Reducing the Massive Energy Appetite of Data Centers September 22, 2017
Researchers are developing new chips and approaches to reduce the power consumption of data centers, which accounted for about one-fiftieth of all U.S. electricity use in 2014, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Autonomous Vehicles' Future May Be Further Away, Different Than Imagined September 22, 2017
Experts think autonomous vehicles (AVs) may arrive later than expected, or in a different form than most people anticipate. Ben McKeever with California PATH says it will be at least 20 years a full rollout of self-driving AVs.
Scientists From the RUDN University Will Make Computer Networks More Robust September 22, 2017
Researchers from the RUDN University in Russia have applied a new mathematical model called a Markovian arrival process to the breakdown of telecommunication systems and electronic equipment that handles client requests.
Drones Can Almost See in the Dark September 22, 2017
Researchers at the University of Zurich and NCCR Robotics have taught flying drones to navigate with an eye-inspired camera, which could create a path toward operating in low-light conditions.
Artificial Intelligence Just Made Guessing Your Password a Whole Lot Easier September 22, 2017
Researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology used artificial intelligence to generate a program that successfully guessed 27 percent of the passwords from more than 43 million LinkedIn profiles.
Streaming on a Wireless Power Connection September 21, 2017
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a system that can deliver watts of power while also transmitting data at rates sufficiently high to stream video over the same wireless connection.
Choir: Bringing Harmony to Discord in the IoT World September 21, 2017
Carnegie Mellon University professor Swarun Kumar says networking the vast number of devices making up the Internet of Things requires a sweeping technological upgrade. His team developed Choir, a networking platform that could potentially be used to connect IoT devices.
An Extra Challenge in a Crisis: Dealing With Rare Languages September 21, 2017
