Scientists of the Megaframe project in Europe have developed a CMOS sensor so small that it can actually go inside a neuron channel and look at the thought signals in real time. Not to mention the fact that it can do so in 1024pixels and at a photon resolution too. This means that it can [...]
After Cyborg Beetles We Now Have Sniffer Bees
Next time you visit an airport, there’s a chance of you being sniffed by, not dogs, but bees. Yes, they are now down to training bees to sniff and apparently it is proving to be extremely successful.
While the cyborg beetles in my last post are still nowhere near practical implementation, these sniffer bees are already [...]
Super Creepy Cyborg Insects Will Soon Spy On You
Pentagon has been working on a special type of technology that would turn bugs in to something that would really live up to the multiple meanings of bug. Okay, I will give it to you straight – they are working on something that’ll turn normal bugs in to remote controlled ones that can be controlled, [...]
Use spare processing power for science
A computer’s processor and RAM are often not fully used, especially, for example, at nights when files are being downloaded. Instead of allowing it to go to waste, one can donate their spare computer resources to numerous projects which use BOINC.
BOINC allows people to give a certain percentage of their computer’s resources to different causes, [...]
Computer Trainer
Stanford School of Engineering started their Stanford Engineering Everywhere program which provides full computer science courses on a newly created website. This is not only useful to computer trainers but everyone who is interested in computer science in general.
The available courses are divided into three categories which are Introduction to Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence [...]
Guy Builds Folding Farm With 51 NVIDIA Video Cards
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project to better understand disease development and currently under supervision of Professor Vijay Pande at Stanford University’s chemistry department. Everyone can join with his computer donating free computer cycles to the project. To make it more competitive users can form groups that race, just like in an online game, for [...]
Online Calculator eCalc
Every operating system comes with a calculator that provides access to basic arithmetic functions and probably some additional ones like base conversions and some functions of a scientific calculator. They usually do lack some features like a history function in combination with an option to use results from history for new calculations.
The Online Calculator eCalc [...]
