TOKYO, Japan (PNN) - January 22, 2013 - Worried about all those security cameras tracking your every move? Try rocking one of these visors and once again enjoy anonymity.
At least that's what Isao Echizen from Japan's National Institute of Informatics is trying to achieve with the Privacy Visor.
Developed with Seiichi Gohshi of Kogakuin University, the visor has a near-infrared light source that messes up cameras but doesn't affect the wearer's vision, according to the institute.
BERLIN, Germany (PNN) - January 8, 2013 - A laser weapons system that can shoot down two drones at a distance of over a mile has been demonstrated by Rheinmetall Defense.
The German defense firm used the high-energy laser equipment to shoot fast-moving drones at a distance.
The system, which uses two laser weapons, was also used to cut through a steel girder a kilometer away.
MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - January 5, 2013 - Russia recently launched its near silent nuclear submarine following several years of development.
The Borey Class submarine, dubbed Vladimir Monomakh, has a next generation nuclear reactor, can dive deeper than 1,200 feet, and carries up to 20 nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles.
HOUSTON, Texas (PNN) - January 4, 2013 - NASA has released a series of new photos taken by its Curiosity rover that appear to show a “flower” on the surface of Mars.
Russia Today talks to William Binney, whistleblower and former NSA crypto-mathematician who served in the agency for decades. He reveals that every single person living in the Fascist Police States of Amerika is under virtual surveillance; that every citizen’s emails, web use, telephone communications, etc. is recorded, stored and retained by fascist federal thug officials, to be used if the government ever decides to do so. When is enough, enough? It is time to rise up and forcibly overthrow the oppressive totalitarian dictatorship that exists today. Revolution Now!
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (PNN) - December 24, 2012 - You’ve heard the hype a hundred times: Physicists hope to someday build a whiz-bang quantum computer that can solve problems that would overwhelm an ordinary computer.
Now, four separate teams have taken a step toward achieving such “quantum speed-up” by demonstrating a simpler, more limited form of quantum computing that, if it can be improved, might soon give classical computers a run for their money. But don’t get your hopes up for a full-fledged quantum computer. The gizmos may not be good for much beyond one particular calculation.
New kind of magnetism.
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (PNN) - December 20, 2012 - Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered a new state of matter with a new kind of magnetism. This new state, called a quantum spin liquid (QSL), could lead to significant advances in data storage. QSLs also exhibit a quantum phenomenon called long-range entanglement, which could lead to new types of communications systems, and more.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (PNN) - December 10, 2012 - Utah State University presented a first-of-its-kind electric bus that is charged through wireless charging technology in a demonstration Nov. 15.
NEW YORK (PNN) - December 7, 2012 - John McAfee - anti-virus pioneer, "person of interest" in a Belize murder investigation, and launcher of increasingly bizarre media stories - has been captured. It happened after journalists from Vice accidentally published an iPhone photo of McAfee with embedded GPS data.
NEW YORK (PNN) - December 7, 2012 - A security expert thinks the hacktivist movement Anonymous is planning an imminent cyber attack against the United Nations' International Telecommunication Union.
