Intel Corporation today announced industry partnerships and products that lay the groundwork for faster, smarter and more efficient 5G wireless networks designed to deliver 'amazing' new experiences throughout daily life. From embedded devices in athletes’ equipment and drones with collision avoidance capabilities, to autonomous vehicles, smart cities and more, connecting 'things' to each other, to people and the cloud is placing unpreceden...

It can take Mother Nature 1,000 years to grow a forest. But Nikolay Strigul, assistant professor of mathematics and statistics, Washington State University Vancouver, can grow one on a computer in three weeks. He and Jean Lienard, a mathematics postdoctoral researcher, created the first computer simulation that grows realistic forests down to the branches, leaves and roots of individual trees.

Vuzix Corporation is pleased to announce that it will be demonstrating several of its award winning products at London’s Wearable Technology Show, as well as taking part in one of the AR Track’s panel discussions. Attendees visiting London’s Excel can experience a range of demonstrations of Vuzix’s consumer and enterprise products by visiting Vuzix’s stand (No: 266).

Smart cities use a mix of information, energy and social technologies for environmental sustainability, economic prosperity and livability. However, they need to be not just smart but agile, making technology choices that let citizens adapt and improve on solutions they implement today, according to Lux Research.

Guard From Above is the 'world’s first' company specialised in training birds of prey to intercept hostile drones, safely, quickly and accurately. Last year the number of drone incidents grew exponentially. Guard From Above uses the birds’ hunting instincts to take on this new and growing problem.

The newly-formed Drone Racing League (DRL) has just announced its inaugural season, with the first full race for the fledgling sport set to take place in late February. Other drone leagues and race organisers are out there, but the DRL is on a much bigger scale than the competition - the company has raised millions in investment from prominent sources like media corporation Hearst, CAA Ventures, and even Matt Bellamy, the lead singer of Muse.

Strengthening the smartphone’s emerging role as an 'always-on' personal assistant, STMicroelectronics has released two highly miniaturised 6-axis MEMS inertial modules with ultra-low-power design. The LSM6DSL and LSM6DSM enhance user experiences for digital cameras, wearables and remote controls, game consoles, drones and virtual reality.

Researchers from the University of Southampton have designed innovative membrane wings which have been inspired by the flight of bats. This could potentialy open the door for next-gen Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) that offer improved aerodynamic properties, can fly over longer distances and are more economical to run.

CES showstopper Intelligent Energy has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with a major drone manufacturer to develop hydrogen fuel cell powered drones. The deal will see the two companies work together in the first quarter of 2016 to develop technological solutions to increase drone flight time. The goal is for the deal to lead to a formal commercial arrangement for the solutions’ rollout.

In January, it was confirmed that St. Elijah's Monastery, the oldest Christian monastery in Iraq, was completely destroyed by ISIS troops after standing for 1,400 years near the city of Mosul. The race is on to digitally preserve thousands of other at-risk sites around the world before they meet a similar fate – but the work doesn't end there for cyber-archaeologists.
