We are already ready for the gigabit mobile Internet Very many people constantly complain that they have a slow Internet and they miss it. Therefore, operators and equipment manufacturers day after day are trying to increase the speed offered to users. The queue of speed is a gigabit order, and they are closer than we think. To begin with, it is necessary to determine that the existing speeds are sufficient, if the network is free. That is, for a mobile Internet of 50 Mbit / s this is an excellent indicator, and they will be enough to listen to streaming audio and to watch video in 4K. Even 20 Mbit / s is enough for most. But all this is good only in ideal conditions, when users are not so much and the network is able to share data at such a speed, and this already brings to life and says that not everything is so good with speeds because in reality they are achieved in real life is not so simple, especially in crowded places. In part, therefore, manufacturers are also investing in inc...

In what way did Google surpass Amazon for the first time? Periodically, new categories of devices appear on the market. Some of them become incredibly popular. An example of such devices is smartphones. Others are less interesting to a wider audience. However, sometimes it takes more than one year before new devices get distributed. And over time, the leaders of the new market segment are determined. Recently announced the next version of the mobile OS developed by her, Android P, Google managed to outperform Amazon in what Amazon was leading from the very beginning. Deliveries of Google Home and Mini have surpassed deliveries of Amazon Echo Amazon offered the first Amazon Echo back in 2015. As the first product of the new category, Echo had the largest market share of devices already in use and continued to lead the sales quarterly. So it was before the first quarter of this year. Smart speakers are the most dynamically developing category of technological products that combine a colu...

The long-awaited device will be without an OS from Google? Modern users are used to the fact that the smartphone almost always runs under one of the versions of the Android operating system, unless, of course, it's not about the iPhone from Apple, whose software is based on iOS. However, smartphones - although the most popular, but by no means the only category of compact devices, and one of the novelties expected by connoisseurs of high technologies, probably will not be based on the operating system developed by Google. Earlier, Evan Blass (Evan Blass) on his Twitter account @ evleaksreported that Samsung employees were seen with Gear watches running non-operating system Tizen, and Wear OS - a software platform for wearable devices from Google, which is also developing the most popular OS for smartphones and tablets - Android. But, probably, such a clock is not the nearest novelty from the South Korean technological giant. New details concerning the forthcoming Gear S4 smart watc...

The way is opened to accelerate charging of accumulators in 3 times Every year, the power of mobile devices grow, but the batteries behind them do not keep pace. Therefore it is already considered the norm to have a plug for the outlet and a couple of power banks in addition. And if you can not fundamentally change the device battery, you can try to make them at least less dependent on the outlet. This is exactly what the scientists from Germany did, creating a technology that significantly accelerates the charging of batteries. About the new development, the edition of Advanced Functional Materials is being published. As stated in the article, a group of German scientists developed a process for the synthesis of a hybrid material consisting of nanoparticles of tin oxide doped with antimony. All particles do not exceed a size of 3 millimeters and are grown on a platform of graphene, which provides structural stability and increases the electrical conductivity. As the author of the stud...

An important Google I / O announcement has already been released During the conference Google I / O 2018 the company presented a lot of interesting, including the next version of the most popular mobile operating system - Android P. The general public saw the future of technology from Google and waits for their application in real devices. It is reported that one of the announcements of the conference was released. "Ok Google" for Google Home will perform several voice commands in a row Last week Google released an update for Google Home, which provides support for several actions. The feature, which was announced earlier this year on Google I / O, makes it possible to implement several voice commands after the once pronounced "Ok Google" user, noted in the publishedFortune a note by Emily Price.

EZVIZ Mini Pano - safety at an angle of 180 degrees Some of us periodically think about installing a video surveillance camera at home or in the office. The reasons are different, but everyone starts to think which camera to choose. We found one option, looked at how it works, and were surprised by one of its features. The camera that we got caught is called EZVIZ Mini Pano. One of its distinctive features is that it can shoot video with a viewing angle of 180 degrees both horizontally and diagonally. This was made possible by the use of a fish-eye lens (in the people "fish ah"). Thus, this camera can be hung on the wall, and it will cover the entire room in which it is located. This is convenient, since you do not have to hang several cameras that require additional holes in the walls, and lay additional wires to them. The camera is attached very carefully. For this it will be necessary to fix a special platform on the wall. Then cover it with a decorative cap and install th...

