Is there anything 3D printers can’t do? Last year, we found out about how 3-D printers may be used to print food for space travelers. Now there’s technology that enables 3-D printers to print human organs. The California company, Organovo, has printed the world's first human livers. According to the inhabitat.com article,…
You've heard of P2P, but have you heard of V2V? Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications Vehicle-to-Vehicle communications is, as the name implies, data exchanged between two vehicles. The NHTSA has announced that they are beginning to draft rules to "enable vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology for light…
There's a new design concept out there for flash drives the thickness of a sticky note. The company, called dataSTICKIES, uses a relative newcomer material called graphene and a proprietary wireless data transfer protocol to get achieve this wafer-thin thickness. Now, graphene is my favorite new material; I've been waiting…
How would you like 100 Gb/s over wireless? In an experiment funded by Germany's BMBF, researchers have transmitted 100 Gb of data per second (the equivalent of 2.5 DVDs) over the grand distance of 20 meters. Before you are underwhelmed, sister project transmitted 40 Gb/s to another station over 1 kilometer away in a field…
When I hear "wetware," I think of futuristic, cybernetic implants that connect our brains to the Internet, version 10.0, but IBM is using the term to refer to a new form of liquid cooling and energy transportation. The new technology emulates the brain's energy transportation (the quintessential wetware model). Capillaries…
After we have collectively congratulated ourselves for the D-Wave folks producing what may be the first quantum processor-capable of solving computing problems 10,000 times faster than conventional computers-we might want to put some serious brain power into thinking about what "solving computing problems 10,000 times…
Hats off to Canada! It seems that D-Wave has produced the first commercial quantum processor, or at least they've presented enough evidence that NASA, Google, and Lockheed Martin have purchased, or are in the process of purchasing, one of their processors. When D-Wave first started out, there was, and continues to be, a…
No, the title is not a typo. October's wacky, weird, so-new-it-hurts technology is a subcutaneous cellphone that runs off of your blood. The phone rather looks like a prototype for the awesome phones from the Total Recall remake. Essentially, the phone is a small, thin, silicon touchscreen that is inserted under the skin…
