Basically, the quantum walk is the quantum world’s version of the classic random walk in mathematics—a path made up of a series of random steps. In the quantum version, the walker exists in a state of superposition. The results of this research were recently published in the journal Nature Communications. Dr Ashley Montanaro, Lecturer in Applied Mathematics and EPSRC Fellow from the University of Bristol’s School of Mathematics, said: “A quantum computer is a machine designed to use quantum mechanics to solve problems more efficiently than any possible classical computer....

Sourour explained how he was asked to build a website for a pharmaceutical company, where he was fooled into helping it dodge drug advertising laws to convince young women to take a particular drug. According to Sourour, he was asked to create an informational site for a type of illness whose treatment was aimed at teenage girls. His creation: a quiz in which the only result was that the girl should take the client’s drug....

While pricing details are currently not available, we have a feeling that it is going to be along the same lines as its predecessor, Artik 5. Artik came with a price tag of $99.99, making it clearly more expensive to the more affordable $35 Raspberry Pi 3. It could be that Samsung Artik 10 could feature the same price tag as its predecessor, but that would not make it a very affordable board now would it?...

We had recently reported that how a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 exploded in Korea while it was charging, making it the second incident of the device being exploded in less than a weeks’ time. The first report of a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 randomly exploding while charging in China appeared online on August 24. Samsung confirmed that it was investigating the matter and said that, “Shipments of the Galaxy Note 7 are being delayed due to additional tests being conducted for product quality....

“Not the barbecue I wanted on my day off,” Dornacher wrote on Facebook, sharing photos of his vehicle on fire and the charred remnants of his smartphone. No one was injured in the incident. “We are safe no one was hurt all that matters to me,” Dornacher wrote on Facebook. According to a report from FOX 13 News, St. Petersburg, Florida resident Nathan Dornacher and his family had just returned home from a yard sale on Labor Day....

“There was another explosion of the Galaxy Note 7. It was my friend’s phone. A Samsung employee checked the site and he is currently in talks over the compensation with Samsung. You should use its original charger just in case and leave the phone far away from where you are while charging,” read the post. While some users who saw the post claim the photo looked very similar to the Galaxy Note 7 that was reported to have burnt in the first incident, the others claimed that the models were different....

In a benchmark testing of the Samsung Galaxy S9 equipped with an Exynos 9810 chip, the iPhone X and iPhone 7, conducted by AnandTech, showed that the S9 processor is slower compared to both the Apple-designed A10 and A11 processors. In fact, the iPhone 7 (A10), which is about two years old, was also found beating the Galaxy S9+ in some of the Geekbench benchmarks. While speed test aren’t really the most scientific way to assess the performance of a device, it does provide an insight on how fast the devices would work in real-life situations....

Mr. Goldstein, a PhD candidate at the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, has been working with a team of surgeons at the North Shore-LIJ Health System for the past year on determining if 3D printing and tissue engineering could be used for tracheal repair and replacement. Tracheal damage can be caused by tumor, endotracheal intubation, blunt trauma, and other injuries. Narrowing and weakness of the trachea can occur and are often difficult to repair....

“For a bigger problem we have to make a larger computer,” Dan Nicolau, chair of the department of bioengineering at McGill, told CBC News. At the centre of the model is a 1.5 square-centimetre microchip, which uses myosin, molecular motors that perform mechanical tasks in living cells, to move protein filaments along artificial paths. In a traditional computer, electrons are pushed through a chip by an electrical charge. But in the biocomputer, short strings of proteins are powered by Adenosine triphosphate, the chemical that provides energy to the cells in our bodies....

Despite the fact that smartwatches might not be able to store passwords, or that their owners refrain from doing so, Masters student by the name of Tony Beltramelli has proven that those things are not going to matter one bit. Studying at the IT University at Copenhagen, Beltramelli shows that our smartwatches can actually give away information about us that we did not know it had to begin with. According to Beltramelli, he refers to this as deep spying....

Speaking at Common Cause’s ‘Blueprint for Democracy’ conference today, Edward Snowden spoke about surveillance, personal liberties and of course, the San Bernadino shooter’s iPhone. “The FBI says Apple has the ‘exclusive technical means’ to unlock the phone,” Snowden said. “Respectfully, that’s bullshit.” — Edward Snowden (@Snowden) March 8, 2016 In the link provided by Snowden, Daniel Kahn Gillmor of the American Civil Liberties Union argues that FBI is more than capable of unlocking the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone....

“They thought they could take Harambe down…they were wrong. Join Harambe as he uncovers the true motive behind his assassination attempt!” the game’s description reads. For those unfamiliar, Harambe was a 17-year-old Western lowland gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden. The animal was fatally shot in May to rescue a three-year-old who fell into a zoo enclosure where he was grabbed and dragged by Harambe. The tragic killing of the gorilla led to a public backlash with many questioning if the animal should’ve been killed and others demanding the toddler’s parents to be held accountable....

The patent filing titled ‘Configuration of Data and Power Transfer in Near Field Communications’, published earlier this month, was uncovered by tech site What Future, which describes a system by which two smartphones could wirelessly trade power via Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. However, the patent doesn’t specify that these devices would necessarily be phones, instead using the term “portable consumer electronic device.” So, basically one can assume that the tech may not be limited to phones and instead also apply to home appliances like fridges, microwaves, TVs, computers, and any other kind of electronic device that could carry an NFC chip....
