Welcome to the era of the machine
The 1950s gave us Stevie Wonder, it was a great decade for fashion, and the first television remote control was marketed. Additionally computer scientist Alan Turing developed a way of testing a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour, equivalent to humans.Since the Turing Test was first used, the world has become fixated on the possibility that, one day, a computer could function like a human being.
Does Faraday's Future hang in the balance?
At CES this year, a fairly new company Faraday Future, which is in an electric car competition with Telsa, went all out with its press event and revealed a mystery car concept.Electronic and car enthusiasts were on the edge of their seats in Las Vegas last month as it was revealed that it had financial backing fromChinese billionaire Jia Yueting, and had received$335m worth of incentives from the state of Nevada last month to build a brand new $1...
China sends out a message at CES
While discussing the subject of technology, we in the west tend to have certain pre-conceived ideas when it comes to China. A country that is still perceived as something of an enigma for some, and which has a reputation as nothing more than an imitator that indulges in counterfeit activity and tends to completely ignore intellectual property, whilst pilfering ideas from the US and Europe to reassemble on the cheap.
Coreless power conversion suits high magnetic fields
Powerboxhas announced the release of its coreless technology platform to power medical and industrial equipment operating in very high magnetic field environments such as magnetic resonance imaging or particle accelerators.
CES 2017: Live demo of super fast electric car
Shown off at the CES tech show in Las Vegas,Faraday says the FF91 accelerates faster than Tesla's Model S or any other electric car in production. But Faraday Future has faced financial difficulties and one analyst said it had to challenge 'scepticism' following last year's CES presentation.
Research reveals alternative to battery power storage
A piece of joint research between the University of Surrey, Augmented Optics, and the University of Bristol, has developed what the project believes to be a potentially transformational technology which could revolutionise the capabilities of appliances that have previously relied on battery power.
Tech predictions for 2017
While 2016 may be remembered for its unexpected political outcomes, technology news has also seen its fair share of publicity. A year that will be remembered for the forced ‘upgrade’ to Windows 10, the short-lived phenomenon that was Pokémon Go and Apple removing the headphone jack from the iPhone, has left 2017 as a year that must generate more positive headlines. Tech blogger Tom Jardine explains.
Sensor detects minute changes in magnetic fields
Researchers from the Institute for Biomedical Engineering, which is operated jointly by ETHZurich and the University ofZurich, have succeeded in measuring tiny changes in strong magnetic fields. In their experiments, the scientists magnetised a water droplet inside a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, a device that is used for medical imaging. The researchers were able to detect even the tiniest variations of the magnetic field strength wi...
Deep learning platform has world-class speed
Fujitsu announced it has developed fiveZinrai-related services that are being rolled out incrementally in Japan, helping customers accelerate their use of artificial intelligence. These services are based on the company's foundation of AI technology and knowledge, and are part of the "Human Centric AIZinrai" framework, Fujitsu released November 2015. Fujitsu is positioning these services on its FUJITSU Digital Business Platform MetaArc, which wor...
