Computer Science & Technology

Quantum physics analyzes a quantum system (QS) that has the ability to exist in a superposition of different states, simultaneously. Lately, scientists have developed computers, which are based on quantum mechanical principles, instead of classical physics.

Securing online privacy is important for every individual. However, the risks one should consider regarding privacy often come from unexpected places, some of which may even be unknown. One such privacy risk that users are only recently starting to consider is WebRTC.

Look at a slime mold - the last thing anyone would think of is a living thing capable of figuring things out for itself. However, this is not the case at all. Slime molds, particularly true slime molds, which consist of a certain form of an amoeba, need to be able to move around their microenvironment, even if to find food, avoid harmful stimuli and respond to other pertinent factors in their lives.

The main purpose of this research was to find out if some phenomena of quantum mechanics, such as the entanglement, could exist in living organisms.

“Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.” - Christian Lous Lange Imagine a world where email encryption or secure transfer systems, which seem to be invulnerable, can be hacked using quantum computing.

The theory of Darwinian evolution includes self-replication, mutation, and the interaction of living organisms with the external environment. Recently, quantum machines have started to mimic these actions by following certain patterns of biology.

Those interested in the evolution of transistor technology may be aware of the memristor. These products were developed, some years ago, in an effort to contribute to the world’s migration from purely digital to analog computing.

The paper ‘Ten Challenges in Highly-Interactive Dialog Systems’ was presented by Nigel G. Ward, from the Department of Computer Science, University of Texas, and David DeVault, from the Institute for Creative Technologies, University of Southern California, at the 2015 AAAI Spring Symposium in Stanford, CA.

In the field of science and technology, every action has a reaction. It is in this way, we, as a generation, move forward. The city of Atlanta, a few months ago, had experienced a ransomware cyberattack that paralyzed its government. The attack had a direct effect on access to government websites causing approximately 6 million people to be affected. There are still ongoing efforts to get these critical systems back online.

Up until now, the best memory standard you might have gotten for your graphics’ performance would have been DDR5. This is the highest value of double-data rate (DDR) type chips available to enhance video, multimedia or gaming, available on the highest end of devices.

The security of personal or important information from those who would exploit it for their own gain is an increasingly pressing concern for modern-day society. It is hard to stay completely anonymous for personal privacy on the internet these days. The browsers and programmes we all use every day may leak data that could identify or locate us; on the other hand, there are tools and strategies out there that can help seal these minor breaches.

A few years ago, LG showcased their new direction in OLED technology: a truly foldable (or rather rollable) display that could be manipulated consistently without losing picture quality or function. Now that it’s 2018, the company has decided to debut what may be the results of considerable development on this concept.
