MIT researchers design a novel encryption method that secures data used in online neural networks

A combination of two encryption techniques may one day allow neural networks to have their computing cake and eat it, too. An article in Science Daily stated that the new technique improves the security of cloud-based machine learning without incurring any penalties in speed. Machine learning requires a lot of computational power. Convolutional neural networks, for […]

Future weapons: DARPA seeking innovative designs for insect-sized robots to compete in a series of tactical competitions

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is keeping itself busy these days trying to develop an army of ultra-powerful robot “warriors” to do it’s totalitarian bidding on the world stage. According to new reports, the Department of Defense (DOD) agency has requested that developers present their best, bug-sized robots, purportedly for use in an […]

The Pentagon is building technology that would allow troops to control machines with their minds

Transhumanism is well on its way to becoming a reality in the United States military, as the Pentagon has announced that it’s working on a new “neural interface” technology that would connect human brains directly to machines as a way to control them. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, also known as DARPA, says the […]

Researchers discover why there is a speed limit on the properties of light

Swedish researchers finally found the reason why we cannot alter the properties of light past a certain speed, even in artificial materials that are designed to do just that. In a recent article by Science Daily, they explained the discovery of the need to take a different approach to get past the speed limit. Electromagnetic (EM) […]

The world’s smallest computer is now smaller than a grain of rice – much smaller

Try this on for size – a team from the University of Michigan just reclaimed the distinction of having created the smallest computer in the world, exhibiting a unit so tiny, it’s “dwarfed by a grain of rice.” The computer measures just 0.33 mm on each side, effectively making a grain of rice look gargantuan next […]

IBM Research debuts an experimental conversational AI that argues with you

IBM was not satisfied with making artificial intelligence (AI) that can defeat world-class chess masters and Go players. An article on Venture Beat reported that the American computer company has just debuted an AI that can win arguments against skilled debaters. Project Debater is a prototype AI that is capable of two-way conversation. It can crack jokes, […]

Secure quantum communication could soon be available for all, says new research

It’s only a matter of time until quantum computers become mainstream; and when that happens, conventional encryption methods, which so many standard communication tools use online, will be broken. Now a team of scientists have developed a method wherein users will be able to communicate safely and securely between devices that operate based on quantum […]

New paddling submarine needs no engine or power supply

According to a report, a group of scientists has created a unique paddling submarine, which doesn’t need an engine, a power supply, or propellant, using only 3D. The researchers from ETH Zurich, who were led by professor Kristina Shea, collaborated with researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, California, to develop a new propulsion concept for […]

Computer scientists develop software that can look a few minutes into the future

An article in Alpha Galileo reported a development straight out of the Tom Cruise sci-fi movie Minority Report. German computer experts have created artificial intelligence that can predict what a person is going to do in a few minutes. The software program is trained by watching videos that depict the step-by-step process of an action. […]

Researchers develop AI system that can design and assemble themselves

It is worrisome enough that humans are programming artificial intelligence (AI) systems that might one day be able to think for themselves. Now, an article in Alpha Galileo states that U.K. researchers want to give the AI the ability to design, build, and reprogram itself in order to exceed the performance of human-designed systems. The […]
