A designer picture frame seems to bend reality: Everything inside it moves in slow motion, seemingly defying the laws of physics. But, as with most mysteries, there’s more than meets the eye. Or, put more accurately, there’s more than meets the brain.

Whether or not they'll ever work, quantum computers pose a big enough threat to online security that cryptographers are already scrambling to adapt. Dan Bishop/Discover; background: R.T. Wohlstadter/Shutterstock; computer: Fenton One/Shutterstock Try not to panic, but quantum computers stand poised to upend today’s information technology infrastructure. These revolutionary machines, though likely at least a decade off, could handily crack the encryption codes that protect everything from email to online shopping and banking, even classified government documents. 

It's a quick way to find an airline membership number, a recent contact, or other refinements like attachments.      Google’s Inbox app is getting a few new drops of machine learning. A new search experience is appearing for many users that categorizes some of the items you may want to find, such as frequent contacts, your accounts with various companies, and other categories that may better offer up what you’re looking for.

Drive.ai is trying to address how an autonomous car would communicate with pedestrians. SAN FRANCISCO — There are plenty of unanswered questions about how self-driving cars would function in the real world, like understanding local driving customs and handing controls back to a human in an emergency. Now a start-up called Drive.ai, based in Mountain View, Calif., is trying to address how an autonomous car would communicate with other drivers and pedestrians. The company is emphasizing what is known in the artificial intelligence field as “human-machine interaction” as a key to confusing road situations.

A new robot stingray can swim with help from an unexpected source: muscle cells that were taken from rat hearts, a new study finds. Understanding how to build machines from heart cells could lead to scientists being able to build entire living artificial hearts  from muscle cells that would act more like natural hearts, the researchers said.

Researchers have developed a hybrid robot built with body parts from a novel source: sea slugs.

A troupe of more than 1,000 dancing robots showed off some Beyoncé-like moves at a recent festival in China, boogying and shaking its way to a new Guinness World Record.

Cybersecurity and aviation experts believe a growing number of commercial aircraft could be vulnerable to on board computers being hacked or taken over remotely by passengers with malicious intent. A report from the US Government’s Accountability Office suggested that very latest aircraft – such as Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner and the A350 and the

Distributor Rutronik is stocking a new range of high-side drivers from STMicroelectronics. Mathias Müller assesses the new functionality available in these devices. Electronic control units have an essential role in driving improvements in automotive comfort, safety and environmental compatibility. They are also establishing themselves in new application fields, among them assistive, entertainment and networking functions. Power transistors with integrated safety and diagnostic functions have been in use since the 1980s as

Technology has played a big role in changing the way how our children learn, get entertained, how they interact with friends, it has impacted their level of creativeness, and how they behave in  society . Today’s children  use more technology   compared to kids in  1990 . Many technological companies are inventing technological tools for kids. Technology has both positive and negative impacts on our children.

The key to any successful business or organization is  good managemen t. Many organizations and businesses use technology to manage specific tasks on a daily basis. I can define Management as an act of planning, directing, and evaluating any activity.

IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON SOCIETY: Technology and human life cannot be separated; society has a cyclical co-dependence on technology. We  use technology ; depend on technology in our daily life and our needs and demands for technology keep on rising. Humans use technology to travel, to  communicate , to  learn , to do  business  and to live in comfort. However technology has also caused us

Our personal life is highly dependent on the  technology  that people have developed. Technology has advanced with years and it has changed the way we purchase products , the way we live , the way we communicate , the way we travel , the way we learn and so many changes have been brought about by these continuous technological advancements. As people’s demands and life style change, the demand for advancing the type of technology we use is high. Almost every thing we use has been innovated to better standards, a good example is the ”Mobile Phone ”, the type of mobile phones we had in 1995 are no longer on demand in this century, the demands of mobile phone users have changed greatly, and this has resulted in the advancement of mobile phone technologies.
