The latest technology news and analysis from the world's leading engineering magazine.
- At a demo with live pigs, @elonmusk said that his company @neuralink had built a self-contained neural implant that can transmit detailed brain activity without the aid of external hardware. “It’s like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires,” Musk said. buff.ly/34EKRND
- Australian researchers have developed technology to beam lasers between satellites and ground stations to achieve a projected terabits-per-second bandwidth within two years.
- Putting a quantum computer into a data center is tricky. But engineers around the world are working on the task.
- Here's what @timnitGebru and @alexhanna are planning with their new AI research institute, @DAIRInstitute
- If there is a physical heart for Google’s many cloud services, it’s 16 huge data centers located in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. buff.ly/2YbIgDL
- This study found that if @_akhaliq and @arankomatsuzaki tweet about an AI / ML paper, that paper will likely end up with higher citation numbers.
- IBM has become the first in the world to introduce a 2-nanometer (nm) node chip, which it claims will improve performance by 45% using the same amount of power and enables it to place 50 billion nanosheet transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. buff.ly/3b7v2Bt
- Quantum computers with cryogenics are hard to get to 100s of qubits. But Canadian startup @XanaduAI says their photon-based quantum machine is room temperature, cloud-accessible, Python programmable, and ready to scale. buff.ly/3qnNcDP
- The 2018 Top Programming Languages: #Python tightens its hold on the number one spot and Assembly enters the top 10 buff.ly/2M6rvoD #TPL #softwaredevelopment
- Imagine flying an AI-powered, dual rotor helicopter, controlled in part by a semi-autonomous car. Now put that car & drone on #Mars. This is the incredible challenge of @NASA's Ingenuity copter, landing on the red planet with #Perseverance very soon. buff.ly/3qxqOsy
- Python, Java, and the C family are still the most popular first choices for programming, but backing one of them up with SQL is a smart move. buff.ly/3PK3rYo
