Lately, we've been considering how we could improve AI voice assistants such as Alexa and Siri, which many people now use as everyday aides. We anticipate that they'll soon be deployed in cars, hospitals, stores, schools, and more, where they'll enable more personalized and meaningful interactions with technology. But to…

You might think that GPS navigation is ideal for automated agriculture, since the task facing the operator of a farm vehicle like a combine harvester is simply to drive around the field in a serpentine pattern, mowing down all the wheat or whatever crop it is filled with. But reality…

In experiments performed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, researchers found that fluctuations in the electrical charge of multiple quantum bits, or “qubits,” can be highly correlated, as opposed to completely random and independent. The team also linked tiny error-causing perturbations in the qubits’ charge state to the absorption of cosmic…

The all-digital bank has teamed up with Microsoft to explore the possibilities of quantum computing, an emerging technology for which talent is scarce and tools remain immature.

Home News Televisions (Image credit: LG) For years, it was easy to decide between a small TV and a PC monitor – they had different kinds of inputs and served different functions. For computing of any kind you wanted a monitor; for watching movies and playing console games, a TV…

SynopsisAI holds great potential as a key driving force for the next phase of economic growth led by technological innovation and no nation wants to be left behind. Over 50 countries have announced national strategies on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Many others are rushing to do so. AI holds great potential…

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, scheduled to leave office later this year after nearly 16 years, is in Moscow for one final meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Before the two leaders met for talks in the Kremlin Friday, Merkel took part in a wreath-laying ceremony at Russia's Tomb of the…

The quantum computing market is projected to reach $65 billion by 2030, a hot topic for investors and scientists alike because of its potential to solve incomprehensibly complex problems. Drug discovery is one example. To understand drug interactions, a pharmaceutical company might want to simulate the interaction of two molecules.…

Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded that Western countries should not interfere in Afghanistan after the fall of Kabul, saying they "must stop the irresponsible policy of imposing foreign values from abroad". He also said he hoped the Taliban would "guarantee the security of locals and foreign diplomats" and that…
