The event is set to begin on August 19th at Tesla’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California. According to an invitation acquired by Electrek, it would include “a lecture by Elon, hardware and software demos from Tesla engineers, Model S Plaid test drives, and more.” The event, like Battery Day, will be live-streamed on Tesla’s website, providing investors, the media, and the company’s many fans with an up-close peek at what’s in the works. Musk and other business executives are scheduled to offer updates on the progress of Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving”…

A team of researchers discovered a vulnerability in IoT devices
Mandiant researchers discovered a security flaw in IoT devices that use the ThroughTek “Kalay” network. FireEye’s parent business has released a blog description of the team’s work in discovering the threat, which outlines how customers may defend themselves. ThroughTek has also issued a security advisory regarding the vulnerability on its website. Working with a team at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which has also released an alert on its website warning users of the vulnerability, the Mandiant team discovered that users of certain Internet of Things (IoT) devices…
Read MoreMagnets offer better control of prosthetic limbs
Researchers in MIT’s Media Lab have now discovered a way of controlling prosthetic limbs in a far more accurate way. After introducing microscopic magnetic perforations in the muscle tissue into the severed residual, the length of the muscle may be precisely measured during contraction and this feedback can be related within milliseconds to the bionic prosthesis. One of the biggest problems for amputators using prosthetic limbs is managing the prosthesis such that the same movements as a normal limb. Most prosthetic extremities are controlled by electromyography, an electrical recording method…
Read MoreIntel to enter PC gaming with it’s me GPU
Intel’s future consumer GPUs will be known as Intel Arc. The new Arc brand will encompass both the hardware and software that enable Intel’s high-end discrete GPUs, as well as several hardware generations. The first of them, originally known as DG2, is scheduled to arrive in Q1 2022 under the codename “Alchemist.” Intel’s Arc-based Alchemist GPUs will be available in both desktops and laptops in early 2022, with Intel intending to compete with both AMD and Nvidia in this space. While we don’t yet know much about the performance of…
Read MoreAir learning to train deep reinforcement algorithm for aerial boat navigation
Air Learning, an open-source simulator and gym environment where researchers may train RL algorithms for UAV navigation, was recently built by researchers at Harvard University and Google Research. This one-of-a-kind environment, described in a study published in Springer Link’s Special Issue on Reinforcement Learning for Real Life, has the potential to improve the performance of autonomous UAVs in real-world scenarios Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have produced extremely promising results in allowing increased autonomy in robots in recent years. However, most contemporary RL approaches are largely concerned with the architecture of…
Read MoreResearchers discovered flexible battery fueled by human sweat
Researchers at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have created a flexible and stretchy battery that is fueled by human sweat. The prototype battery is made out of printed silver flake electrodes that create energy when wet. The battery, which is 2 cm by 2 cm and is as flat as a little paper bandage, is attached to a flexible and sweat-absorbing cloth that is stretchy and attachable to wearable devices such as watches. The team of scientists tested its gadget with fake human sweat to illustrate its potential application…
Read MoreGoogle pixel 5a to launch later this month: Get to know the features
A new Google smartphone series, the Pixel 6, will be unveiled this year, and it’s likely one of the greatest improvements to Google’s Pixel line of smartphones ever. It’s speculated that Google will also release the Google Pixel 5a this month. According to a report by Android Police, Google is expected to launch its Pixel 5a smartphone on August 17. The Google Pixel 5a would have a rubber-like matte texture on the back panel. The 3.5mm audio jack is also anticipated to be retained by the firm. It is also likely…
Read MoreGoogle stadias first game coming on this august.
Amplitude Studios’ Humankind will be the first Stadia release to utilize a new touch-focused control system, according to 9to5Google, which was also verified by Google to The Verge. Instead of using a Bluetooth controller or gamepad overlay, Stadia’s “direct touch” is based on multitouch finger inputs, just like a regular mobile game. Google confirmed playing with direct touch in Humankind is a very seamless experience with the release of few screenshots. In-game items can be selected with a single finger touch, content may be viewed by holding a finger down, canceling…
Read MoreResearchers developed a soft robot chameleon that changes color in real-time
A team of researchers has created the world’s first soft robot chameleon that can change colors in real-time to fit its surroundings At Seoul National University. Nature Communications released an article on the group’s multi-layer skin design and its potential applications. To build their robot, the researchers began with a skin layer comprised of liquid ink that could be manipulated to change color by adding a little bit of heat to the material. As a result, the particles in the ink formed helical shapes that reflected certain wavelengths of light….
Read MoreT-Mobile investigating on the allegation of stolen information from it’s server
T-Mobile is investigating a forum post that alleged to be peddling personal information obtained from the mobile carrier’s servers. According to Vice, which reported the security breach accusation earlier on Sunday, the data leak includes information such as Social Security numbers, phone numbers, names, physical addresses, and driving licence information. T-Mobile isn’t mentioned by name in the forum post, but the vendor notified Vice’s Motherboard that the data came from T-Mobile servers. A portion of the data comprising 30 million Social Security numbers and driver’s licences is being sold for…
