Exotic, 2D Materials Could Resurrect the Hard Drive

9 Μαρτίου 2022 by paulkokos

For about a decade, a range of materials known as “multiferroics” has been promising to lead the way to the ultimate memory device, or, at the very least, the ultimate replacement to flash memory. Multiferroics are materials with two or more co-existing ferroic orders, such as ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism. The…

Geographic Hints Help a Simple Robot Navigate for Kilometers

The way most robots navigate is very different from the way most humans navigate. Robots are happiest when they have total environmental understanding, with some sort of full geometric reconstruction of everything around them plus exact knowledge of their own position and orientation. Lidars, pre-existing maps, powerful computers, and even…

Spooky Action Could Help Boost Quantum Machine Learning

Machine learning, which now powers speech recognition, computer vision, and more, could prove even more powerful when run on quantum computers. Now scientists find the strange quantum phenomenon known as entanglement, which Einstein dubbed "spooky action at a distance," might help remove a major potential roadblock to implementing quantum machine…

UK-based AI computer company Graphcore made a significant boost to its computers' performance without changing much of anything about its specialized AI processor cores. The secret was to use TSMC's wafer-on-wafer 3D integration technology during manufacture to attach a power-delivery chip to Graphcore's AI processor.The new combined chip, called Bow…

Augmented Reality’s Moats Will Be Made of Money

The tech sector has always thrived on disruption. When Intel commercialized the first microprocessors, it devastated the market for mainframes and minicomputers, while simultaneously creating the far larger market in personal computing. Similarly, Apple’s iPhone left Nokia little option but to be acquired—and neglected—by Microsoft. Through such events, we have…

I Am Still Not Convinced That We Need Androids

Nikola is an android under development at Riken, a scientific research institute in Japan. Nikola’s job is to help researchers validate the accuracy of facial expressions, which it does by doing its best to make a bunch of facial expressions that, hopefully, can be identified by humans. It’s just a…

Robots Get Some Inspiration From the Moai Statues of Easter Island
