TECH & INNOVATIONTraditionally, users had to access the internet via a dial-up connection and a modem (hardware used to convert data into signals, allowing it to travel up and down a phone line).
Seen as the future of computing, quantum computers have exciting potential for solving problems beyond the capacity of classical supercomputers. While quantum computers are still mostly under development, one sample has displayed the capability to work on materials problems.
Local police forces across the United States are looking into tech companies for a lesser lethal device for crowd control during rallies. Sound cannons, directed energy weapons, and projectile Kevlar cords may be used.
Hi-tech innovations facilitate human labor in many spheres eliminating time and efforts to complete multiple tasks. Advanced agrarians widely employ digital tools, equipment, and techniques that promote precision farming.
Engineers have successfully developed four-winged bird-like drones inspired by the agility of hummingbirds and insects. They were able to do this by reverse engineering the aerodynamics and biomechanics of the two creatures.
Fluffy, a dog-like robot designed by Boston Dynamics, has been helping Ford's engineers in Michigan. With impressive specs, Ford's processes have been 'more efficient and effective' without displacing their workforce.
Scientists are using 3D printers to create miniature human organs that will be used to test potential COVID-19 drugs. Bioprinting will help not only COVID-19 patients but patients with cancer and other diseases as well.
How secure are Twitter accounts? The recent Bitcoin scam from July 15 had exposed several major security problems. The investigation is still ongoing after hacking targeted accounts that were verified and high-profile.
Recent years have seen an explosion in delivery services that promise to make every aspect of shopping faster and more convenient. And while juggernauts like Amazon and AliExpress have reshaped how we buy everything from furniture to electronics, supermarkets have so far remained popular with consumers who aren't quite ready to buy their lettuce and steaks online.
Although the Pentagon has previously announced that they disbanded programs concerning unidentified flying objects (U.F.O.), reports show that it is not the case. UFO programs apparently reside within the Office of Naval Intelligence.
Drawing inspiration from nature, a group of chemists from Boston College developed a multi-catalyst system for converting carbon dioxide into methanol.
Building the giant Gundam robot started with a vision that seemed impossible. Through the hard work of some of Japan's top specialists, the vision has become a reality within six years as the robot is nearly completed.
The US and UK say that Russia fired a satellite weapon in space that can target satellites in orbit. The two countries said it was concerning, but Russia has denied these accusations.
Apple has announced last August that it will offer a phone with fewer constraints to allow researchers to identify security defenses without having to go through iOS standard defenses.
