Tesla and Elon Musk have been on a mission to make their Solar Roof tiles the go-to solution if you’re considering a new roof plus solar panels. Why buy and install two separate products when you can make one that does both? I don’t know about you, but my neighborhood has a lot of solar panels, but is still looking a little scrimpy on the solar roof front. So what happened? Increased prices, installation times that still take the better part of a week, and new solar roof tile and shingle competition that may beat Tesla on price and installation time. There’s some interesting solar tile and shingle competition out there now, like new solar roof shingles that got a lot of buzz at this year’s CES. But where are they?
MIT’s Mini Cheetah robot runs faster than ever
A new method allows MIT’s Mini Cheetah to learn how to run fast and adapt to walking on challenging terrain. This learning-based method outperforms previous human-designed methods and allowed the Mini Cheetah to set a record for speed.

In the next 10 years, we’ll start to see robots that are totally autonomous – or, fully in control. And as this happens, robots will start to rely on more data.
How much electricity does it take to power the world?
All around the world, millions of people are flipping a switch, plugging in, and pressing an ‘on’ button every second. So how much electricity does humanity use? And how much will we need in the future? Discover how much energy it takes to power the world, and how clean energy sources could help revolutionize our electricity supply.
Blockchain Explained
In simplest terms, blockchain is explained as a global distributed ledger made of data blocks sequentially linked in a chain. The Bitcoin blockchain’s unique characteristics stem from merging cryptography and transparency within a distributed technological framework. Bitcoin transactions between two parties occur within a global peer-to-peer network without needing to rely on third-party authentication.
Blockchain technology tackles the problem of digital trust by securely recording important information in a public space. Data stored on the blockchain exists in a shared and continually reconciled state, and the data is decentralized, can be encrypted and timestamped—but it cannot be tampered with nor changed retrospectively.
Neural Network In 5 Minutes | What Is A Neural Network? | How Neural Networks Work | Simplilearn
This video on “What is a Neural Network” delivers an entertaining and exciting introduction to the concepts of Neural Network. We will learn the different layers present in a Neural Network and understand how these layers process data. We will get an idea of the different parameters used in a Neural Network such as weights, bias, and activation functions. We will also understand how to train a Neural Network using forward propagation and then adjust to the errors in the network using the backpropagation method. This video also covers a few popular Neural Network applications. Now, let us jump straight into learning what is a Neural Network.

How Google’s Quantum Computer Could Change the World
Quantum computers store data as either 1s or 0s, taking advantage of phenomenon known as superposition. Google expects to have a “useful, error-corrected quantum computer” by the end of the decade. It will invest billions in developing the technology over the next decade. Quantum computing market will reach $2.2 billion by 2026, according to a report by IDC. The number of installed quantum computers will reach around 180 in 2026. Google says there is still a long way to go before such computers are practical.
