MIT uses a laser to transmit audio directly to a person's ear
Send instructions to a person so that the sound goes directly to his ear and only he can hear it? One of the possible applications of this new technology.
A new algorithm "puts other words in the mouths" of people in videos by editing the transcript of the text.
A collaboration between technological giants allows to alter the speech in a video simply by changing the text transcription: the person in the movie changes the words and movements of the lips.
Researchers use artificial intelligence to encode the language of rodents.
Using AI to translate human language is nothing new, but the results that can be achieved in deciphering animal language could be astounding.
Experts warn: don't fall in love with a robot. The story of Jibo
No matter how engaging a device is, or how cute it is, it will never return your affection. Story of the little robot that preceded the virtual assistants Google and Alexa, and broke everyone's hearts by announcing its "death".

Here is the first TV against mosquitoes
It's called Mosquito Away and it's the first television in the world that repels mosquitoes. Thus, especially in the summer, we will be even more inclined to see a good film on TV... Thanks to an ultrasound system, in fact, which is not perceptible to the human ear, this television, a jewel of LG technology, promises to keep annoying nuisances at bay insects without using any harmful chemicals. It may seem like a strange option, but it should be considered that the 32LH520D model was entirely designed and produced in India, to… Read more
The new artificial intelligence will be creative
Not only "useful" artificial intelligences, but also creative ones, which will be able to paint, have creative flair and, perhaps, replace man in the thing that most distinguishes us, imagination and creativity. Google intends to test whether this is possible with its Magenta project, previewed during the Moogfest underway in Durham, North Carolina. In fact, on this occasion a Google engineer explained that the project will be officially launched in June: the aim is to use ... Read more
Graphene prodigies: charged electric cars in 16 seconds, now you can
If I asked 10 of you readers what in your opinion is the biggest problem that hinders the large-scale diffusion of electric cars, probably 3 of you would blame the oil lobbies (it's a sin to think badly but you're not often wrong) and 7 of you would blame conventional batteries, which take too long to charge. Well, you're all right. Graphene supercapacitors, however, are a more than concrete promise to solve the problem: they are… Read more
