Google's apparently taking a cue from movies like "Iron Man" and "The Terminator" in designing one of its upcoming products: Eyewear that displays data and information to the wearer. The Internet giant's glasses are in the late prototype stage, 9to5Google claims. They are likely going to run a versi...
Last week was the coming-out party for AMD's new CEO, and his core message was that the market was undergoing a shift -- and when markets shift, leadership changes. His point was that Intel's leadership was at risk and that AMD was poised to take over that leadership. The nature of this change is ma...
Someday, people whose ability to speak has been damaged by illness or injury may be able to vocalize anyway with the help of technology. Researchers at UC Berkeley have made strides toward translating the words a person thinks into real speech. The researchers used 15 patients undergoing neurosurger...
That invisibility cloak Harry Potter throws around himself to hide in plain sight soon may be fact, rather than fiction. Researchers at the University of Texas in Austin have demonstrated one -- sort of. The researchers hid an 18 cm cylindrical tube from microwaves by putting it in a shell of plasmo...
Peer-to-peer sharing site The Pirate Bay has set up a page hosting digital 3D mockups -- digital 3D files -- for visitors to download and print out on 3D printers. Physical objects, or "physibles," as Pirate Bay calls them, will constitute the next step in copying, according to the site. In the futu...
Researchers led by the University of Vienna's Stefanie Barz have demonstrated the possibility of using quantum computing to unconditionally secure cloud computing. The scientists' work, written up in the journal Science, essentially demonstrates double-blind cryptography. It consists of an optical i...
One of the things that unfortunately doesn't happen much since Bill Gates stepped down is a quintessential talk on what the future will look like, and I find I miss that. So, to fill my own need for such a talk, this week's column will focus on the interesting products I saw come out at CES and th...
Researchers at IBM's Almaden Labs have created a 12-atom magnetic memory bit, in a continuation of work on atomic-level memory storage first posited in 1959 by American physicist Richard Feynman. Disk drives currently use about 1 million atoms to store a single bit of information, according to IBM.
World-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking's physical condition is further deteriorating, and Intel wants to help the famous scientist continue to share his ideas with the world. Hawking, who at 21 was diagnosed with a motor neurone disease, has been confined to a wheelchair for much of his adult lif...
Corning will be at CES next week, but unlike most of the exhibitors there, it won't be debuting a sexy new gadget. Corning will be showing off Gorilla Glass 2 alongside the newest smartphones, tablets and other miracles in computing. Corning is not revealing much about the updated product other than...
Researchers at Cornell University's School of Applied and Engineering Physics have demonstrated a way to cloak, or hide, an event in time. The phenomenon is similar to what happens when you remove frames from a film by cutting and splicing, except that instead of losing data about an event, you hide...
This month begins the march to 2012 technology with the Consumer Electronics Show just around the corner. Vendors have already started prebriefings for what will likely be a cascade of announcements all happening in the same one-week time frame. This will be the last year that Microsoft keynotes or ...
LG Electronics will show off an 84-inch 3D Ultra Definition TV at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January. The world's largest 3D TV will offer 8 million pixels at 3840 x 2160 screen resolution -- four times that of existing full HDTV screens, LG asserted. Features include 3D Depth Con...
Imagine the paint on your house powering the electric devices inside it. That's a possible application of some research being conducted at the University of Notre Dame's Center for Nano Science and Technology. A team at the center lead by Chemistry and Biochemistry Professor Prashant Kamat has found...
IBM looked into its crystal ball and saw five technologies becoming ubiquitous in the next five years. While IBM spends most of its time, effort and intelligence in the innards of big organizations, the five technologies it sees on the horizon are very personal. For example, we'll be able to use our...
