While technological advances in artificial intelligence aim to augment or even restore human capabilities, experts are worried that this can one day cause more harm than good, making a “call for ethics” necessary to protect our privacy. Now that artificial intelligence and brain-computer interfaces are merging, we might not have to wait too long until […]

New paddling submarine needs no engine or power supply
According to a report, a group of scientists has created a unique paddling submarine, which doesn’t need an engine, a power supply, or propellant, using only 3D. The researchers from ETH Zurich, who were led by professor Kristina Shea, collaborated with researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, California, to develop a new propulsion concept for […]

A greener way to deliver: Drones save on transportation energy
According to a recent study, consumers could soon be receiving packages delivered by drones, which are being considered as a “green transportation option.” Researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LNLL), Carnegie Mellon University, SRI International, and the University of Colorado at Boulder have determined that “drone-based delivery could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy use in the transportation sector.” […]

A whole new kind of lie detector: Robots in the court room are able to tell when someone is lying
We often rely on lie detectors or polygraphs, but these devices are not always 100 percent accurate. There are other means to determine if an individual is lying, such as by observing micro-movements, or movements that we subconsciously make while lying. These can include anything from a raised eyebrow to tilting our heads. Now, a group […]

That didn’t take long: Children who use smart assistants like Alexa and Siri are foregoing manners altogether
While earlier generations didn’t grow up with smart assistants that made everyday life easier, kids today can simply command Amazon Alexa or Apple’s Siri to answer various questions. But this convenience comes at a cost, and these smart assistants “are causing young people today to forget their manners when talking to other people.” Childwise, a “leading […]

As scientists inch closer to fighting cancer with nanobots, would you embrace having programmable robots in your bloodstream?
Scientists and researchers from the University of Cambridge have revealed that they are currently developing nanotechnology that can “navigate” a patient’s body and help fight cancer. But this effort, while laudable, raises one question: is it feasible to develop this technology instead of merely promoting lifestyle changes that can also prevent cancer? Technology advances by leaps and […]

New level of intelligence: A new AI can teach itself with a “reinforcement learning algorithm” resulting in “superhuman” abilities within hours
It has been two decades since DeepBlue defeated Garry Kasparov in a match, but chess players were surprised by another development. The AlphaZero algorithm, a collaboration between Google and DeepMind, has recently shattered records. Even though DeepMind’s AlphaZero played against itself for only four hours, it managed to “synthesize the chess knowledge of one and a half millennium.” […]

Drones are causing more damage to airplanes than birds
Scientists from The Ohio State University are collaborating with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to assess the dangers posed by “drones that share airspace with planes.” The collaboration is part of a multi-institution study on unmanned aerial systems. In November, a research team from the Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE) published a report […]
