The Fraunhofer IGD in Darmstadt has developed a product to make it easier for museums to digitize their collections and is now cooperating with Danish camera manufacturer Phase One.

WorldViz just released Vizard 7 of its Python-based VR development platform that provides Python 3.8 integration, VR device connectivity, and data collection. The new version provides access to a range of Python community libraries,…

ROHM Semiconductor launched a 24-model lineup of 24V input, -40V / -60V withstand voltage P-channel MOSFETs available in both single and dual configurations targeting such industrial and consumer applications as factory automation,…

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder developed a new, low-cost wearable device that transforms the human body into a biological battery. Published in the journal Science Advances, the device stretches to wear as a ring or…

Electronic components in many devices are based on micro-structured silicon carriers, which have almost reached their physical limits and smallest possible structure sizes. Two-dimensional materials such as graphene, an atomically thin…

A central challenge of powerful quantum computing is the ability to build universal quantum computers from fragile quantum components. Quantum error correction (QEC) is used in quantum computing to protect quantum information from errors…

Systems that detect deepfakes, videos that manipulate real-life footage via artificial intelligence, can now be deceived. Computer scientists demonstrated how it can happen at the WACV 2021 conference online Jan. 5 to 9, 2021. Detectors…

Estimates are that by 2025, we’ll create 175 zettabytes (175trillion gigabytes) of new data. What about the security of sensitive data at a high volume? And how will we address problems from privacy and security to climate change and…

Purdue University just created technology that can replace Morse code with colored "digital characters" modernizing optical storage. Morse code goes back to the 1830s and it is antiquated given the amount of information needed to gather,…

How amazing is this? Researchers at Germany’s Chemnitz University of Technology developed a way to print long strips of paper loudspeakers that can roll up into a 360-degree surround sound experience more immersive than found in movie…
