Nevada is now officially the first state in the USA where the operation of self-driving vehicles on public roads is regulated by law. The regulations approved by the Legislative Commission of the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles set out guidelines for companies who want to test autonomous vehicles on public roadways.
Two separate studies, one at Northwestern University and another at University of Massachusetts, are currently under way, looking at how smartphone-enabled technologies could be used to monitor peoples' levels of stress or depression, and then take action to keep them from making the wrong choices.
John Martinis’ research group at the University of California at Santa Barbara has created the first quantum computer with the quantum equivalent of conventional Von Neumann architecture.
The rigid 19th-century orthodoxy should be challenged to allow broader interpretations argued Werner Heisenberg, one of the founding fathers of quantum physics, in the 1960s, and Rupert Sheldrake again argues the same in his new book The Science Delusion.
Steven Lade from the Max-Planck-Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Germany and Thilo Gross from the University of Bristol have presented a mathematical methodology that uses easily obtainable information to greater effect and can therefore reduce the amount of additional data that needs to be collected for predicting a complex system's collapse.
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the the largest solar radiation storm since September 2005 on Sunday, January 22.
Bioengineers and security futurists are warning that future hacking crimes could involve a weaponized biotoxin or a virus that aims to infect targeted groups, or even a specific person’s brain and body — not just computers or mobile devices.
Dick Zoutman of Queen's University has developed an ozone and hydrogen peroxide vapor gas to kill bacteria in hospitals. Dr. Udi Qimron of Tel Aviv University has developed a liquid solution in which viruses are used to make antibiotic-resistant bacteria once again vulnerable to traditional cleansers.
New research from Boston University suggests it may be possible to use brain technology to learn to play a piano, reduce mental stress or hit a curve ball with little or no conscious effort. It's the kind of thing seen in Hollywood's "Matrix" franchise.
The global output of heat-trapping carbon dioxide jumped by the biggest amount on record, the U.S. Department of Energy calculated, a sign of how feeble the world's efforts are at slowing man-made global warming.
