Tech Xplore / Researchers report breakthrough in 'distributed deep learning'
Online shoppers typically string together a few words to search for the product they want, but in a world with millions of products and shoppers, the task of matching those unspecific words to the right product is one of ...
Tech Xplore / Reorganizing a computer chip: Transistors can now both process and store information
A computer chip processes and stores information using two different devices. If engineers could combine these devices into one or put them next to each other, then there would be more space on a chip, making it faster and ...
Tech Xplore / Study projects scenarios for water use reduction in thermal power plants using satellite imagery
Water and energy are closely linked, as current electricity generation methods often require water, and extracting water typically consumes energy. This connection between water and energy, also known as the "water-energy ...
Tech Xplore / Storing data in everyday objects
Life's assembly and operating instructions are in the form of DNA. That's not the case with inanimate objects: anyone wishing to 3-D print an object also requires a set of instructions. If they then choose to print that same ...
Tech Xplore / A contact lens that can show when blood glucose levels are high
A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in the Republic of Korea has developed a contact lens with a tiny LED light that turns on and off to show blood glucose levels. In their paper published in the journal ...
