Nach den Träumen der Forscher von Disney Research muss man künftig sein Smartphone nicht mehr über eine Ladestation mit Strom versorgen, sondern kann es einfach irgendwo in einem Raum mit Magnetfeld nutzen.

Kabelloses, induktives Laden von Mobilgeräten wie Smartphones und smarten Armbanduhren ist ja ein alter Hut. Ganz ohne Kabel kommt man dann aber doch nicht aus: Ladestationen beziehen ihren Strom weiterhin aus der Steckdose. Somit spart man sich zwar das Kabelstöpseln, muss sich aber weiterhin regelmäßig zur Ladestation bequemen.

Forscher von Disney Research beschreiben in einem Artikel beim Online-Wissenschaftsmagazin PLOS ONE einen Konzeptraum, der dieses Manko beheben soll. Die Geräte müssen sich nur in diesem speziellen Raum befinden, um induktiv mit Strom versorgt zu werden. Die Energieübertragung erfolgt über ein Magnetfeld, das den Raum durchströmt. Auch andere Geräte wie Lampen oder Ventilatoren sollen so ohne Kabelanbindung ihren Strom beziehen können.

Researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital have designed a small voltaic cell that are sustained by the acidic fluids in the stomach and generate enough power to run sensors or drug delivery devices that can reside in the gastrointestinal tract for extended periods. This type of power could offer a safer and longer-lasting alternative to the traditional batteries now used to power such devices.

For this metal, electricity flows, but not the heat

(Nanowerk News) There's a known rule-breaker among materials, and a new discovery by an international team of scientists adds more evidence to back up the metal's nonconformist reputation. According to a new study led by scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and at the University of California, Berkeley, electrons in vanadium dioxide can conduct electricity without conducting heat.


The findings, to be published in the Jan. 27 issue of the journal Science ("Anomalously low electronic thermal conductivity in metallic vanadium dioxide"), could lead to a wide range of applications, such as thermoelectric systems that convert waste heat from engines and appliances into electricity.

The tech world, Burger explained, was moving into a new orbit. In the future, a few giant Internet companies would operate a few giant Internet services so complex and so different from what came before that these companies would have to build a whole new architecture to run them. They would create not just the software driving these services, but the hardware, including servers and networking gear. Project Catapult would equip all of Microsoft’s servers—millions of them—with specialized chips that the company could reprogram for particular tasks.

Forscher registrieren Hitzewelle am Nordpol
Am Nordpol und auf der norwegischen Inselgruppe Spitzbergen wurden für Oktober Rekordtemperaturen gemessen. «Das kann katastrophal enden, wenn wir nicht etwas unternehmen», warnt ein Klimaforscher.

Oslo (dpa) - Der Klimawandel wird auf der norwegischen Inselgruppe Spitzbergen immer stärker spürbar. «2016 wird dort das wärmste Jahr seit Beginn der Messungen 1889», sagte der Klimaforscher Ketil Isaksen vom norwegischen Meteorologischen Institut am Freitag der Deutschen Presse-Agentur. Die Jahresdurchschnittstemperaturen lägen in diesem Jahr bei etwa null Grad. Das seien fast sieben Grad mehr als normal.  

Auch am Nordpol war es in den vergangenen vier Wochen im Schnitt neun bis zwölf Grad wärmer als normal. «Wir haben am Pol noch nie so hohe Temperaturen gemessen», sagte der Klimaforscher Martin Stendel vom dänischen Meteorologische Institut.

 

In der vergangenen Woche seien am Pol null Grad registriert worden, das seien sogar 20 Grad mehr als gewöhnlich Mitte November.

FEI-FEI LI IS a big deal in the world of AI. As the director of the Artificial Intelligence and Vision labs at Stanford University, she oversaw the creation of ImageNet, a vast database of images designed to accelerate the development of AI that can “see.” And, well, it worked, helping to drive the creation of deep learning systems that can recognize objects, animals, people, and even entire scenes in photos—technology that has become commonplace on the world’s biggest photo-sharing sites. Now, Fei-Fei will help run a brand new AI group inside Google, a move that reflects just how aggressively the world’s biggest tech companies are remaking themselves around this breed of artificial intelligence.