Samsung will show Galaxy Note 9 in Brooklyn on August 9 Of course, summer could not pass without a big announcement from Samsung, and today we found out what it would be for the announcement. The company sent out invitations to the Unpacked event, which will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on August 9, and this, even by Samsung standards, is a very powerful arena for shows. The star of the show, as you might have guessed, will be Galaxy Note 9. Obviously, Samsung has not yet specified that it will be Note 9 in Brooklyn, but judge for yourself: in the photo of the invitation card, S Pen, Note 8 was presented around the same time in last year, and Note 9 itself only recentlyFCC approval procedure. What else could happen on August 9? The details of the party are not disclosed yet, but if we can guess at something, in addition to the traditional massive screen, Note 9 will get one of the flagship chipsets Qualcomm Snapdragon 845. Also interesting is why Samsung's invitati...

Bose develops headphones with white noise specifically for sleep If you live in one of the new buildings, you like no one else know what thin walls and the absence of any kind of sound insulation. Bad acoustics, knocking, screaming, noise, roosters, trains, the continuation of the family - all this gets into a dream and destroys it. If I could give up sleep, I would have long abandoned this ungrateful pastime. In the US, the problem of lack of sleep costs the economy 411 billion dollars a year. Lack of sleep makes you "boiled" and unable to work normally. So Bose wants to solve this problem. The company presents SleepBuds, headphones that will help people sleep. Wireless headphones are the result of the recent acquisition of Bose, the startup Hush, which develops "smart inserts." New headphones will sit comfortably in your ears even if a person sleeps on his side. According to those who have already met with them, Sleepbuds are surprisingly convenient, they are diff...

A new plan to reflect asteroid threats was presented by NASA According to statistics, the chances of you dying from the fall of the asteroid are much lower than the chance of being killed by lightning. From time to time, cosmic cobblestones approach our planet, but in the overwhelming majority of cases everything ends well - asteroids simply fly past several hundred thousand kilometers from Earth. Still, our planet against the background of the vast space expanses is too small a goal for accurate strikes. Space agencies around the world conduct daily monitoring of near-Earth objects and can pre-warn about possible collisions. Nevertheless, there are cases when a dangerous rapprochement is inevitable, but this becomes known literally a few hours before the eventual event. This year there were at least two similar incidents. The first occurred in April , the second - most recently, in early June. In both cases, the emergence of a cosmic threat turned out to be a real surprise for scienti...

Rocket Lab is ready for the first commercial launch of the Electron missile In the next two weeks, the US aerospace startup Rocket Lab will try to implement something that it did not do before: the commercial launch of the Electron rocket. This will be the third flight for Electron and the first of those that the company plans to launch monthly until the end of the year. On Friday, the launch was canceled due to problems with the tracking dish. But today, tomorrow, and every day for the next 14 days, the company will try to launch its ship in a 4-hour window, starting at 8:30 pm ET time. The Electron rocket is too small for a rocket. Its height is four times smaller than the height of Falcon 9 - 55 feet against 230. But Electron can afford to be a crumb because it was built to accommodate small valuable cargo not more than 300 kilograms in low Earth orbit. Startups will also be inexpensive: only 4.9 million dollars. The thing is that Rocket Lab plans to quickly and often bring small sa...

