Is anyone else a little scared? The U.S. military is apparently very interested in telepathy and the possibilities for its use in soldier communication, so they awarded a contract for the development of a thought helmet device that could potentially aid in this endeavor.
The idea is that sometimes soldiers are in situations where they cannot [...]
Everyone in the science community must have uttered a sigh of disappointment today when word traveled that the Large Hadron Collider had been taken offline due to electrical problems. With all the talk of black hole creation and Higgs-Boson particle finding, it’s easy to forget this is a piece of technology, which can malfunction.
So this is nowhere near being actually produced at the moment, but this Cocoon concept could very well point to the future of the gaming industry if applied. If you don’t feel like you get involved enough with your video games, this could change that.
There’s been a lot of talk about the Large Hadron Collider this past week since the device was switched on. And besides the scientists getting death threats and various debates about whether or not the power of the collisions produced could cause a black hole, one thing is for certain: not many people understand just [...]
While we are years away from the sort of sentient AI depicted in the movies, that isn’t stopping scientists from working on getting some of the mechanics down now. Of particular concern is somehow preventing robots in all their metallic goodness from hurting people.
Scientists at the University of Pisa’s Faculty of Engineering are currently focusing [...]
Even though some apprehension led up to the device’s launch, the Large Hadron Collider was switched on today and it successfully fired protons around a 17-mile tunnel. Physicists celebrated all over the world as the “white blips” flashed across the control screens, indicating the protons had successfully completed their journey.
The Touch-Hear is an innovative concept that could potentially change the way we look and interact with the world. At the moment, when you want to know something you have to look it up. And while this has been dramatically simplified over the years–after all, you can look up information online now, where before you [...]
The Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland is all ready to be switched on September 10th, and while it could bring scientific breakthroughs, like proof of dark matter and other particles, some scientists and spectators are concerned that the device spells doomsday.
On launch day, the device will be turned on and the first proton will [...]
Director of consumer electronics at Samsung UK, Andy Griffiths, thinks Blu-ray may not have much time left in its lifespan. In fact, he believes the format has just five years left, ten at the absolute most.
And if we are to believe this analysis, Blu-ray would have already reached its peak. Since the players are [...]
A double-sided touch panel was recently shown at the 2008 Sign & Display Show in Tokyo and while it may look a bit primitive, it holds within it the potential to change touch tech. Developed by the Teraokaseiko company, we may very well see something similar to this technology in future PDAs and UMPCs.
