DSDE: Emerging Technology

The cultural perception of AI is often suspect because of the challenges in knowing why a deep neural network makes its predictions. So researchers try to crack open this black box after a network is trained to correlate results with inputs. But what if the goal of explainability could be designed into the network's architecture, before the model is trained and withou…

Using a method called quantum annealing, D-Wave's researchers demonstrated that a quantum computational advantage could be achieved over classical means.

Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group and the European Space Agency have signed a memorandum of intent to analyze, develop, and implement space-enabled technology and services to support the renewable energy sector.

Neuromorphic computing could completely transform everything about the technology industry from programming languages to hardware.

2020 is finally ending. While not likely to register as anyone’s favorite year, 2020 did have some noteworthy advancements, and 2021 promises some important key trends to look forward to. A collection of experts presents thoughts on the past year and predictions for the year to come.

Startup Cerebras benchmarked its pint-sized computer against 16,000 Xeon cores in the Department of Energy's Joule supercomputer on a problem of computational fluid dynamics.

Augmented reality is gaining momentum in monitoring hazardous environments such as oil rigs remotely. With advances in sensors, video processing, machine learning, and deep neural networks all rendered into eyewear, there is an opportunity for enterprises to leverage this technology.

New guidelines from the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity recommend that all stages of the IoT device lifecycle need to be considered to help ensure devices are secure.

The subsea-technology company’s LUMA X subsea wireless communication modem will enable real-time streaming of HD-quality video and 4K images wirelessly through water, allowing the operators of autonomous underwater vehicles to monitor its interventions from its control rooms onshore.

The data industry has gotten exceptionally good at building large, complex software systems. We’re now starting to see the rise of massive, complex systems built around data. Despite all of this, there is still a tremendous amount of confusion around what technologies are on the leading end.
