Researchers from North Carolina State University in collaboration with Intel have come up with a method that significantly boosts the communication between cores of a processor.

Robots are already replacing some human jobs but in other scenarios, robots will be expected to work alongside their human counterparts. On cruise ships, for example, robots are being used to serve mixed drinks while in Japan, humanoid robots stand…

Scientists at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan have developed a flexible display with a unique twist – it can be cut and still retain function.

Microsoft has announced a series of small but helpful updates to some of its Office 365 productivity software. The new smart features will arrive in its Word, Powerpoint, and Outlook applications.

Despite making significant advancements in the field of medicine, doctors and scientists still don’t know very much about the human brain. In fact, much of what we do know was discovered and mapped more than 100 years ago so to…

The Obama Administration on Friday announced a $400 million initiative led by the National Science Foundation that will conduct research in the area of 5G wireless technology which promises to be up to 100 times faster than today’s 4G LTE.

A team of physicists from Temple University in Philadelphia have inadvertently stumbled upon a technique that reduces the fat content in chocolate without altering its taste.

Researchers with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Davis have developed an energy-efficient KiloCore processor that, as the name implies, features 1,000 processing cores.

Microsoft has agreed to purchase 10 million DNA oligonucleotides from a scientific research facility known as Twist Bioscience. The Redmond-based company is interested in testing the viability of DNA as a long-term storage medium.

The truth is, it’s a bit of a guessing game—even when you ask people their intentions. Nevertheless, as we enter the holiday shopping season, trying to figure out what devices consumers plan to purchase next becomes a bit of a…

A PhD student in MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence lab has designed an autonomous drone that can maneuver its way around obstacles while flying at 30 miles per hour. Creator Andrew Barry says it’s hoped the drone will help…

Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab are developing a device that can identify people through walls using Wi-Fi signals. The amazing technology, called RF-Capture, “can trace a person’s hand as he writes in the air and even…

As a group of Cornell physicists have recently discovered, atoms won't move while observing them. In their tests graduate students Yogesh Patil and Srivatsan Chakram locked a particular gas, consisting of roughly a billion Rubidium atoms, in a vacuum chamber…

Wearable tech may start staying on longer. As part of Microsoft's WearDrive project, researchers have found a way to increase the battery life of wearable technology, such as fitness trackers, using a RAM-based system that doesn't rely on a new…

Critics have been writing about the eventual demise of e-mail for nearly a decade. While some companies have indeed phased out the spam-laden form of communication in exchange for more modern methods, the truth of the matter is that e-mail…

Credit cards and other forms of digital payments may be convenient to use but of course, they leave a digital trail that can easily be traced back to the owner. Such is apparently also the case even when personally-identifiable information…

Research regarding new battery technology typically centers on extending battery life or reducing recharge times but that’s not the only hurdle we face. While not overly obvious, the lithium-ion batteries we use on a daily basis can be quite dangerous, especially…

Researchers at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, have developed a new method of treating graphene that could lead to smaller and more efficient batteries.

The Internet is ingrained in modern society. In addition to providing information and entertainment, it serves as the backbone of social interaction for millions. But how much do people actually know about the Internet and related technologies?

Using Google Glass behind the wheel might seem safer than using a regular phone, but that's not necessarily true. A new research has found that texting while driving with Glass is as dangerous as doing it using a mobile phone. …

Google’s search results have evolved in the past few years to include additional data via its Knowledge Graph and other sources. Recently the search giant was spotted testing out a new feature that added additional information to search results, and now…

Social networks are often praised for their positive qualities: reconnecting old friends, keeping people up-to-date with what’s happening in their friends’ lives, making it easier to stay in touch with distant family members, etc. But rarely do people discuss the obvious…
