Breakthrough Quantum Computing Chip Sets New Standards for Supercomputing

In a monumental leap for the world of technology, a pioneering quantum computing chip has shattered performance barriers, paving the way for an era of computing power previously thought to be science fiction. Developed by a collaboration of leading tech companies and research institutions, this quantum computing breakthrough is set to redefine the landscape of computing, enabling unprecedented speeds and capabilities that could revolutionize industries across the board. Key Highlights of the Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Unprecedented Processing Power: Traditional computers use bits to process information, represented as 0s and 1s. Quantum computers, on the other hand, leverage quantum bits or qubits, which can exist in a superposition of both 0 and 1 states simultaneously. This inherent parallelism allows quantum computers to perform complex calculations at speeds that would be inconceivable for classical computers. Massive Quantum Supremacy: The newly developed quantum chip achie

This is when Google will release Android 10 update to Pixel phones

Google will officially release the next version of Android dubbed as Android 10 on September 3. According to a report by PhoneArena, Google will release Android 10 update for Pixel phones on the same day itself. The update will be available for all Pixel phones-- Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2 series, Pixel 3 series and the Pixel 3a series. As far as features are concerned, Google has added Dark Mode in Android 10 along with improved privacy features. Android 10 will also feature a ‘Desktop Mode’ that will let the handset connect to desktops in an easier manner. Android 10 will not only bring some changes in the design of the UI but will also give users a chance to play around with the colour themes. The colour accents are likely to stay limited in the final version. This can be found in the ‘Developer options’ in the beta version.  Google will also introduce features like ‘Fast Share’ option for file transfers, different battery indicator, Wi-Fi connection through QR code and more.

Facebook working on an AR device that will let users type with their mind.

Facebook is developing a brain-computer Augmented Reality (AR) interface device that would help users type with their mind. At its F8 Developers' Conference, the company announced its Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) programme outlining its goal to build a non-invasive, wearable device that lets people type by simply imagining themselves talking. Facebook is supporting a team of researchers at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) who are working to help patients with neurological damage speak again by detecting intended speech from brain activity in real time. In a paper appeared in the journal Nature Communications, the UCSF team "has shared how far we have to go to achieve fully non-invasive BCI as a potential input solution for AR glasses", said Facebook in a blog post on Tuesday. The UCSF team has been able to decode a small set of full, spoken words and phrases from brain activity in real time  a first in the field of BCI research. The researchers
