Instant-start computers possible with new breakthrough

Posted: 18 Dec 2014 12:45 PM PST

If data could be encoded without current, it would require much less energy and make things like low-power, instant-on computing a ubiquitous reality. Scientists have made a breakthrough in that direction with a room-temperature magnetoelectric memory device. Equivalent to one computer bit, it exhibits the holy grail of next-generation nonvolatile memory: magnetic switchability, in two steps, with nothing but an electric field.

In one aspect of vision, computers catch up to primate brain

Posted: 18 Dec 2014 11:10 AM PST

For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to design computer networks that can mimic visual skills such as recognizing objects, which the human brain does very accurately and quickly. Until now, no computer model has been able to match the primate brain at visual object recognition during a brief glance. Now neuroscientists have found that one of the latest generation of 'deep neural networks' matches the primate brain.

Copyright Confusion Has 'Chilling' Effects in Online Creative Publishing

Posted: 15 Dec 2014 12:45 PM PST

Copyright law is navigated on a daily basis by Internet users, and for amateur creative types publishing on the Web's largest creative venues, they often don't trust the websites to safeguard their art, a study says.
