| Poker-playing program knows when to fold 'em: Heads-up limit for hold 'em poker solved Posted: 08 Jan 2015 11:47 AM PST For over a half-century, games have been test beds for new ideas in Artificial Intelligence and the resulting successes have marked significant milestones: Deep Blue defeated Kasparov in chess, and Watson defeated Jennings and Rutter on Jeopardy! However, defeating top human players is not the same as actually solving a game, and for the first time researchers have essentially solved heads-up limit hold 'em poker. |
| New algorithm will allow better heart surgery, experts say Posted: 08 Jan 2015 11:14 AM PST A new technique to help surgeons find the exact location of heart defects could save lives, help them to treat patients more effectively and save health service cash, scientists report. Their development will allow non-invasive detection of the origin of heart problems and allow more effective treatment, they say. |
| Quantum optical hard drive breakthrough Posted: 08 Jan 2015 07:06 AM PST Scientists developing a prototype optical quantum hard drive have improved storage time by a factor of over 100. The team's record storage time of six hours is a major step towards a secure worldwide data encryption network based on quantum information which could be used for banking transactions and personal emails. |
| Researchers work to counter a new class of coffee shop hackers Posted: 08 Jan 2015 05:37 AM PST If you're sitting in a coffee shop, tapping away on your laptop, feeling safe from hackers because you didn't connect to the shop's wifi, think again. Hackers may be able to see what you're doing just by analyzing the low-power electronic signals your laptop emits even when it's not connected. |
