There have been a plethora of languages developed during the course of computer programming history for a variety of goals. Programming languages are used to create websites, desktop applications, servers, and a variety of other jobs. We'll throw some light on the dark regions of the programming language world. Let us look at a few...
By Daisuke Wakabayashi Google has said that it was working on privacy measures meant to limit the sharing of data on smartphones running its Android software. But the company promised those changes would not be as disruptive as a similar move by Apple last year. Apple’s changes to its iOS software on iPhones asked users for...
By Steve Nadis High-performance computing is needed for an ever-growing number of tasks — such as image processing or various deep learning applications on neural nets — where one must plow through immense piles of data, and do so reasonably quickly, or else it could take ridiculous amounts of time. It’s widely believed that, in...
By Jonathan O'Callaghan Astronomers say they have found a second plausible candidate for a moon beyond our solar system, an exomoon, orbiting a world nearly 6,000 light-years from Earth. Called, “Kepler-1708 b-I,” the moon appears to be a gas-dominated object, slightly smaller than Neptune, orbiting a Jupiter-sized planet around a sun-like star—an unusual but not...
When they merge, space and time will shake By Mohana Basu Scientists from the University of Manchester in the UK have discovered a pair of supermassive black holes locked in a cosmic waltz 9 billion light-years away. The two giant bodies orbiting each other are each hundred millions of times more massive than our sun, and the...
By David Nield Quantum mechanics – the behavior of the Universe at the smallest of scales – continues to surprise us, with scientists now have been able to successfully create a quantum object called a domain wall in laboratory settings. For the first time, these walls can now be generated in the lab on demand, occurring...
Physicist uses quantum computing and machine learning to find out Physicists at the University of Michigan are trying to better understand the idea called holographic duality, a mathematical conjecture that connects theories of particles and their interactions with the theory of gravity, using quantum computing and machine learning. According to holographic duality, the theory of gravity...
Gaming trends we’ll see in 2022 Gaming is changing significantly as this fast-moving industry grows, innovates, and adapts to changing consumer demands and technological developments. Some of the trends we’ll see in gaming in 2022: More Remasters Remasters are a controversial topic among gamers. Some consider them to be a sign of creative bankruptcy and a lack...
What is a metaverse and why is everyone talking about it? By Mike Snider and Brett Molina Author Neal Stephenson is credited with coining the term "metaverse" in his 1992 science fiction novel "Snow Crash," in which he envisioned lifelike avatars who met in realistic 3D buildings and other virtual reality environments. Since then, various developments have made mileposts on the...
