Device Developed to Enable Work While Sleeping
The company Prophetic has developed a headband device called Halo that allows people to work while they sleep. The device is designed to trigger lucid dreaming, enabling users to become aware that they are dreaming and take control of the experience. Prophetic describes Halo as a “non-invasive neurostimulation device that provides the ultimate open-ended environment […]
Advanced Computer DeepSouth Introduced as the Closest to the Human Brain
Researchers from Western Sydney University, in collaboration with tech giants like Intel and Dell, have built a massive supercomputer designed to simulate neural networks at the scale of the human brain. This one-of-a-kind supercomputer, named DeepSouth, is set to go online soon. According to researchers, DeepSouth is capable of performing 228 trillion synaptic operations per […]
Pocket-Sized PC Introduced
Recently, most laptops have been released with 14-inch or larger screens, which can be less portable compared to smartphones. However, the newly launched Meenhong JX2 mini PC is small enough to fit in a pocket. The Meenhong JX2 features a 5.7-inch touchscreen with a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. Powered by Intel’s Celeron N5105 processor, […]
Biological Charger Integrated with the Human Body Developed
Researchers at Lanzhou University in China have developed a biologically degradable, wireless charger that can safely be implanted into the human body in the future. The new implant was detailed in a paper published in Science Advances. The subdermal wireless charger consists of a magnesium coil that passes through a small circuit to enter the […]
New Wi-Fi Method Allows Reading Letters Behind Walls
Researchers from University of California have developed a new method called “Wiffract” to visualize objects beyond the line of sight. This technique leverages Wi-Fi radio frequency (RF) signals, utilizing Geometric Diffraction Theory (GDT) principles to interact with the edges of objects that need to be visualized. The research team noted that while object detection using […]
Khadas Mind Portable Modular Workstation
Known for its innovative concepts, Khadas has recently launched its new product, the Mind, a modular computer designed for users on the go. Weighing only 450 grams, the Mind allows users to switch between portability, productivity, and creativity modes. Despite its compact size, the Mind is powered by Intel’s 13th Generation i7-1360P or i5-1340P processors. […]
New Light-Based Wireless Network 100 Times Faster than Wi-Fi: Li-Fi
For years, many companies have been working on Li-Fi technology, which stands for Light Fidelity. Recently, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) officially accepted 802.11bb as the light-based wireless communication standard. This development could accelerate the adoption and implementation of the technology. The new standard opens the door for different manufacturers to produce […]
