Quantexa has developed revolutionary Entity Resolution and Network Analytics technology that enable deeper insights into complex financial and real-world criminal problems like human trafficking. Quantexa is able to use their technology to model and achieve a true understanding of groups and people and their relationship and their behaviors so that they can achieve genuine business …
SpaceX continues to march ahead with the Starhopper. They are recovering from the wind damaged nose cone for the Starhopper and they placed fuel tanks into the bottom half of the Starhopper. Elon Musk tweeted out a video clip of the testing of the metallic heat shield up to 1100 celsius. [Removed – Starhopper photos …
Scott Galloway and Maureen Mullen had mostly successful predictions for digital technology in 2018. They predicted that Amazon would be the strongest of the big 4 (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Google). For 2019, they are predicting that Amazon Media Group will quadruple its ad revenue and become a serious player against Facebook and Google. They are …
SpaceX has completed a static firing for a Falcon 9 rocket with the crew Dragon capsule. They are targeting a February launch. If this flight is successful then there will be a flight abort test in May and then the crewed flight in June, 2019. Static fire test complete—targeting February launch from historic Launch Complex …
The US has funded Quantum Science and Engineering with the $1.2 billion National Quantum Initiative Act. The funding is spread of 5 years. This funding is for all quantum related science and technology. China is funding tens of billions into quantum research. The US and Canada are currently leading in quantum computers with many startups …
Quantum Circuits (QCI) is using superconducting qubits in a modular, robust, and scalable architecture. They are a spinout from Yale University. QCI’s unique software platform harnesses the power of our quantum hardware. We are building a full stack of flexible software to run novel and complex algorithms, exploiting the full potential of quantum computation. Delivering …
A Columbia University-led team has developed a new method to finely tune adjacent layers of graphene—lacy, honeycomb-like sheets of carbon atoms—to induce superconductivity. Above – Applying pressure to twisted bilayer graphene transforms the material from a metal to a superconductor.

Researchers demonstrated thermal lithography. They used a probe heated above 100 degrees Celsius to outperform standard methods for making metal electrodes on 2D semiconductors such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Such transitional metals are among the materials that scientists believe may supplant silicon for atomically small chips. The team’s new fabrication method – called thermal scanning …
Boeing successfully completed the first test flight of its autonomous passenger air vehicle (PAV) prototype in Manassas, Virginia. Boeing NeXt, which leads the company’s urban air mobility efforts, used Boeing subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences to design and develop the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and will continue testing to advance the safety and …
Deep Mind has a StarCraft II program AlphaStar. It is the first Artificial Intelligence to defeat a top professional human player. In a series of test matches held on 19 December, AlphaStar decisively beat Team Liquid’s Grzegorz “MaNa” Komincz, one of the world’s strongest professional StarCraft players, 5-0, following a successful benchmark match against his …