In Germany, will test a flying taxi The country famous for its highways and comfortable cars wants to reach a new technological level. Chancellor Angela Merkel's government has approved the Urban Air Mobility project, in which Audi and Airbus SE are going to test a flying taxi in the German city of Ingolstadt, Bloomberg reports. The ultimate goal is to pave the way for a new transport era. "Flying taxis are no longer fiction. They will allow us to reach a new level of measurement and mobility. They will open huge opportunities for both established companies and start-up startups, who are already developing this technology and are achieving certain successes, "said the head of the German Transport Ministry Andreas Scheuer. The technology of flying cars is actually much closer to reality than many might think. At the Geneva Motor Show in March this year, Audi and Airbus presented an updated concept for the ultra light, compact Pop.up Next car, created in collaboration with ...

Russian engineers created a rocket engine that works on iodine The creation of new types of engines for space rockets is one of the priorities of the world aerospace agencies. And recently it became known that experts of the Rocket and Space Corporation Energia developed and patented a new type of electric propulsion system using reactive iodine. Moreover, in the near future it is planned to begin the first serious tests of the system. The idea of ​​using reactive iodine as a fuel is not new. It was proposed in the 90th years by the senior scientific employee of the Corporation Valery Ostrovsky. And only in the middle of the 2000s the company managed to obtain the necessary patents. Work on a new type of engine started in 2012. The first versions of the device were equipped with a gas distribution device, the launch was carried out on xenon, and iodine maintained the discharge. Then the designers began to develop an iodine supply system. The advantage of this approach is its high effic...

New meta-material can hide you from thermal images Virtually everything emits heat waves: cars, electrical appliances, communication lines, human bodies and so on. And to fix this long ago there are thermal imagers. But some objects would be nice to hide from the "gaze" of these devices. And, according to the journal Advanced Engineering Materials, a group of scientists from the University of Wisconsin in Madison succeeded in creating a material that makes objects invisible in the infrared range. A team of scientists led by Professor Hungzhun Jiang is behind the invention. The new material is very similar in appearance to metal. Its sheets with a thickness of less than 1 millimeter absorb about 94% of infrared radiation with a wavelength of 2.5 to 15.5 micrometers. The invention is most effective in the medium and far infrared ranges, in which, for example, the human body actively transfers heat. In order to achieve the above-described effect, scientists used the recently pop...

DARPA is developing wheels that are being transformed on the go Cross-country traffic can be a very difficult task, requiring a lot of compromises. A vehicle equipped with caterpillars will cope with such a task without any problems, however the caterpillar drive becomes inefficient when from any marshes you finally leave on a clean road. In turn, engineers and designers from the Office of Advanced Research Projects of the US Department of Defense (better known in our region as DARPA) do not believe that it is necessary to make a difficult choice in favor of this or that method. In collaboration with the Carnegie Mellon University, DARPA is working on the reconfigurable wheel technology (RWT), which allows you to change the usual round wheels to a crawler track (and back) right on the go. On several fragments of the video below you can see how the system allows you to change part of the suspension of the car in just two seconds. For this, one does not even need to stop. The development...

How modern technologies help patients with cancer and medicine in general One of the most promising industries for the application of modern technologies is health care. Large technology companies are already working on the conquest of this market. Let's talk about what their products help patients today, and what to expect in the near future. The discovery of cancer involved artificial intelligence On Monday, Baidu announced the existence of an algorithm of machine learning with open source, which is designed to detect tumors. Algorithm Baidu automates the process of image analysis, which is usually handled by radiologists. Artificial intelligence can make the analysis process more perfect and faster. In addition, he will allow doctors to free their hands and focus on treatment. The health market is very profitable for technology companies, and Baidu is not the only one who wants to penetrate it. Google is working on an algorithm for analyzing chest images. It is believed that in ...

DRAGON: The first drone, which can change its shape We are all used to the appearance of unmanned drones. They can vary the location of the blades and other elements, but the overall appearance will remain unchanged. A new development of Japanese scientists from the University of Tokyo stands apart. Their drone, called DRAGON, can easily change its habitual form. At the core of the "dragon" design are several independent modules. They are connected through rotary knots with electric motors. However, in the "tail" modules there are special jogging mechanisms that change the direction of motion. The drone is capable of stretching, shrinking, "putting aside" some of its elements, as well as performing various acrobatic stunts during the flight. A drone can squeeze into narrow apertures to grab a load with a frame that can be transformed. Initially, the drone has a traditional shape for the Copters, but if necessary changes it to a zigzag shape or stretches ou...

