An exhibitor plays on a flipper machine, using an EEG to measure neurons in the brain at the CeBIT fair in Hanover. Devices allowing people to write letters or play pinball using just the power of their brains have become a major draw at the world's biggest high-tech fair.

FBI Director Robert Mueller sounded a call to arms at RSA, telling security experts that the country needs their help to fight cybercrime and terrorist attacks. He also enlisted the help of companies, promising greater sensitivity on the agency's part when investigating breaches.

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built an enhanced version of an experimental atomic clock based on a single aluminum atom that is now the world's most precise clock, more than twice as precise as the previous pacesetter based on a merc …

Model of the brain-machine interface for real-time synthetic speech production. The stroke-induced lesion (red X) disables speech output, but speech motor planning in the cerebral cortex remains intact.

A group of scientists has succeeded in creating the first transistor made from a single molecule.

Quantum computing may be coming to a search engine near you. Google and D-Wave are working together on a project to bring quantum computing to searches in a way that would, in a sense, teach machines to recognize images.

You know you have crossed the river into Cyberland when the guy coming your way has his head buried in the hand-held screen. He will knock into you unless you get out of his way, and don't expect an apology. It's as if you aren't there.

Compared with the agile, intelligent robots envisioned in science fiction, today's real-life robots may seem relatively unimpressive.

It's not enough to build a high wall around your systems. Hackers will eventually figure out a way to breach it, and then everything inside will be vulnerable to attack.

Technology designed to blast aliens in computer games is part of a new GPU (Graphics Processing Units) computer cluster that will process CSIRO research data thousands of times faster and more efficiently than a desktop PC.

Two principles need to be part of the consciousness of every cybersecurity practitioner: First, security cannot hold back productivity. Technology that makes us more productive will get deployed and used even if it makes information less secure.

The goal of cognitive computing is to engineer holistic intelligent machines that can connect huge amounts of sensory data.

A multidisciplinary team of UC researchers is the first to find an innovative and novel way to control an electron's spin orientation using purely electrical means.

Atomic scale computing. Science fiction now on the cusp of reality. This could take computing into light wave speeds. Very interesting developments.

Quantum computers are right on the horizon, but they have lots of different problems to work out. One such problem is the storage of the light pulses. Quantum computing works with lasar pulses, instead of the traditional electronic pulse.

Nano technology has always peeked my interest. It seems everyday there is a new innovation, and now NanoPen for mapping out electronic circuits in the future. I can't wait to fire up my first nano tech puter!

Over the last year or so I have been extremely interested in the future of computing. Nano technology is going to change the face of computing, and possibly the world.

The world of computing is about to take on a new structure. DNA sequencing allows for the same structure that makes up our DNA to be replicated on a circuit board. Organic computers is right on the horizon.

World's smallest nano lasers now a reality. They are going to clear the way for computers to use light instead of electrons to process information. I think this is very exciting, as computers will leapfrog into a new speed realm.

Quantum computers not just a pipe dream. The new computer threat on the horizon that needs our complete attention.

I am interested in learning JavaFX, as I have been doing java off and on for many years. This looks to be powerful, and yet easy!

This sounds interesting. Neighborhood watches has worked for ages, now how about cyber-neighborhood watch - Now theirs an idea.
