Twitter accounts of several influential figures in the crypto community were suspended Tuesday. “The Hash” panel discusses a decentralized future for social media.
The difference between AI in science fiction and reality
Technology is growing with each day and its growing speed is something we have never seen before. We didn’t know what smartphones were two decades ago but now, they’ve become almost a part of our bodies.
A big majority of people have become daily users of social media platforms and similar sites which have been around for decades. Technology’s impact on our daily lives has been quick and powerful, but how do you think its impact on our professional lives will be?
Engineers’ professional lives always involve technology, and the latest developments in the artificial intelligence area can change the engineering concepts radically. Robotics and engineering go hand in hand, and the future of AI has the potential to make human life easier and safer than ever before.
According to Elon Musk, Tesla’s Autopilot feature can help in reducing highway accidents thanks to its intelligent engineering. Also, founders and CEOs of big technology corporations such as Bill Gates, Sundar Pichai, and Tim Cook have also stated the importance and potential of artificial intelligence for humankind.
Artificial intelligence can help us find new solutions to our engineering problems and make our tasks easier to tackle.
Technological developments have been quick and efficient for the past decades and it seems that this snowball effect has not reached its full potential yet. Artificial intelligence holds great opportunities for tomorrow’s engineers, and if you want to learn more about the subject, be sure to watch our video!

Can nanotechnology solve our battery production problem?
From smartphones and laptops to the rapidly growing EV market, we need an incredible amount of lithium-ion batteries to make it all work. Materials like lithium are difficult and time-consuming to mine and extract … and can have a major impact on the environment. Can nanotechnology solve our lithium extraction and mining problem? And maybe even help with solid-state batteries? I talk to Teague Egan from EnergyX about some interesting advancements in nanotech, metal-organic frameworks, and more.
Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains The Weirdness of Quantum Physics
Quantum mechanics is the area of physics that deals with the behaviour of atoms and particles on microscopic scales. Since its inception, the many counter-intuitive aspects and results of quantum mechanics have provoked strong philosophical debates and many interpretations.
Neil deGrasse Tyson explains quantum physics in a way that is understandable even for the lay person. In Quantum Mechanics there is no such thing as absolute certainty when looking for something. This phenomenon is known as Uncertainty Principle and was Introduced first in 1927 by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg. Heisenberg realized that one implication of quantum physics is that the act of measurement always disturbs the object measured.
Neil deGrasse Tyson explains that the whole computer world is based on the principle of Quantum Physics. We are able to manipulate the electrical properties of silicon only because we can study the wave nature of electrons.
Our daily routines are often governed by technology that is directly related to Quantum Physics, thus our lives rest upon these fundamental scientific discoveries.
Another hard concept to grasp is Quantum entanglement. Einstein referred to it as “spooky action at a distance. It occurs when a pair or group of particles is generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in a way such that the quantum state of each particle of the pair or group cannot be described independently of the state of the others. But Neil deGrasse Tyson and Lawrence Krauss explain this concept with everyday life examples which makes it a little bit easier to understand.
As Neil deGrasse Tyson points out, the first quantum phenomena were observed more than a century ago. However scientists are still learning about this realm of our universe.

We’ll cover how to creating a magnetic field with electricity, Why only Alternating current can only be used in transformers, How a basic transformer works, step up and step down transformers, transformer connections and windings, Three phase transformers, Delta Wye connections.
Martin Rees – Why Believe in Multiple Universes?
Multiple universes used to be pure speculation. Today, most cosmologists are sure they exist, perhaps in many forms and almost certainly in vast numbers, perhaps infinite in size and scope. What caused multiple universes to go from far-out guesswork to conventional wisdom? And does anyone challenge the new belief?
Martin John Rees, Baron Rees of Ludlow is a British cosmologist and astrophysicist. He served as Astronomer Royal and Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. Rees was President of the Royal Society.
David Albert – Events in Quantum Mechanics and Relativity
Quantum mechanics, the best theory of the very small, and general relativity, the best theory of the very large, are deeply incompatible. One way to compare and contrast the two is by discerning the nature of an “event” in each. It is very different.
