Pocket-Size Device  Lets You Print from  Anywhere By David Willams  Science Contributor  |  November 15, 2016 04:29pm ET A new mobile robotic printer that is only a little bigger than three stacked hockey pucks will enable people to print anywhere and on any size page of paper. Smartphones, tablets and laptops make it easy for people to work on the go, but traditionally, printers have been cumbersome to lug out of the office. Zuta Labs, based in Jerusalem, reasoned that printers nowadays are essentially a printhead running back and forth on a moving piece of paper. The company's approach involves placing a printhead on a set of small wheels and letting it run across a sheet of paper, thus allowing printers to become smaller. "The name 'Zuta' in ancient Aramaic means 'small,'" said Tuvia Elbaum, CEO and founder of Zuta Labs.

1.Teleportation is Science Fact posted by;  Bashorun Bimbola If you think teleportation is only the stuff of futuristic television shows or movies, such as Star Wars and Star Trek, then you are mistaken! In fact teleportation has been proven, well at least at the quantum scale, and had even puzzled Albert Einstein who termed it Spooky Physics at a distance. Now quantum teleportation does not quite mean large molecules, let alone a human, can be teleported just yet, the keyword might actually be "yet".

From Reactive Robots to Sentient Machines: The 4 Types of AI By  Fritz Orbtz , Science cordinator  |  November 14, 2016 04:21pm E Machines need to be able to teach themselves, says one researcher who studies artificial intelligence. Credit: kirill_makarov / Shutterstock.com The common, and recurring, view of the latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence research is that sentient and intelligent machines are just on the horizon. Machines understand verbal commands, distinguish pictures, drive cars and play games better than we do. How much longer can it be before they walk among us? The new  White House report on artificial intelligence  takes an appropriately skeptical view of that dream. It says the next 20 years likely won't see machines "exhibit broadly-applicable intelligence comparable to or exceeding that of humans," though it does go on to say that in the coming years, "machines will reach and exceed human performance on more and mo

Creamy Soup of Vegetables and Chicken | Supa Crema de Legume cu Pui My brother and I gave our mom a really hard time as kids, particularly when it came to her cooking: for one reason or another, we always thought everyone else cooked better than she did, and we never shied from expressing our expert opinions on the matter (truth be told, our mom was a fabulous cook, but it took us many years to realize that). At one point, we let her know that her soups cannot match the awesome delicacies served at our kindergarten. The reason was very simple: our lives were already full of hardships (like fighting over toys or screaming our lungs out), so she could not really expect us to have much energy left in us to also chew the vegetables in the soup
