The amount of time, effort, and money needed to train ever-more-complex neural network models are soaring as researchers push the limits of machine learning. Analogue deep learning, a new branch of artificial intelligence, promises faster computation with less energy consumption. The findings of the research were published in the journal ‘Science’. Programmable resistors are the

SpaceX’s Starlink satellite constellation may provide high-speed Internet to mobiles phones in near future, as suggested by a report. The Elon Musk-founded company has filed an application to the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) seeking permission to use the 2GHz spectrum to provide “mobile satellite service.” The space company has over 2,600 Starlink satellites in

Researchers have utilised the quantum anti-butterfly effect to successfully develop a method for benchmarking the performance of quantum computers. This has helped them overcome an experimental challenge in physics that had been long puzzling researchers. According to Bin Yan, a quantum theorist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, the method paves way for determining the capability of quantum

Scientists at Rice University in the United States have figured out how to hack the brains of fruit flies in order to make them remote-controlled. The team of neuroengineers were able to use magnetic signals to activate targeted neurons that control the body position and movement of the flies.   According to a study published

India’s space sector startups are looking forward to the new space policy for easier access to finance and clarity on issues related to liability in case of untoward incidents. At least 100 startups are active in the country’s space sector building satellites, launch vehicles and even designing in-orbit refuellers for satellites that would otherwise have

In what may lead to the development of new treatments for heart diseases, researchers have created a novel artificial intelligence (AI) technique that can detect plaque erosion in heart arteries. The technique uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) images to monitor arterial plaque. The finding is crucial as the disintegration of the plaque can serve as