Facebook Manages to Squeeze an AI Into Its Mobile App
Alongside a former Stanford researcher—Jia Li, who more recently ran research for the social networking service Snapchat—the China-born Fei-Fei will lead a team inside Google’s cloud computing operation, building online services that any coder or company can use to build their own AI. This new Cloud Machine Learning Group is the latest example of AI not only re-shaping the technology that Google uses, but also changing how the company organizes and operates its business.

Scientists make 'holy grail' breakthrough in DNA editing that could cure incurable diseases

Scientists make 'holy grail' breakthrough in DNA editing that could cure incurable diseases | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
Scientists have discovered a new way to edit DNA that could fix “broken genes” in the brain, cure previously incurable diseases and potentially even extend the human lifespan. The breakthrough – described as a “holy grail” of genetics – was used to partially restore the sight of rats blinded by a condition which also affects humans. Previously researchers were not able to make changes to DNA in eye, brain, heart and liver tissues.

MIT makes breakthrough in morality-proofing artificial intelligence | #Research #AI | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
Towards this end, researchers at MIT are investigating ways of making artificial neural networks more transparent in their decision-making. As they stand now, artificial neural networks are a wonderful tool for discerning patterns and making predictions. But they also have the drawback of not being terribly transparent.

 

The beauty of an artificial neural network is its ability to sift through heaps of data and find structure within the noise. This is not dissimilar from the way we might look up at clouds and see faces amidst their patterns.

 

And just as we might have trouble explaining to someone why a face jumped out at us from the wispy trails of a cirrus cloud formation, artificial neural networks are not explicitly designed to reveal what particular elements of the data prompted them to decide a certain pattern was at work and make predictions based upon it.

Die Naturfilmer James Balog, Adam LeWinter und Jeff Orlowski haben in ihrer Dokumentation "Chasing Ice" den größten Gletscherabbruch aller Zeiten gefilmt. Am dritten Januar 2017 ist ihr mit zahlreichen Preisen ausgezeichneter Film erneut auf Arte zu sehen.


Manche Menschen zweifeln noch immer am Klimawandel, zum Beispiel der künftige US-Präsident Donald Trump. Dabei gibt es deutliche Hinweise wie die Polschmelze oder immer häufiger auftretende Naturkatastrophen. Vor allem eine Sache ist unübersehbar: Das Abschmelzen der Gletscher auf der Nordhalbkugel.

En Arctique, il fait 20 °C de plus que d'habitude, du jamais-vu | #Climate #ClimateChange

Que se passe-t-il en Arctique ? Au mois de novembre, la banquise, en pleine nuit polaire, a l'habitude de s'étendre après le minimum estival. En 2016, voilà du jamais-vu : par endroits, elle a continué à se rétracter. Et pour cause : par moments, les températures ont remonté. La courbe ci-dessous, publiée par l'Institut météorologique danois, montre en effet des hausses au mois de novembre. Dans certaines zones, les températures de l'air mesurées ont atteint -5 °C, au lieu de -25 habituellement à la même date.


Le 21 novembre, la surface de la banquise est descendue à 8,655 millions de kilomètres carrés (données du National Snow & Ice Data Center), ce qui constitue un record pour cette période de l'année. « De telles températures d'octobre et de novembre n'ont jamais été enregistrées en 68 ans de mesures », explique en substance Jennifer Francis, climatologue à l'université Rutgers (États-Unis), dans un article de Climate Central.

A new stick-on wearable sensor uses the symphony of internal rumblings, whooshing, gurglings, and cracklings to help doctors diagnose different conditions. And this souped-up, miniaturized stethoscope could one day be a way for clinicians to continuously monitor patients outside of the clinic. So far it’s been tested on chicken breasts and a very small group of people.

 

IT STICKS TO THE SKIN LIKE A TEMPORARY TATTOO

This wearable, smaller than a penny, can hear the beat of your heart, the sound of your voice, and even the whirr of an implantable heart pump, according to a paper published today in the journal Science Advances.
