. The study also involved scientists from MIT, the universities of Hamburg, Cologne and Padua, and the…
The Fourth Industrial Revolution – AI, Quantum, and IoT Impacts on CybersecurityHowever, the same constant remains true when it comes to bad actors: whatever the “good guys” understand about quantum computing, the “bad guys” do, too. Even MIT, while trying to “explain it like we’re five years old,” refers to…
From an Unearthed Time Capsule, MIT Discovers Replacement for Josephson JunctionsThis happens because, in the superconducting state, electrons experience a slight attractive force, causing them to pair up, which brings them to a lower energy state. Karl Berggen, head researcher on this project, says, “We’re doing fundamental research, here. The…
This last week saw MIT’s Future Compute conference with industry luminaries giving their take on what is happening in the world of Computing – not just Quantum Computing. Topics such as edge computing, high performance, quantum computing and of course cloud computing were the main stays of the talks from some of the world’s leading thinkers and technology businesses.
International Day of Women and Girls in Science: Dr Si-Hui Tan, chief science officer of Horizon Quantum ComputingToday, the 40-year-old is the chief science officer at a local start-up, Horizon Quantum Computing. “By the time I got to college, only 30 per cent of the cohort were female,” she said….
New Superconducting Nanowire Could Advance Superconducting ElectronicsKarl Berggren, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Berggren added that the Josephson junction “is fundamentally quite a delicate object.” However, in 1959, Buck suddenly died at the age of 32, thereby curbing further development of the cryotron. In…
Establishing a Women Inclusive Future in Quantum ComputingWhile classical computers are based on bits, quantum computers are based on quantum bits, called qubits. The quantum growth has given birth to ideas like ‘quantum computer’ and ‘quantum internet.’ In order to know better about quantum computing and women’s position in technology,…
How Quantum Computers Could Usher In a Golden Age of Computing PowerTheir quantum bits, called qubits, can each hold a value of 0, 1, or a simultaneous combination of the two states. “A quantum particle can act as if it’s in two places at once,” explains John Chiaverini, a researcher…
