Elon Musk grabbed a lot of attention with his July 16 announcement that his company Neuralink plans to implant electrodes into the brains of people with paralysis by next year. Their first goal is to create assistive technology to help people who can’t move or are unable to communicate.
Samsung’s expandable phone has only been seen in diagram form, and there’s no timeline for when we might see actual hardware.
A sustainable space program requires reliable, fully autonomous robotic systems both for maintaining the existing space infrastructures and for building new ones beyond low Earth orbits. Autonomy is particularly essential to near-future space robotic systems as they must operate in harsh and partially understood environments.
What better way to build smarter computer chips than to mimic nature’s most perfect computer – the human brain? Being able to store, delete and process information is crucial for computing, and the brain does this extremely efficiently.
It’s perhaps a little disturbing how often Stuff has written about the humble flamethrower. Elon Musk’s Boring Flamethrower is an…
You might not know it, but you have likely used a smartphone powered by MediaTek, with nearly 1 of 3 smartphones being powered by MediaTek. MediaTek believes that technology should be great and accessible, not expensive. That’s why MediaTek powers premium and feature-rich smartphones at affordable prices.
It’s been a busy month here at the Stuff offices. Nearly busy enough to make us forget that we’re giving away three LG Bluetooth speakers to three lucky winners. That’s one speaker each, rather than three speakers per winner. It’s important to be clear up-front. It save yelling later on. Though, to be very correct, it’s LG giving away the two Xboom Go PK3 and one Xboom Go PK5 speaker. We’re just being really, really helpful.
Despite their names, artificial intelligence technologies and their component systems, such as artificial neural networks, don’t have much to do with real brain science. I’m a professor of bioengineering and neurosciences interested in understanding how the brain works as a system – and how we can use that knowledge to design and engineer new machine learning models.
These days all text is digital. From writing an email to publishing a new edition of War and Peace, text nearly…
In this week’s Light Start, we’ve got Bill Nye’s science project, US Army audiobooks, Lego Apollo 11 )(in flight), and Disney’s next live-action remake
