Nvidia, Mercedes to make continuously upgradeable cars
Cars are morphing into upgrading, high performance computing devices. From the ability to connect and stream music, with in-built map functionality some 10 years ago, cars have accelerated ahead to transform into computers on wheel as both hardware and software can do much more than tell you which turn to take. Examples of new technologies […]
Scanning the Innerspace
How miniaturised optical sensors could catch infections early and prevent another pandemic Getting infected and falling sick often do not happen simultaneously. It takes a virus some time to settle within the body of a host and then multiply – at which point we feel sick. It is the same with all viral infections, including […]
