Future is here! 2014 to allow brain hole wide open for new technology

The year 2014 is full of surprises. In that year, dominated by Google, Baidu, IBM, Microsoft and other well-known technology companies through constant research and development of innovative new products to intelligently explore these innovative technologies and products allow people to open a hole in the head, again and again to confront the unknown, looking forward to unlimited.

If they find the gate that eventually leads to the door of the future? We don't know, but we know that on the balance of a known and unknown, enjoying the ecstasy that changed the world, also endured the loneliness of not being read, which is perhaps the fascination of science and technology.

Google: a pair of monitoring blood glucose of contact lenses

Google this year repeatedly reports being mulled by whimsy seems to let the listener feel refreshed and driverless cars, super mega screen, again to a smart spoon, or even in the bloodstream "search" cancer new drug and the crowd went wild with joy.

Earlier this year, Google came out with a blood glucose monitor function of contact lenses, made many people's eyes to light up. This pair of glasses can be analyzed through tears components detect glucose in human beings, to guide the adjustment of insulin in patients with diabetes volume so that they reduce dependence on blood glucose meter.

This looks and is very similar to ordinary contact lenses products, lens actually covered with thousands of tiny transistors, while the lens extension is surrounded by tentacles as thin as hair. Google team to tailor the device has a wireless chip and advanced engineering techniques were used to make it able to work with circuits and sensors in the tiny space of "collaboration". In addition, the researchers also designed specifically for the device to create a set of new charging systems, so that "glasses" can rely on radio frequency to obtain energy.

Regrettable is that this cool glasses are just the design model, you need at least 5 years to meet with consumers really.

IBM: a mimic human brain chip

How to make machines think, act like a man, the ultimate goal has always been artificial intelligence scientists. In August, IBM announced the development of a brain-like micro-chip TrueNorth can mimic human brain structure and how information in the calculation, this technology will revolutionize the computer industry.

It is understood that the TrueNorth contains 5.4 billion transistors, four times than traditional PC processors have more than doubled. According to the structure of neurons and synapses in the nervous system of the human brain, and 256 million the equivalent of 1 million neurons Synapse, with 4,096 interconnected processor cores. Different from the traditional chip always running, TrueNorth runs only when needed, so as to greatly reduce energy consumption and operating environment temperature. It runs only 70 MW of power during its computing power can be reduced to 46 billion times per second per watt of power.

TrueNorth is likely to inspire similar innovative brain function, although such applications are also subject to computer hardware performance, but enclosed in TrueNorth to cloud services, smartphones , robotics, Internet of things, revolution in multiple areas, such as supercomputers. And, as far as United States media reports, this project belongs to IBM for a larger research program, by the United States Department of Defense Advanced research projects agency funding, designed to mimic the biological development of the nervous system with high performance and low power consumption of the chip, used for military UAV and the neural areas such as scientific experiments.

Microsoft: a print "all" printer

As early as last November, Microsoft unveiled Windows 8.1 , 3D printing free software--3D application Builder. Although this is just Microsoft entering the field of 3D printing a small step, but it symbolized Microsoft sounded the prelude to entering the 3D printing market. In September of this year, 3D Builder--3D Builder App R5 releases updated versions of, it is claimed, this release also enables Microsoft and 3D printing giant 3D Systems to establish a partnership.

New printing process adds cloud features, users do not need to have the printer, as long as easily design, click to Buy Print, send 3D models 3D Systems will be designed online platform for 3D printing services company--Cubify. Cubify also offers many optional ingredients, including opaque, matte, plastic, metals, mixed plastics, full-color "Colorstone" and even ceramics. Once a user under a single purchase, 3D Systems will will be finished in about two weeks to the gate of the user, so that ordinary people can enjoy the convenience and fun of 3D printing.

United Kingdom start-up: a smart glass to create the "Photonic space"

United Kingdom start-ups have a "Photonic space" program, dedicated to building the world's first all smart future housing made of glass, through maximum so that the residents and the outside world as well as, which completely changed the human way of life.

According to reports, we feel natural to our energy levels, sleep patterns and overall health, have a huge advantage, "Photonic space" sources of design inspiration with this: external smart glass, the coating can partially block the IR, fully block UV rays, avoid too much exposure on human damage. This glass under the control of Smartphone applications, and takes only 1 second to complete the switch between transparent and opaque. Its brightness is adjustable.

It is reported that "Photonic space" just four weeks to complete, could serve as hotels, spas, convalescent homes, health centres and other wellness resort an ideal annexe, the current "Photonic space" fund-raising is on a raised platform Crowdcube.

PostScript: technology is changing our lives now, but they're rewriting humanity's future trajectory. We should be grateful that in this world there are a large number of scientists and engineers brain hole wide open, their efforts are made every day with the possibilities of the future. A new year, and what would happen to the wonderful? Worth the wait!
