IISc researchers produce a better water purification membrane | 08/30/2016 Going a step further, a team of researchers from IISc Bangalore has improved upon the water purification membrane they developed in 2014. The membrane allows higher flow rate across it and kills nearly 99 per cent of E. Coli present in water. The results of the study were published recently in the journal Nanoscale. Instead of … Continue reading IISc researchers produce a better water purification membrane

Technology produces clean-burning hydrogen fuel ch Nitesh | 29/01/2015 A new technology based on carbon nanotubes promises commercially viable hydrogen production from water. The new technology is a novel catalyst that performs almost as well as cost-prohibitive platinum for so-called electrolysis reactions, which use electric currents to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The Rutgers technology is also far more efficient than less-expensive catalysts … Continue reading Technology produces clean-burning hydrogen fuel ch

Will Passengers Ever Fly on Pilotless Planes? The technology is progressing quickly, but the main challenge may be overcoming our fears. Autonomous cars from companies like Google, Uber and Tesla will soon become commonplace on our roads, according to some experts, and aircraft manufacturers are betting that it will only be a matter of time before the skies are filled with autonomous planes as well. … Continue reading Will Passengers Ever Fly on Pilotless Planes?

New A.I. application can write its own code Computer scientists have created a deep-learning, software-coding application that can help human programmers navigate the growing multitude of often-undocumented application programming interfaces, or APIs. Designing applications that can program computers is a long-sought grail of the branch of computer science called artificial intelligence (AI). The new application, called Bayou, came out of an initiative aimed at extracting … Continue reading New A.I. application can write its own code
