New research from PWC finds almost half (48%) of CEOs in the UK are concerned enough about cyberattacks that they are shuttering their social media accounts. The report, the “23rd Annual Global CEO Survey,” also reveals most CEOs (around 80%) have changed their online behavior due to potential risks. Social media has been a challenge […] The post Why more CEOs are abandoning social media over security concerns appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

Note: Daniel Bliss is a professor of electrical engineering at Arizona State University and the director of the Center for Wireless Information Systems and Computational Architecture. In this interview, he explains the ideas behind the original cellular networks and how they evolved over the years into today’s 5G (fifth generation) and even 6G (sixth generation) […] The post Everything you need to know about cellular networks appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

An endless flow of information is coming at us constantly: It might be an article a friend shared on Facebook with a sensational headline or wrong information about the spread of the coronavirus. It could even be a call from a relative wanting to talk about a political issue. All this information may leave many […] The post Reasons for information exhaustion – and what to do about it appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, millions of Canadians switched from working in a central office location to working from home. Days turned into weeks, and weeks have turned into months. Now it’s almost 2021, and millions of employees in Canada still work from home full time with no end in sight. Many Canadians wish to continue working […] The post What do Canada’s top CEOs think about remote work? appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

Building robotic grippers that can firmly grasp heavy objects and also gently grasp delicate ones usually requires complicated sets of gears, hinges and motors. But it turns out that it’s also possible to make grippers out of simple sheets of flexible material with the right creases in them. Our lab at Arizona State University has designed curved […] The post Curved origami offers creative route to making robots and other mechanical devices appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

On September 9 2020, a woman died during a cyber-attack on a hospital in Düsseldorf, Germany. The woman was in a critical condition and about to be treated when hackers disabled the computer systems of the hospital. Unable to avert the attack, medical staff had to transfer the woman to another hospital, but the help […] The post ‘You may be hacked’ and other things doctors should tell you appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

In a discovery spanning millions of years, scientists have found that humans, and most likely other animals, share important genetic mechanisms with a prehistoric Great Barrier Reef sea sponge. The University of Queensland’s Professor Bernie Degnan said some elements of the human genome – an organism’s complete set of DNA – functioned in the same way as […] The post Sea sponge uncovers a 700 million-year-old mystery appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

A team at Aalto University has used bacteria to produce intricately designed three-dimensional objects made of nitrocellulose. With their technique, the researchers are able to guide the growth of bacterial colonies through the use of strongly water repellent – or superhydrophobic – surfaces. The objects show tremendous potential for medical use, including supporting tissue regeneration […] The post Scientists use bacteria as micro-3D printers appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

A new format for compressing video, called Versatile Video Coding (H.266/VVC), at first glance might not seem to be the most exciting or profound change to influence humanity. But in a world where 4.57 billion people identify as active internet users, 3.5 billion regularly use a smartphone, 80% of global internet traffic is compressed video data and 500 hours of video are uploaded […] The post A little-known technology change will make video streaming cheaper and pave the way for higher quality appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

Autonomous functions for robots, such as spontaneity, are highly sought after. Many control mechanisms for autonomous robots are inspired by the functions of animals, including humans. Roboticists often design robot behaviours using predefined modules and control methodologies, which makes them task-specific, limiting their flexibility. Researchers offer an alternative machine learning-based method for designing spontaneous behaviors […] The post Robotic AI learns to be spontaneous appeared first on NetworkTigers News.
