There have been multiple attempts at inventing something similar to Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak but Canada-based researchers’ ‘Quantum Stealth’ could be the closes technology to it. A Canadian company named HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp has invented a new light-bending material dubbed “Quantum Stealth” that can hide objects of different sizes. In a news release, the company […]
The authentication process on smartphones has evolved over the years. What started as passwords, changed to fingerprint and facial recognition subsequently. Now researchers have invented a new biometric authentication technique that involves unlocking your smartphone using in-ear earbuds. Zhanpeng Jin, associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at University at Buffalo, and […]
The human brain is one of the most powerful machines in the world and scientists have not been able to create a machine as powerful as it. Even with artificial intelligence, it hasn’t been possible to create a machine as energy-efficient as the human brain. However, a team of researchers from MIT, led by Emily […]
Albert Einstein, the famous physicist, described quantum entanglement as “spooky action at a distance.” The phenomenon is said to occur when two particles interact and enter a stage where whatever happens to one particle immediately affects the other particle regardless of the distance between them. Physicists at the University of Glasgow, Scotland have achieved an […]
Biometric identification has become common as we see face, fingerprint and iris recognition in our smartphones. However, researchers want to take this a step further and the next body part that could help in “identifying” you is your heart. A device developed by the researchers at the Pentagon detects a person’s cardiac signature using laser […]
Chinese researchers have developed a new Lidar (Light detection and ranging) based camera that can snap photographs of subjects from 45 kilometers away. This is not the first instance of attempts at long-distance photography, but environmental disturbances like pollution hinder capturing subjects beyond a distance. Zheng-Ping Li and his colleagues from the University of Science […]
Every year, thousands of people lose their lives in natural disasters. A major portion of deaths occur due to the lack of communication between survivors and first responders as communication channels including cell towers get erupted. Five young developers who competed against each other at computer hackathons joined forces and have developed a project named […]
According to a study, by 2020 about 1.7 megabytes of data will be generated every second for every human on the earth. With such a humongous amount of data in circulation, we need storage drives that are highly efficient. However, the contemporary storage disk drives are based on decades-old technology. A breakthrough research has been […]
Who Need Keys when We have Human Implantable Technology- British Inventor Successfully Uses Microchip to Unlock Doors – Now you don’t need to worry about misplacing your keys because microchips are here to take care of them. A British creative genius Steve Northam has come up with a solution to use microchip for eliminating the use […]
A Wisconsin based firm that designs break room markets’ software has announced its plan to implant microchips in its employees. The company’s press release stated that Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) chip will be implanted between the forefinger and thumb of its employees. Therefore, Three Square Market has become the first firm in the United States to […]
Robotics is almost everywhere, and it is not surprising to see a team of six teenage girls has created a robot that will be fighting in the FIRST Global Challenge to take place in Washington DC in mid-July. But things have changed since the team’s visa application has been rejected by US authorities. Visa denied, […]
It is a fact that around 8% of the world’s populace cannot see colors properly, that is, some people cannot distinguish between colors the way others can do. For instanceIf, something has shades of red and green, it won’t be properly and accurately viewed by some. Medical science categorizes people as colorblind and non-colorblind individuals […]

The device, called […]
Quantum Computing- No More a Thing of Distant Future — IBM wants us all to use it remotely accessible Quantum Computer… for free! Researchers have been working to decode quantum computing for probably decades and it is time now to reap the fruits of the sowed seeds, that is, now we can expect to make use […]
White Hat Hackers show us how to Steal Crypto Keys from a Laptop in Another Room Sans Internet Connection Last year, it was revealed that hackers can steal data from any computer via heat and how some technologies can hack into an offline computer and phone. Now, Tel Aviv University and Technion researchers have discovered […]
Whenever your computer, smartphone device or any other Internet-capable gadget is connected to the Internet, there is always a risk of security threats. This is the reason why hacking has now become the norm. The privately funded organizations, as well as the government agencies, are using various cyber spy technologies and tools so that they […]
Have you ever thought of making some cool stuff at home? Well if not, you are about to learn how to make an electric train, not a real one but a cool one. If you think that it’s impossible to make an electric train by yourself, then you are wrong because simple components like magnets, copper wire […]
DARPA, the advanced research department of the Pentagon will be testing its latest “submarine drone,” that is, a prototype of SHARK (Submarine Hold at RisK). It is an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV). The deep-sea testing is a part of DARPA’s Distributed Agile Submarine Hunting (DASH) program whereas the drone testing is among the two phased […]
