It’s been another eventful 12 months in the world of technology. Further ground has been broken in the journey towards autonomous driving and the integration of technology in the healthcare sector. Plus the continued drive for smaller size, lower power devices.This has also been met with further concerns around data security as more and more ‘things’ around us become connected.

Research teams all over the world are exploring different ways to design a working computing chip that can integrate quantum interactions. Now, UNSW engineers believe they have cracked the problem, reimagining the silicon microprocessors we know to create a complete design for a quantum computer chip that can be manufactured using mostly standard industry processes and components.

In agricultural machinery when a standard rolling bearing is installed the prospects of long service life are fairly poor.It is because of this, that most high-end OEMs in the agricultural industry rely on customer- and application-specific rolling bearings from NSK.NSK´s Agri Disc Hubs are filled with a special, high-performance grease that is capable of absorbing high pressure and therefore last throughout the useful life of the bearing.

When Volkswagen unveiled its self-driving 'Sedric' concept this past March, some people couldn't help but chuckle. It didn't have anything to do with the underlying concept, which was that Sedric would be 'the ideas platform for autonomous driving in the Volkswagen Group'. Rather, it was the physical appearance of the car. With a wide body, a vertically elongated windshield and hanging wheel wells covering the tires completely, it looked like not...

Remember when the idea of electric cars used to be a fantasy? Something fromThe JetsonsorTron.I mean, who could imagine not needing to fill up a gas tank every 150 miles? The whole idea was ridiculous. Gas powered engines seemed like they would be the dominant force into the foreseeable future. By John Hawthrone.

Amper is a musical Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology designed principally to collaborate with humans on royalty-free mood music for adverts. However, following a collaboration with songwriter Taryn Southern, it is now in the process of recording her first album – I AM AI.The album is set to hit the shelves by the end of this year, and while the lyrics and vocals are Southern’s, the chord progressions, notation and instrumentatio...

If you’re like me, the weekly or fortnightly trip to the supermarket is laden with a potential minefield of pitfalls that range from mildly annoying to blood vessel bursting infuriating.

Genomics, digital patient files and real-time health surveillance – never before have we had access to so much health data. ETH researchers explain how they extract relevant information from this sea of data and the potential benefits for personalised medicine.

There is a great deal of excitement around VR headsets that display a computer-simulated world and AR glasses that overlay computer-generated elements with the real world. Although AR and VR devices are starting to hit the market, they remain mostly a novelty because eye fatigue makes them uncomfortable to use for extended periods. A new type of 3D display could solve this long-standing problem by greatly improving the viewing comfort of these we...

ETH Zurich researchers and alumni now working in high-tech industries or running their own companies met with other experts in New York City to talk about the disruptive technology of Blockchain and how machine learning brings both collaboration and consequences. Bringing together diverse perspectives, the ETH Meets New York symposia revealed the fascinating potential of these technologies as well as the ethical questions society faces as it adop...
