New devices emulate human biological synapses A new type of nanodevice for computer microprocessors is being developed that can mimic the functioning of a biological synapse -- the place where a signal passes from one nerve cell to another in the body, report scientists. [Science daily]  Materials programmed to shape shift Scientists have pre-programmed materials to change their shape over time. [BBC] Materials programmed to shape shift Scientists have pre-programmed materials to change their shape over time. [BBC News] First quantum photonic circuit with an electrically driven light source Whether for use in safe data encryption, ultrafast calculation of huge data volumes or so-called quantum simulation of highly complex systems: Optical quantum computers are a source of hope for tomorrow's computer technology. For the first time, scientists now have succeeded in placing a (...) [Science daily] Quantum computing advances with researchers' control of entanglement Using laser light, a team of scientists has developed a precise, continuous control technology giving 60 times more success than previous efforts in sustaining the lifetime of “qubits,” the unit that quantum computers encode. In particular, the researchers have shown that they can continue to (...) [Science daily] Avnet to Launch MakerSource.io Directory at N.Y. World Maker Faire Avnet, Inc .

[CNN Money] Microsoft wants to 'solve cancer' with computers Microsoft says it wants to solve cancer by using computer science. [CNN Money] Acoustic resonator device paves the way for better communication A high-frequency version of a device known as an acoustic resonator has now been developed that could advance the field of quantum computing and information processing, say scientists. [Science daily] New 3D viewer for improved digital geoscience mapping Over the years, techniques and equipment for digital mapping have revolutionized the way geoscience field studies are performed. Now a unique new software for virtual model interpretation and visualization is revealed by researchers. [Science daily] Math study shows our brains are far more adaptable than we know Human babies and even animals have a basic number sense that many believe evolves from seeing the world and trying to quantify all the sights. But vision has nothing to do with it -- neuroscientists have found that the brain network behind numerical reasoning is identical in blind and sighted (...) [Science daily]
