Scientific developments can come in many different forms, shapes, and sizes. Some breakthroughs are more impactful than others, although any form of scientific research needs to be applauded in recognized. MIT Engineers have come up with a way to deliver drugs to tumors and disease sites through tiny robots in the bloodstream. Nanoparticles are very fascinating technology. Tiny Robots in the Bloodstream It is rather interesting to see how scientists are trying to fine-tune drug delivery systems inside the human body. To this date, there are still a lot of different aspects which can be improved upon, albeit that is

Over the past few years, there has been an increasing focus on autonomous vehicles of all forms, shapes, and sizes. In China, research and development of this new form of transportation has taken an interesting turn. WeRide, a domestic startup, will attempt to launch their first commercial autonomous taxis in two cities later this year. This is done in an effort to rival the likes of Google and Uber. Commercial Autonomous Taxis Come to China It is commendable to see so many different companies work on autonomous vehicle technology. Despite this form of innovation being met with a lot of 
On April 26, software developer Tobias Ruck revealed a new platform he’s been working on called SLP Agora, an onchain trading console written in Rust that allows users to auction SLP tokens for bitcoin cash. The application’s decision-based transactions are secured by a smart contract technique enabled by the newly implemented opcode OP_Checkdatasig. Also read: […]
In this day and age of technology and mass surveillance, the NSA has gotten a very bad reputation in quick succession. This is primarily the result of the agency’s own doing and how they have seemingly gone all-in on mass phone surveillance in the US and beyond. That situation may now come to change, as the agency officially recommends to end its phone surveillance program. A very surprising turn of events which is met with plenty of skepticism. The NSA Says no to Mass Phone Surveillance? It is not all that common for government agencies to go back on their 
Scientists around the world are constantly looking to explore the boundaries of new technologies. A new experiment has allowed a team of enthusiasts to successfully create a new autonomous robotic device. The purpose of this new tool is to explore a pig’s heart while it is beating. Although that might not be a major selling point, this technological breakthrough may be used to examine human hearts’ condition in the future. An Autonomous Beating Heart Explorer On paper, it is nearly impossible to explore the inside of a beating heart in a safe manner. Despite numerous breakthroughs in scientific research, there 
It is not uncommon for political proposals to draw a lot of heat from consumers and corporations. In Europe, a current proposal is on the table to create a massive biometrics database. The European Parliament has seemingly approved the idea, although the project has yet to be put in place. Known as the Common Identity Repository, it will contain records of over 350 million Europeans accordingly. CIR Meets a Fair bit of Criticism When a new database is created to store information on European citizens, there are genuine concerns as to what is happening exactly. When that information pertains to

On April 17, the founder of the Drivechain project, Paul Sztorc, published a new blog post concerning the validity of today’s so-called ‘production sidechains.’ Sztorc has declared on multiple occasions that true sidechain technology hasn’t been invented yet and even Blockstream’s Liquid protocol, dubbed “the first production sidechain,” in a critical sense is not a […]
In the technology industry, there is a growing focus on facial recognition solutions. Governments and technology giants alike explore numerous opportunities in this regard. However, it seems not all companies are intent on selling their in-house developed technology to a government either. One surprising company on that list is Microsoft, as they have zero interest in offering facial recognition tech to law enforcement agencies. Microsoft Protects Users’ Privacy Anyone who has kept a close eye on Microsoft over the years will have noticed a peculiar trend. The company, while globally popular, doesn’t always protect consumers’ civil rights as well as
