A California-based startup is aiming to categorize the internet’s swath of unstructured data into a navigable indexed database. Known as Diffbot, the startup aims to extract knowledge in an automated manner from online documents and other sources. After a year-long private pilot program, Diffbot has finally gone public as it tries to build the first […]

Researchers Hope Artificial Intelligence Can Save Our World’s Dying Reefs
The alleged effects of climate change are reportedly responsible for coral reef bleaching, which is having catastrophic impacts on local marine species. Hoping to reverse this supposed trend, a new method of artificial intelligence (AI) cataloguing designed to identify the geographic regions where coral still thrives, aims to save some of the world’s densest and […]
Infographic: Everything You Need To Know About Voice Search Technology
One of the most convenient technologies being increasingly utilized in residences and businesses alike are home assistants with voice search capabilities. Names like Alexa, Siri, and Cortana usually come to mind.

Maximizing Wireless Charging Performance Using Smaller Antennas
Wireless charging is a technology that’s finally prospering, after being in existence for decades. Last month, I wrote about the Cota wireless charging platform, and its benefits to military personnel. At the time it was published, Cota only supported 2.4 GHz, but aimed to achieve support frequencies up to 5.8 GHz later this year. That […]
Infographic: Industries To Be Influenced The Most By Autonomous Cars
Driverless vehicles are set to start a new chapter in the age of mobility, and will have profound impacts on different industries—both directly and indirectly tied to the automotive sector. At first glance, some professions and fields of work that will inevitably be affected by vehicular autonomy might seem obvious—insurance, transportation services (like taxis and […]
Platform Offers Insight On Wireless Charging Benefits For Military Soldiers
When on patrol or executing missions, it isn’t uncommon for US military personnel to carry 110-150 lbs of equipment at one time, with roughly 20 of those pounds being batteries. This is mainly due to the variety of different devices these soldiers have that need power sources like night vision goggles, radios, sensors, GPS devices, headsets, flashlights, and laser […]
Google Among Notable Tools Cybercriminals Use To Access Smart Devices
In recent years, there has been an influx of smart technologies integrated in our homes, aimed at making our lives safer, more convenient, and cost-efficient. However, not all is perfect with this incorporation of smart devices and systems, as security researchers are increasingly uncovering exploitable vulnerabilities in these products (many of which are off-the-shelf). According to a recent report […]

In this day and age, smart technology is influencing our offices, cars, devices, and our homes (just to mention a few). Whether we realize it or not, it’s only a matter of time before we’re completely immersed in these devices and technologies as we’re ushered in this new age of innovation. It’s been previously stated that some of the […]
Video: Autonomous Vehicle Control System Avoids Last-Second Obstacles
With public trust in vehicular autonomy remaining relatively shaky, and steady (but painstakingly slow) progress being made on weeding out the bugs and other flaws, safety is shaping up to be the x-factor in the future success of this innovative industry. Self-driving cars are riddled with drawbacks, including the operability of their sensors in bad weather conditions or at […]
