If you've had a hankering for a gold smartwatch, you may have a more affordable option soon. Samsung announced the global launch of its new Gear S2 Classic smartwatch, which it revealed at CES a few weeks ago. While the company did not officially release pricing of the new Gear S2 Classic models, some reports...
No video game genre divides and unifies us like the kart racer. For every Mario Kart there are a dozen by-the-numbers cash-ins, and even that hallowed series receives regular criticism as too derivative. But while we all breathe a collective sigh of disappointment with each kid-friendly license that predictably goes the generic kart-racing route, it's hard not to get excited by that rare entry that...
IBM received more U.S. patents than any other company in 2015 — a total of 7,355 granted utility patents — marking its 23rd straight year at the top of a widely followed ranking, based on U.S. Patent and Trademark Office data. Samsung came in... Quantum metrology uses quantum entanglement—correlations in the properties of microscopic systems—to improve the statistical precision of physical measurements. When measuring a signal, such as the phase shift of a light beam or an atomic state, a prominent limitation to achievable precision arises from the noise associated with the counting of uncorrelated probe particles. This noise, commonly referred to as shot noise or projection noise,...
