Someone just built an insane 80 storey tall working 8 Bit computer in Minecraft
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Frankly this is a virtual computer running in a virtual game running in the cloud so is the future virtual games running in virtual computers in virtual games in virtual computers? Argh! Paradox!? Love the Exponential Future? Join our XPotential Community, future proof yourself...
DARPA AI learns to autonomously build computer networks on the fly in minutes
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Legacy technologies are often incompatible with the latest technologies, but now AI’s that can build networks on the fly are solving that problem fast. Love the Exponential Future? Join our XPotential Community, future proof yourself with courses from XPotential University, connect, watch a keynote, or browse my blog. How do you...
Scientists have created a brain-like Neurotransistor that learns by itself
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Transistors capable of self-learning has many benefits, including helping create robots that teach themselves new skills without human help or programming. Interested in the Exponential Future? Join our XPotential Community, future proof yourself with courses from our XPotential Academy, connect, watch a keynote, or browse my blog. Moore’s Law might be...
Smart molecule breakthrough could boost computer memory by over a 100 fold
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF The exponential growth in data volumes mean today’s technologies are bursting at the seems so we need new ones. Interested in the Exponential Future? Connect, download a free E-Book, watch a keynote, or browse my blog. Transistor sizes have been getting smaller for decades to the point that today...
Researchers tap transistors unique quantum fingerprints to ID systems and stop cyber criminals
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF As the rise in the number of connected devices and systems is out paced only by the rise in #cyber attacks, researchers have found a new way to identify individual systems at the quantum level. Interested in the Exponential Future? Connect, download a free E-Book, watch...
Game changing “Unhackable” MORPHEUS computer chip re-configures itself every 50 milliseconds
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Being able to create an unhackable computer sounds like science fiction, but that doesn’t stop researchers from giving it a go. “Unhackable” is a strong word. And so far many of the technologies that people have described as being unhackable, even awesome science fiction...
Researchers built a breakthrough quantum transistor using just a single atom
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF As transistors get smaller companies are going to be able to create computers that are orders of magnitude more powerful and energy efficient than today’s platforms. Over the past couple of years we’ve seen the development of a wide range of transistors that push...
The world’s smallest computer makes a grain of rice look massive
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF As computing and AI processing gets moved to the edge of the network and into billions of IOT devices computers will have to get ever smaller. Researchers at the University of Michigan have created the world’s smallest computer, again, after their previous micro-computers, called...
World’s first liquid transistor could usher in a new era of liquid computers
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Moore’s Law is slowing and as we look to move computing to the edge of the network we need new forms of computing platforms, this is the first step in building the worlds first liquid computer. For decades now transistors, those tiny electrical switches...
HPC and Quantum Computing experts partner to create the first Exascale applications
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF ORNL and D-Wave hope that by combining their expertise in HPC and Quantum computing they can make Exascale computing a reality sooner rather than later. Just a couple of months after the US Department of Energy (DoE) announced their partnership with HPE and their “future...
