Data is exploding at an unprecedented rate. Every second, AI models churn out complex computations, scientific research generates massive datasets, and cloud storage, streaming services, and financial records pile up at an insane pace.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are the future, but there’s one major roadblock keeping them from completely taking over—battery technology. Long charging times, limited range, and safety concerns still make some people hesitant to switch from gas-powered cars.
ARRI, a name synonymous with cutting-edge film technology since 1917, might be on the brink of revolutionizing the industry once again. Known for its world-class cameras and lighting equipment, ARRI is now making a bold leap into virtual production—one that could mark the end of traditional green screens as we know them.
As you may have noticed, we're always on the lookout for groundbreaking technologies to feature on our Tech Blog—ones that could benefit our readers and society as a whole. We don’t just report on innovations as they are; we explore their possibilities and ask the 'what ifs. This article is no exception, it's about a wireless charging technology that could revolutionize how we power everything from autonomous robots and drones to, perhaps one day, electric vehicles. Imagine a device no larger than your smart phone, capable of contactless charging with a gap of up to 5.5 cm. Xnergy, a Singapore-based company, has developed the Phoenix, a cutting-edge innovation that's making waves in the wireless charging industry.
Microsoft has unveiled a groundbreaking development in quantum computing: the Majorana 1 chip. Powered by a newly discovered state of matter, known as a topological superconductor or "topoconductor," this breakthrough could accelerate the transition of quantum computing from theory to real-world applications. But what does that mean? Unlike traditional computers, which process information in binary (0s and 1s), quantum computers use qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. Imagine solving a giant maze: while classical computers explore one path at a time, quantum computers explore many paths at once, drastically cutting down the time needed for complex calculations.
Holography is no longer confined to sci-fi movies. Real-life applications are already creeping into our daily lives. Medical holograms are used in surgeries, augmented reality (AR) headsets like the Microsoft HoloLens bring interactive holograms into the workplace, and entertainment is slowly catching up with 3D projections at concerts and exhibits. But we’re still far from seeing a Star Wars-style communication system where you can chat face-to-face with a friend through a floating 3D image.
