DARPA Funded Research Shows Advances in Powering Robot Spy Bugs with Ocean Bacteria
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in categories: government, internet, military, robotics/AI, space, surveillance
A new robot bug that can live in the ocean for 100 years and feed off of bacteria has made its debut as DARPA’s latest surveillance tool.
With a vast amount of area to cover, the US government is funding research for new oceanic spy technology. Now, a Binghamton University team has developed what may become one of the most simple and effective tools in its arsenal.
Now, a new DARPA initiative is playing off of the idea of “the Internet of Things,” the term used for the many non-computer devices connected to the Internet in some way, from refrigerators to fish tanks, and seeking to develop an “Ocean of Things.” With many futurists’ eyes on space conflict and satellite warfare, it’s easy to forget that 71% of the Earth’s surface is water, and naval conflict is still an element in geopolitics.

New Quantum Experiments to Test Simulation Hypothesis and its Connection to Consciousness
Posted by Alessandro Carvalho in categories: computing, neuroscience, quantum physics, virtual reality
Science: Physicists Will conduct experiments to verify if we live in the real reality or if we live in a virtual reality. In a computer simulation. In a dream. Or if not.
Researchers at California State Polytechnic University (CalPoly), Pomona are carrying out a series of quantum physics experiments expected to provide strong scientific evidence that we live in a computer simulated virtual reality. — PR13031782.

BYU dietetics professor uses AI to create national glycemic index
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: biotech/medical, health, robotics/AI
PROVO — A new study from a BYU professor is giving insights into the quality of popularly consumed carbohydrates in the U.S. with a new glycemic index and database developed with the use of artificial intelligence.
Nutrition and dietetics professor Karen Della Corte developed a national glycemic index and glycemic load database that was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. A news release from BYU said the data offers insights into the “evolving quality of carbohydrates consumed in the United States, something that hadn’t been done previously.”
She hopes this database helps increase awareness on the importance of carbohydrate quality in one’s diet and how, with other lifestyle factors, it can help prevent diseases and extend an individual’s health span.

Breaking! Scientists On Verge of Creating Heaviest Element Ever
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in category: futurism
In a feat of modern-day alchemy, scientists have used a beam of vaporized titanium to create one of the heaviest elements on Earth – and they think this new method could pave the way to even heftier horizons.
This is the first time the new technique – in which a hunk of the rare isotope titanium-50 is heated to almost 1,650 °C (3000 °F) to release ions that are beamed at another element – has successfully produced a superheavy element, livermorium.
