Breakthrough in “spintronic” devices for data storage and faster computing

The designs of consumer-centric computers in use today are largely based on old standards that haven’t been updated for quite some time – apart from all the miniaturization, of course. Now a group of engineers has shown that there may be an alternative solution for data storage and memory, and even computers in general, that would lead […]

Army scientists say they’ve found a way to block cyber hackers

Los Angeles-based researchers working for the U.S. Army announced that they have finally found the signature of the elusive Majorana fermion. According to an article on ScienceDaily, this theoretical particle will allow quantum encryption technologies that would block cyber hackers from accessing communication networks. The particle was named after Ettore Majorana, an Italian theoretical physicist who predicted its […]

Researchers find reliable method of storing light which could lead to new light-based computers

Imagine if you could make your computer 20 times faster than it is now. Thanks to recent research efforts by a group of scientists from the University of Sydney in Australia, you probably won’t even need to imagine it in the future, as it will become a possibility. The scientists are said to be the […]

A quantum approach to time could reduce memory requirements for future computer simulation models

Computer simulations are extremely useful for scientists who are trying to research by giving them the ability to use models that can make their work easier. Typically, computer models are developed by the scientists themselves while trying to work with the inherent limitations of whatever computer is available for their use. But new research suggests […]

Online shopping GOOD for the environment: Research shows we’re saving lots of energy by staying home

Technology continues to make things easier and faster, and that can be seen in online shopping and working from home. Moreover, nowadays, a lot of people tend to just stay at home instead of going out. A study revealed that even though online shopping is bad for social life, it is beneficial for the environment […]

U.S. Department of Energy finally decides to develop quantum computers after years of delay and avoidance

There can be only one winner in the battle for “quantum supremacy.” And the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has now, finally, made moves to ensure that it becomes that special one. According to a recent report on ScienceMag, the DOE has joined the quest to develop quantum computers in a bit to solve the […]

Social media is creating young criminals: Violent crimes by children are often sparked by interactions on social media, watchdog group warns

A report by the HM Inspectorate of Probation in the U.K. reveals that social media use has now become a contributing factor to serious violent and sexual attacks committed by children and adolescents. According to the report, young users are known to plot crimes online that would have been otherwise inconceivable in the past. Youngsters are now planning and committing […]

Screen time found to have direct impact on speech delays in babies, reveals new research

In an ironic turn of events (can you hear Alanis Morissette right now?), technology is seen to stunt key development growth in children. New evidence shows that the more time children under the age of two spend playing with their smartphone or any handheld device increases their risk for speech delays. The American Academy of […]
