Quantum Computer prototypes make mistakes. It’s in their nature. Can redundancy correct them? Quantum memory promises speed combined with energy efficiency. If made viable it will be used in phones, laptops and other devices and give us all faster, more trustworthy tech which will require less power to operate.  Before we see it applied, the […]

One of the most basic and widely-understood concepts in modern biology is Darwinian evolution, wherein DNA is inherited by offspring from the parent organism. This view of evolution, also called vertical gene transfer, is increasingly becoming too simple to explain sections of the human genome. The science journal called Genome Biology published a study last […]

Apple has the money and the know how… are they making your old iPhone suck through planned obsolescence just to force you into the checkout line for a new one? Planned Obsolescence isn’t just a conspiracy theory. You can read the 1932 pamphlet, widely-considered the origin of the concept, here. The argument in favor of […]

A piece of code can actually manipulate the physical memory chip by repeatedly accessing nearby capacitors in a burgeoning new hack called Rowhammering. Rowhammer hacking is so brand new no one’s actually done it yet. Google’s Project Zero security initiative figured out how to exploit an aspect of a physical component in some types of DDR […]

My friend Pat O’dea wrote: Asked a guy showing off his expensive new smartwatch “What do you like most about it?” He replied “You don’t realize how many times during the day you have to reach into your pocket and pull your phone out just to see what time it is, so this like, totally […]

Chloé shines in this interview about the future of food design and her upcoming year, including SXSW and developing 3D-printed prototypes into a culinary reality. Eindhoven University of Technology Graduate, Chloé Rutzerveld, designed a food I don’t quite know how to categorize. I first saw pictures of her most recent work, Edible Growth, last week […]

Psychoactive recreational drugs are more popular than ever. They are just as dangerous as ever and while the tide is turning for marijuana, most recreational drugs are still illegal. In several academic circles psychoactive drugs are thought to hold a vast theraputic potential. In the near future we might see doctors prescribe psychadelics to treat […]

Neil Blomkamp’s new weirdness comes out tomorrow~! This the dude who brought you District 9 and Elysium. It’s safe to say, he’s mastered making robots seem real, heavy, solid and powerful. Chappie is going to rub some people wrong, because it’s hard to see the ridiculous hipster aspects of the aesthetic make room for the […]

Step into a freaky dystopian future of war and domestic crowd control with the new Lockheed Martin weaponized laser. The field test was declared a “success” after the 30-kW fiber laser system focused on the engine block of a small truck mounted to a  platform. The truck went from a running engine and drivetrain to […]

The State of Oklahoma has been wracked by faults in an obvious and easily proven correlation with fracking but over a year ago The Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) revealed that they are certain fracking causes these type of earthquakes, and they much earlier than they were apparently willing to publicize. The science was kept quiet, a […]
