Hyperdimensional Computing System: Inspired from Cerebral Attributes of Neuronal Circuits
Hyperdimensional computing (HDC) is the budding computational paradigm based on cognitive model which distillates to higher dimensionality and randomness.
Read MoreAstronauts create Fifth State of Matter on ISS: Bose-Einstein Condensates in Space
Astronauts harnessed the microgravity environment at the International Space Station by developing an ‘exotic’ form of matter. We call it exotic because this form of matter has not been easily observed on earth – maybe due to gravity.

Technology advancement in harnessing renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind has reached a long way. However, tapping marine energy efficiently and reliably at the same time has always remained a challenging task.
Read MoreNew Building Material From Waste Plastic: RePlast The Future Of Plastics
Plastic waste management is one of the major problems worldwide. Plastics production utilizes valuable fossil feedstock and has a notable carbon impact. They are not only hard to decompose but are also occupying our landfills and entering the oceans.
Read MoreUshering An Era of Quantum Computers with Built-in Optics: The Qubit Technology
Quantum computers are hypothetical devices with higher computational power than a traditional computer. The classical system involves bits as the smallest unit of data, that is represented by 0 or 1, while quantum computers are made up of quantum bits, also known as qubits. Unlike the conventional computer, where a bit has to be either 0 or 1, quantum mechanics grants a qubit to be in both the states at the same time. A qubit would be represented as 0 and 1 simultaneously, a hallmark which is rudimentary to quantum…

Traffic Jams are one of the worst nightmares of urban commuters these days. China, which has some worst traffic jams ever, has come up with an innovative mode of transport known as the Transit Elevated Bus (TEB) to move around even in the most congested road.
Read MoreRoboRacing: Fusing AI with Automotive Technology
Driverless cars are the future of private transportation, where crashes are rare occurrences. Raj Nair, Ford’s head of product development claimed that the year 2020 will mark autonomous vehicle at SAE Level 4 [1 step below full automation] into the mainstream auto market.
Read MoreMercedes-Benz unveils Driverless Bus: Future of Public Transport
Future Bus is the new city bus coming straight from the vault of Mercedes-Benz. Unlike its previous autonomous semi-truck Actros that was targeted only for highways, CityPilot ridden technology bus is developed especially for an urban market. The German automaker has demonstrated that its self-driven bus is proficient enough of maneuvering through an urban environment stretching across a distance of 12-miles. It’s been nearly a decade since Mercedes-Benz has been working on automated driving technologies and the current CityPilot technology too is based on Actros Highway Pilot, the autonomous technology…

Massachusetts-based Terrafugia aims to provide true door-to-door transportation with a flying car within the next decade. The firm’s concept vehicle TF-X is a solution to the ever-growing traffic, which is a pain for people who commute between work and home by car daily.
Read MoreHead-up Display for Passenger Vehicles: In-car Technology
Researchers at Cambridge have unleashed an era of Head-up displays (HUD) using laser holographic techniques. The technology has introduced for the first time into Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. The human machine interface has developed to project data like speed, direction and navigation directly onto the windscreen. It’s an attempt to provide, relevant and real time information to the driver in a non-intrusive way.
