The Planetary Resources Arkyd-6 spacecraft was launched and deployed in space. This 6U cubesat is packed with power including 17 computing elements.

Neuromorphic computing researchers have been working on the development of memory resistors, or memristors, which are resistors in a circuit that 'remember' their state even if you lose power.

They may be modeled on the human brain, but neural networks are far better than we are at sorting through huge amounts of data and identifying patterns.

Prediction 1: By the end of 2021, 25% of global manufacturers will apply machine learning to data across product development, supply chain, manufacturing, and service for more rapid decision support, improved quality, differentiated products, and inn

WPA3 promises better authentication, stronger encryption and protection for open networks.

Last week, two substantial software flaws were unearthed to the technological public to much alarm. The vulnerabilities, dubbed Meltdown and Spectre by their finders, exploit weaknesses in the computer processors (CPUs) used in most of the world's

At CES 2018, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich announced the successful design, fabrication and delivery of a 49-qubit superconducting quantum test chip.

While Facebook has become an everyday part of life for hundreds of millions of people across the world, many of those active on the platform are blissfully unaware of the vast amounts of personal data the company aggregates about them.

personal privacy goodbye...(Natural News) We live in a society that is obsessed with oversharing. While it's becoming increasingly difficult to tune out the trivial bits of people's lives that we don't care about, we can still choose not to sig

Daniel Gruss didn't sleep much the night he hacked his own computer and exposed a flaw in most of the chips made in the past two decades by hardware giant Intel, something we discussed in "Why The Implications Of The Intel "Bug" Are Staggering."

Adversarial objects, for your face. In the not-too-distant future, we'll have plenty of reasons to want protect ourselves from facial detection software. Even now, companies from Facebook to the NFL and Pornhub already use this technology to identi

Japan Tsubame, Super Low Altitude Test Satellite, is a JAXA satellite intended to demonstrate operations in very low Earth orbit (below 200 km), using ion engines to cancel out aerodynamic drag and equipped with sensors to determine atomic oxygen den

Here's a fun drinking game: Every time someone compares AI to the human brain, take a shot. It'll dull the pain of such mindless metaphorizing--and serve as a reminder that you, an at-least-semiconscious being, have an actual brain that can make

The Parker Solar Probe will fly closer to the sun than any spacecraft in history, so it better be able to handle the heat.

University of Michigan researchers created a reservoir computing system that reduces training time and improves capacity of similar neural networks.
