TLDR: The Vankyo MatrixPad Z10 has 1080p resolution, a lightning-fast processor and everything a tablet needs to compete with the iPad — at almost a third of the Apple price. While a 2020 spend indoors probably wasn’t your idea of a good time, there were some who took the COVID-inspired lemons and made lemonade.

Some weeks ago, a nine-year-old macaque monkey called Pager successfully played a game of Pong with its mind. While it may sound like science fiction, the demonstration by Elon Musk’s neurotechnology company Neuralink is an example of a brain-machine interface in action (and has been done before).

Liberals on Facebook are given one picture of ExxonMobil. To them, the multibillion-dollar oil giant sells itself as turning over a new leaf, exploring “carbon capture” techniques that put carbon back into the ground. If you’re a conservative, Exxon has a very different message: “The oil and gas industry is THE engine that powers America’s economy,” reads one ad targeted at conservatives. “Help us make sure unnecessary regulations don’t slow...

It’s safe to say we rely on algorithms, but do we actually trust them? Up front: Yes. We do. A trio of researchers from the University of Georgia recently conducted a study to determine whether humans are more likely to trust... Read more ›

The European Commission is set to unveil a new set of regulations for artificial intelligence products. While some AI tech would be outright banned, other potentially harmful systems would be forced through a vetting process before developers could release them to the general public. The proposed legislation, per a leak obtained by Politico’s Melissa Heikkila, would ban systems it deems as “contravening the Union values or violating fundamental rights.” The... Read more ›

If you’ve got a new Android phone, its processor could be more advanced than the one that will control the first-ever flight on Mars. NASA‘s Ingenuity helicopter, which is slated to make its maiden voyage on the red planet on April 14, is powered by Snapdragon’s 801 processor — the same chip used by a slew of phones released in 2014 and 2015.

Two walkways made from kinetic floor tiles have been installed at Leighton Buzzard train station, through a partnership between Central Bedfordshire Council and technology provider Pavegen.

2020 was a year of rapid adaptation. Companies quickly, at times haphazardly, pivoted as fast as possible to new digital solutions that would keep supply chains functioning, employees and teams connected, and products accessible to customers. In most cases, companies found that this quick switch accelerated their rate of new tech adoption and experimentation. Plans on the backburner to ‘eventually’ see how blockchain, IoT, or AI could be leveraged were... Read more ›

The world has embraced the fact that EVs are happening. We have accepted that almost 1.5 billion petrol and diesel-fuelled cars will be pensioned off because of what’s under their hood. But as we stand on the cusp of a new era, the sobering reality is that simply making the switch to electric is no longer enough.

Quasars are found throughout the Universe, but quasar pairs are rare. “We estimate that in the distant universe, for every 1,000 quasars, there is one double quasar. So finding these double quasars is like finding a needle in a haystack,” Dr. Yue Shen of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, explains. These newly-recognized pairs are the oldest of the 100 or so quasar pairs currently known to astronomers. The quasar pairs... Read more ›
