How machine intelligences and human users work together on Wikipedia

New study looks at the ways machine intelligences and human users work together to improve and expand the world’s largest digital encyclopedia Since launching in 2001, Wikipedia has evolved into a sprawling repository of human knowledge, with 40 million collaboratively-written articles and almost 500 million monthly users. Maintaining that project requires more than 137,000 volunteer

A key advance towards long-awaited quantum optics technologies for computing, communication and remote sensing

To process information, photons must interact. However, these tiny packets of light want nothing to do with each other, each passing by without altering the other. Now, researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology have coaxed photons into interacting with one another with unprecedented efficiency — a key advance toward realizing long-awaited quantum optics technologies for computing,

A handheld device for diagnosing skin cancer could reduce need for painful biopsies by 50 perceny

The proven technology will be designed into a handheld device that could reduce need for painful biopsies by 50 percent — and disrupt the $5.3 billion diagnostics market Even the best dermatologists can’t diagnose skin cancer by eye, relying on magnifying glasses to examine suspicious blemishes and scalpels to cut tissue for analysis. With up

Dietary changes could sustain the world’s food production

If you wanted to really mess with the world’s food production, a good place to start would be in Morocco. They don’t grow much here, but it is home to mines containing most of the world’s known reserves of phosphate rock, the main source of the nutrient phosphorus. Most of us across the globe, most

Fusing nanotech, bacteria and fungi to create “bionic mushrooms”

Researchers take an ordinary white button mushroom and supercharge it with clusters of tightly-packed cyanobacteria and swirls of graphene nanoribbons to make electricity In their latest feat of engineering, researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology have taken an ordinary white button mushroom from a grocery store and made it bionic, supercharging it with 3D-printed clusters

Large numbers of quantum light sources on a chip could mean unbreakable cryptographic systems and quantum computers

Household lightbulbs give off a chaotic torrent of energy, as trillions of miniscule light particles – called photons – reflect and scatter in all directions. Quantum light sources, on the other hand, are like light guns that fire single photons one by one, each time they are triggered, enabling them to carry hack-proof digital information

Can social media move Bitcoin prices?

Stevens Institute of Technology researcher analyzed 3.3 million tweets and 344,000 posts, verifies for the first time social media’s effect on cryptocurrency Bitcoin is on fire. The ultra-democratic cryptocurrency with many passionate doubters and acolytes, has taken the tech and financial communities by storm. The value of a single bitcoin has soared from approximately $500

We Must Start Thinking Again about the Unthinkable

For those titillated by Strangelovian fantasies of nuclear apocalypse, the early 1980s were a golden age. That was the height of the Cold War, when nuclear arms and rhetoric escalated, and President Ronald Reagan envisioned a space-based anti-missile “shield”—promptly dubbed “Star Wars” by skeptics—that could thwart attacks by the “Evil Empire,” also known as the

Inside The Empowerhouse, A Gorgeous $250,000 Passive Home

The design debuted at the government’s Solar Decathalon, but instead of just being a show piece, new versions of it are being installed around Washington by Habitat for Humanity. The Department of Energy’s Solar Decathalon functions like an annual accelerator for new ideas in green building: teams from around the country compete to come up with innovative

On the way to single quantum dot nanolasers

The laser just celebrated its 50 anniversary. Its invention has not only revolutionized science and engineering but also the way we live. While early laser systems had resonator dimensions of centimeters to meters, the continuous miniaturization of solid-state lasers has led to optical microcavities with dimensions down to the diffraction limit of the laser light.

Supercapacitors: Cheaper, Greener, Alternative Energy Storage

Every year, the world consumes approximately 15 terawatts of power, according to some estimates. Since the amount of annual harvestable solar energy has been estimated at 50 terawatts, students at Stevens Institute of Technology are working on a supercapacitor that will allow us to harness more of this renewable energy through biochar electrodes for supercapacitors,

Portable Hydrogen Reactor for Fuel Cells

Chemical engineering students at Stevens Institute of Technology are transforming the way that American soldiers power their battery-operated devices by making a small change: a really small change. Capitalizing on the unique properties of microscale systems, the students have invented a microreactor that converts everyday fossil fuels like propane and butane into pure hydrogen for
