The U.S. is building “the most advanced” warship in history – DDG-1000 destroyer of Zumwalt class that the Pentagon called a “super-stealth silver bullet.” It will be able to move quietly along the coast, including in the shallows, hitting the targets of the enemy with electromagnetic rail guns, deceiving enemy radars. Americans plan to equip its fleet in the Asia-Pacific... 

Findings: researchers found that these tiny invisibility cloaks altered around 20 per cent of any given surface area While the idea of an invisibility cloak may seem more science fiction than actual science, a group of American researchers are well on their way. Researchers from Towson University and the University of Maryland used 25,000 individual cloaks 30 micrometres in diameter to slow down light... 

A Loewe television using a TOLED screen, designed by Michael Friebe, was shortlisted in the 2011 iF Concept Design competition The television of the future could be a see-through panel which ‘vanishes’ when you turn it off – carrying on the current trend for ever-thinner and more unobtrusive sets. The technology – TOLED – actually exists, although it’s still fairly... 

The virus-based electrode produced a small current enough to flash "1" on a liquid-crystal display. A team of US researchers in California have used viruses to build tiny devices that gather energy from mechanical forces and convert it into electricity. “More research is needed, but our work is a promising first step toward the development of personal power generators, actuators for... 

Panasonic President Fumio Ohtsubo The stocks of Japan’s electronics giants Sony and Panasonic have plunged to their lowest in over three decades with companies reporting USD 5.7 billion and USD 9.67 billion annual losses respectively. Sony’s shares dived 6.43 percent to 1,135 yen on Thursday, while Panasonic closed down 1.55 percent at 570 yen on Friday. The firms’ shares stood at their... 

The F-22 is the world’s most sophisticated operational fighter plane, and one of the most expensive. But due to an unexplained and potentially deadly problem that causes oxygen to drain out of the cockpit, pilots are refusing to be assigned to it. Air Force General Mike Hostage admitted that a number of F-22 pilots are refusing to fly the stealth fighter until it is completely safe or have asked... 

Laser bomb detector Not even the tiniest of particles will be able to escape the new super-sensitive explosive detecting device created by Russian scientists. Its laser sensor can pick up on a single molecule in a million from up to 50 meters away. ­The device was developed over a period of five years by the Siberian branch of the country’s Academy of Sciences. It will undergo full testing this... 

Captured US RQ-170 drone Iran has completed reverse-engineering of the captured US spy drone and has started building its own copy, Iranian media reports. The Revolutionary Guard is yet to decode parts of the software the Sentinel aircraft uses, General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who heads the force’s aerospace division, said on Sunday. “The Americans should be aware to what extent we have infiltrated... 

There has been quite a lot of news about self-driving vehicles in recent months. Google is currently working on an autonomous car, while BMW is designing a “highly automated” vehicle capable of navigating through traffic. Now Cadillac has announced a new self-driving vehicle that seems somewhat similar to BMW’s approach, with “super cruise” technology that could be ready... 

Samsung Galaxy Note: The poll showed analysts on average expect Samsung to have sold 88 million cellphones in January through March, surpassing the 83 million which Nokia sold in the quarter Samsung ended Finnish phone maker Nokia’s 14-year leadership of the global mobile phone market in the first quarter of the year, outselling the struggling handset maker for the first time ever. It’s... 

Google unveiled the details of the development of devices in the class of computers that users can wear like glasses. RIA Novosti reported that the information about Project Glass was obtained from Google+ social networks and informal blog Google Operating System.

 Formally, even now many electronic devices can be attributed to the class of wearable computers, but many experts believe that the... 

The quantum circuit used in the demonstration is a 3mm x 3mm chip with a 1mm x 1mm diamond in the middle. Scientists have created a working quantum computer inside a diamond that includes protection against ‘decoherence,’ noise that prevents it from functioning properly. Researchers of the University of Southern California, Iowa State University, University of California, Santa Barbara,... 

For decades science fiction writers, and their more practical cousins, engineers, have dreamt of building a flying car. Now that one is about to arrive on the market, the real question emerges: what are flying cars actually for? ­US company Terrafugia has variously labeled its Transition model as a “roadable aircraft” and a “street-legal airplane”, perhaps in a quest to avoid the inherent... 

Representatives of the U.S. Department of Defense announced the launch of a project to develop computer systems with elements of artificial intelligence. But we are not talking about creating a “computer mind”. The military are no longer satisfied with the speed of analysis and data quality of modern computers. No one is going to produce “terminators” at this point. It seems... 

Futuristic: The building, intended for Mumbai, was designed by Hong Kong-based architect James Law and Indian real estate company Wadhwa Group Architects have made a splash with a bold design for new towers in Mumbai featuring swimming pools enclosed in glass instead of balconies. Known as Aquaria Grande, the 37-storey skyscrapers were the result of a collaboration between Hong Kong-based architect...
