The international team of researchers could speed up the modelling of large geospatial datasets with benchmark accuracy when implemented on a computing system based on highly parallelized graphics processor units. Computers can perform large calculations in a short time. But due to the constraint on the way the digital system stores data, calculation resulting in a longer sequence of digits will be curtailed. Accumulation of precision errors in geospatial datasets can lead to faulty modelling outcomes. The latest development in the field seems to be an elegant solution for this…

A group of researchers at cornel University has discovered that it is possible to inject malware code into Ai neural networks. The study says This way cybercriminals could access computer systems that run AI applications.   AI-empowered systems process a high volume of data to perform tasks assigned, but such networks are vulnerable to infiltration by foreign code. The team demonstrated it by embedding malware into the neural network behind an AI system called AlexNet, despite it being rather hefty, taking up 36.9 MiB of memory space on the hardware running…

Realme has declared their upcoming smartphone “Realme Flash” with some brand new features.  GSM Arena reported that the Realme flash will be the first-ever android phone that supports magnetic charging as it will come with Realme Magdart. It will clip into the back of the phone and charge the smartphone similar to apple’s MagSafe. Realme MagSafe consists of a fan to check on thermal and is big compared to apple’s MagSafe.The charging speed is expected to be more than 15W making it the fastest magnetic charger in the world.   …

The robot named Cassie developed by the OSU spinout company has made the headlines by traversing 5 kilometres in just 53 minutes. Cassie, the first bipedal robot was launched in 2017. Hurst the co-founder says” The dynamic robotics laboratory students in the OSU College of engineering combined expertise  from biomechanics and existing robot control approaches with new machine learning tools.” Cassie used deep reinforcement learning algorithm to develop the ability to run. The algorithm is a powerful method in AI that enables robots to develop skills like running, skipping, and…

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently developed a robot that realized simultaneous disinfection of both air and object surfaces. The technology behind this robot can automatically detect disinfection objects and control the positioning of the manipulator concerning users’ needs. It has been observed that the robot may have wide applications in medical environments, like Intensive Care Medicine (ICU), Disinfection Supply Center and Static Delivery Center, etc. The researchers used teleoperation and deep learning technology for training the robot to identify…

A study published in the Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets unfolds the effort taken by a group of researchers from Japan to check the viability of using microwave radiation for wirelessly transmitting required power to space rockets. According to the journal, the team demonstrated wireless power transmission via microwaves for a free-flying drone and recorded the efficiency of this process. Researchers used microwaves with a relatively high frequency (28 GHz) for the transmission. Kohei Shimamura, lead author of the study says, “We used a sophisticated beam-tracking system to ensure that…

Microsoft has announced that they will release new updates for the upcoming Windows 11 every month using the same practices the company has honed with Windows 10. Microsoft’s post to the Windows IT Pro blog reveals that it would continue to deliver what it had dubbed “quality updates” at least twice each month. The post further confirmed that security updates for windows 10 & windows 11 will be issued on the second Tuesday of every month. Regular updates may appear after the release of security patches. These optional updates contain…

China has revealed its plans to build the world’s first cleaner and safer nuclear reactor using liquid thorium & molten salt. The molten salt nuclear reactor is safer than the traditional one since the molten salt cools and solidifies quickly when exposed to the air, insulating the thorium. The reactor will be kinder to the environment because it would spill less radiation into the surrounding environment in comparison to leaks from traditional reactors. The experimental reactor will be capable to produce around 100 megawatts of electricity- enough to provide power…

Intel CEO Pat Geisinger announced his company’s revised process roadmap with a refreshing new naming scheme for next-generation nodes. The new road map includes all the products that are expected to enter for production through 2025 and beyond. According to the company’s new roadmap, Intel’s upcoming 10nm Alder Lake processors will be called “Intel 7”. Intel shared, “Under IDM 2.0, our factory network continues to deliver, and we are now manufacturing more 10-nanometer wafers than 14-nanometer. As 10-nanometer volumes ramp, economics are improving with 10-nanometer wafer cost 45% lower year-over-year…