An artificial ankle that adapts to uneven surfaces has been developed Over the past few decades, limb prosthetics have progressed significantly, moving from the category of wooden stumps to high-tech works of art. Prostheses can be bionic, controlled directly by the brain, and also have a number of very amazing features, for example, to simulate sensations of touch and transmit them to humans. But no matter how good today's prostheses are, they are still very far from replacing full-fledged limbs. The main problem lies in their limited ability to imitate the most subtle movements and sensations that are produced and transmitted from real hands and feet. Engineers, physiologists and robots of Vanderbilt University are trying to solve this problem. Their latest development is a high-tech artificial ankle. Unlike conventional artificial ankles working on the principle of passive absorbance (absorption) of a shock when walking through a system of springs and stuffing material, the prot...

Artificial Intelligence Google redoubled efforts in news coverage In its updated news app, Google doubled the use of artificial intelligence as part of its efforts to combat misinformation and help users get to know the points of view beyond their own "filter bubble". The head of Google Sundar Pichai, who introduced the updated Google News earlier this month, said that "now the application presents the news you are interested in from trusted sources, while providing a full range of viewpoints on the events." Google seriously plans to be in the center of online news and will try to help publishers get paid subscribers through the platform of the techno giant. According to the main developer of the product TristanAstilla, the news application "uses the best of artificial intelligence to find the best of human intelligence - excellent reporting that comes from journalists from around the world."

Lenovo introduced a 17-inch gaming laptop with a touchscreen Laptops for games have always differed from models designed for everyday tasks. If companies like Alienware and Razer are working to reduce the thickness of their gaming laptops, Lenovo is moving in a different direction. At the IFA exhibition in Berlin, the Chinese manufacturer introduced the Y70 Touch weighing 3.4 kg. According to Lenovo, the Y70 Touch is "thinner and lighter" for most laptops in its class. This may be true, because the size of the screen Y70 Touch is superior to the latest 13- and 14-inch laptops Alienware and Razer. The novelty is equipped with a 17.3-inch display - displays with such a screen size were in favor with gamers, until they realized the benefits of more compact and transportable computers, writes TheVerge. Nevertheless, the Y70 Touch has one feature - it's a screen (1920 × 1080), made using touch technologies. Most gaming machines do not have this advantage. The new laptop is als...

Four explanations: why cars still do not fly? Electric air taxis with vertical take-off will someday plow heaven, but the terms of implementation, which say enthusiasts of this type of transport, to put it mildly, are ambitious. Not so long ago - last month - Uber predicted at the Elevate conference that it would deploy its UberAIR system as early as 2023. How is this even possible? There are no autonomous management systems, no rules for regulating air traffic, no technology, no working systems. What is there to talk about? There is a problem in the aircraft itself. Uber, the dominant player who tries to bring this industry to life, insists that an e-VTOL electric vehicle is the best option with which nothing compares in efficiency, speed, reliability, safety and quietness . Such transport can not simply take and appear from existing equipment. He will need new engines, flight control and a system of situational awareness. In fact, this is an opportunity to remake an industry that beg...

Create a software that guesses your future in the next three minutes Predictive technology is not something new. For example, when we write a message, the application suggests what we will put next, and although previous generations this may seem "magic", the fact is that most people perceive it as normal and without much mystery. But, what would happen if your mobile told you what action you are going to perform within five minutes without even you having raised it? This is the objective of the software developed by scientists at the University of Bonn, in Germany. "Our intention is to predict the time and duration of the activities minutes or even hours before they happen," explains the leader of the research team Jürgen Gall. And, for this, it has begun by providing an "aid" to the program, based on artificial intelligence : when introducing the beginning of an activity, it was intended to list a sequence of future actions based on those first steps. Sp...
