Es ist schon kleine Sensation was dem Forscherteam um Asier Marzo, Bruce Drinkwater and Sriram Subramanian von den Universities of Bristol and Sussex mit dem Sonic Tractor Beam gelungen ist. Der Sonic Tractor Beam bringt Objekte zum schweben.

The world’s first sonic tractor beams that can lift and move objects using soundwaves have been built by a team that includes researchers at the University of Sussex.

Tractor beams are mysterious rays that can grab and lift objects. The concept was created by science-fiction writers but has since come to fascinate scientists and engineers.

Toyota aims to become the first automaker to mass market talking cars—that is to say, vehicles that can receive and share data transmitted by external infrastructure and by other vehicles.

The Nissan IDS Concept unveiled today at the Tokyo Motor Show is the company’s vision of what cars will become in the near future. Central to that vision is autonomous driving, which Nissan says is close to becoming a reality.

Robotik ist ein spannendes Thema, zu dem sich kontinuierlich neue Entwicklungen ergeben. So hat Yamaha beispielsweise kürzlich einen neuen Roboter namens Motobot vorgestellt. Dessen besondere Fähigkeit: Er kann Motorrad fahren.

Yamaha is delving into the world of autonomous vehicles in a way befitting the unique company that it is: by building a robot that is capable of learning to pilot a motorcycle better than a human can, but not just any human. Yamaha aims to outperform an elite world champion—nine-time MotoGP winner Valentino Rossi, who rode to victory on a Yamaha YZR-M1 this year and who some consider practically superhuman.

Einem Team von Physikern des City College in New York ist es gelungen, gewöhnliche Laserstrahlen so zu manipulieren, dass er eine Quantenverschränkung simuliert. Auf diese Art und Weise ließen sich Informationen in der Kommunikationstechnologie deutlich schneller übertragen.

Physicists mimic quantum entanglement with laser pointer to double data speeds. In a classic eureka moment, a team of physicists led by The City College of New York and including Herriot-Watt University and Corning Incorporated is showing how beams from ordinary laser pointers mimic quantum entanglement with the potential of doubling the data speed of laser communication.

No long-term future in tar sands, says Alberta's premier - Rachel Notley supports a switch to clean energy to help Canada’s biggest oil-producing province move beyond fossil fuels within a century. Alberta being the epicenter of Canada's declining reputation on environment and climate.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo, known as “Jokowi,” came to Washington Monday to help elevate his country’s profile and appeal to foreign investors. But as raging forest and peatland fires in Indonesia pour huge amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, he chose to cut short his U.S. visit and will return to address the ongoing ecological disaster at home.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc applied Monday to U.S. regulators for permission to test drones for home delivery, curbside pickup and checking warehouse inventories, a sign it plans to go head-to-head with Amazon in using drones to fill and deliver online orders.

Intelligently connected, spatially efficient and versatile: in Tokyo Mercedes-Benz presents a show car for a new generation of urban trendsetters.

Auf der 44. Tokyo Motor Show (30.10. - 8.11.2015) zeigt Mercedes-Benz die Weltpremiere des Design-Showcars Vision Tokyo. Mit dem "Urban Transformer" zeigt Mercedes-Benz ein weiteres richtungsweisendes Raumkonzept, das die Verjüngung der Marke widerspiegelt.

Professor Challa V. Kumar von der „University of Connecticut“ hat ein spezielles Gel entwickelt, das die Nutzung eines größeren Teils des Lichtspektrums ermöglicht. Je nach Art des Solarmoduls lässt sich auf diese Weise die Menge an produziertem Strom verdoppeln.

A UConn researcher has developed a light-harvesting antenna that could double the efficiency of existing solar cell panels and make them cheaper to build.

Mit dem Emirai 3 xDAS stellt Mitsubishi eine elektrisch angetriebene Konzeptstudie vor, dass die Sicherheit und das gesundheitliche Wohlbefinden des Fahrers garantieren soll. 

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced today its EMIRAI 3 xDAS, concept car featuring next-generation driving-assistance technology that promises to enhance the safety and comfort of driving. EMIRAI 3 xDAS will be exhibited during the 44th Tokyo Motor Show 2015 at the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition complex in Tokyo, Japan from October 29 to November 8.

Die Wissenschaft hat in den letzten Jahren erhebliche Fortschritte im Kampf gegen Diabetes gemacht. Es besteht Hoffnung, dass sowohl Diabetes Typ I, als auch Typ II schon in den nächsten Jahren und Jahrzehnten dauerhaft geheilt werden können. Bis dahin müssen sich die Patienten aber weiterhin regelmäßig Insulin spritzen, um den Blutzuckerspiegel zu regulieren.

An intestinal patch device containing insulin that can be swallowed in the form of a capsule, in development by researchers at University of California Santa Barbara, has demonstrated efficacy of blood glucose management in diabetic rats. According to the Center for Disease Control, diabetes affects roughly 29.1 million people in the U.S. alone, and is one of the major contributors to mortality, leading to over 230,000 deaths annually with its associated comorbidities. Insulin therapy is an important part of diabetes treatment.

Branchenführende Detection Engine verdreifacht die Analysegeschwindigkeit - FireEye sorgt mit wegbereitenden Innovationen auf Basis der neuen MVX-Architektur für eine Neudefinition der Bedrohungserkennung. Mit dieser neuen Architektur liefert FireEye eine erhöhte Geschwindigkeit, Genauigkeit und Abdeckung moderner Bedrohungen sowie umfassendere Kontextinformationen und die Automatisierung der Erfassung von Front-Line-Informationen zur Erkennungsoptimierung.

Industry’s Leading Detection Engine Triples Analysis Speed - FireEye Redefines Threat Detection Again With Cutting-Edge Innovations Powered By New MVX Architecture. With this new architecture, FireEye brings increased speed, accuracy and coverage for advanced threats, provides richer contextual intelligence, and the automation of front-line intelligence to drive detection.

It seems nearly every day we’re reading about Internet attacks aimed at knocking sites offline and breaking into networks, but it’s often difficult to visualize this type of activity. In this post, we’ll take a look at multiple ways of tracking online attacks and attackers around the globe and in real-time

Künstliche Intelligenz sei das nächste grosse Ding, prophezeit Jared Cohen, Leiter des Think-Tanks Google Ideas. Um den digitalen Wandel zu überleben, rät er Unternehmen, zu Tech-Firmen zu werden.

Next is an advanced smart transportation system based on swarms of modular self-driving vehicles, designed in Italy. Each module can join and detach with other modules on standard city roads. When joined, they create an open, bus-like area among modules, allowing passengers to stand and walk from one module to another.
