Listening to quantum radio
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: biotech/medical, quantum physics, space
Circa 2019
Researchers at Delft University of Technology have created a quantum circuit to listen to the weakest radio signal allowed by quantum mechanics. This new quantum circuit opens the door to possible future applications in areas such as radio astronomy and medicine (MRI). It also enables experiments to shed light on the interplay between quantum mechanics and gravity. The results have been published in Science.
The usual solution to a weak radio signal is to find a bigger signal, for instance, by picking a different radio station or by moving to the other side of the room. However, m what if we could just listen more carefully?

How social and physical technologies collaborate to create
Posted by Xavier Rosseel in category: futurism
This is a disorienting time. Disagreements are deep, factions stubborn, the common reality crumbling. Technology is changing who we are and the society we live in at a blinding pace. How can we make sense out of these changes? How can we forge new tools to guide our future? What is our new identity in this changing world?
Social upheavals caused by new technologies have occurred throughout history. When the Spaniards arrived in the New World in 1492, some of their horses esca…
Our world is a system, in which physical and social technologies co-evolve. How can we shape a process we don’t control?

Antares launch scrubbed due to faulty ground support equipment
Posted by Alberto Lao in categories: military, space
The military-run spaceport at Cape Canaveral will soon be renamed Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to reflect the facility’s transition from the U.S. Air Force to the newly-created Space Force, military officials said Friday.
Officials said Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, home operational launch pads leased by United Launch Alliance and SpaceX, and nearby Patrick Air Force Base south of Cocoa Beach, Florida, will both get new names.
Brig. Gen. Doug Schiess, commander of the 45th Space Wing which oversees Patrick Air Force Base and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, said Friday that the two installations on the Space Coast will be among the first military facilities in the country receiving new names after the creation of the Space Force in December.

This AI model improves and colorizes old videos and the results are stunning
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: robotics/AI
Last week, my colleague Tristan wrote about an AI developer who used machine learning to upscale the famous 1895 train scene to 4K at 60 frames per second. While this was a great short watch, it made me wonder about using AI to restore and enhance old videos.
Thankfully, I stumbled upon a paper featured by the Two Minute Papers YouTube channel over the weekend that aims to improve and colorize these videos. The model uses Temporal Neural Network to identify and correct defects such as flickers in vintage videos.

Judge approves $26 billion merger of T-Mobile and Sprint
Posted by Brent Ellman in category: internet
Several state attorneys general had argued that combining the No. 3 and No. 4 carriers would limit competition and result in higher prices for consumers.
Sprint and T-Mobile say their merger will help them compete against top players AT&T and Verizon, and advance efforts to build a nationwide 5G network. Andrew Harrer / Bloomberg via Getty Images file.
