The algorithms of No Man’s Sky
Developed and published by the indie studio Hello Games, ‘No Man’s Sky’ is built around a procedurally generated deterministic open universe that contains a staggering 18.4 quintillion planets. The game also boasts complete solar systems, varied weather systems, detailed flora and fauna, fascinating alien creatures, as well as fully functioning buildings and spacecraft.
Aligning corporate and startup strategies for the IoT
Rambus CMO Jerome Nadel recently participated in an Internet of Things World panel about aligning corporate and startup strategies. As Nadel notes, the key to achieving successful synergy between the two requires a nuanced understanding of how established corporations and nascent startups differ.
Telecom Asia talks VIDITY
Writing for TelecomAsia, Doug Lowther notes that the buzz around 4K UHD content has continued unabated since CES 2016 and is set to accelerate. “Operators [are] quickly realizing the speed at which they need to innovate to bring new services to customers,” he explained. “However, 4K UHD requires thoughtful market analysis before big steps are taken to bring it to customers.”
Seeing invisible physics with diamonds
Ania Jayich and the Quantum Sensing and Imaging Group at UC Santa Barbara have developed new sensor technology capable of nanometer-scale spatial resolution and exquisite sensitivity. “This is the first tool of its kind. It operates from room temperature down to low temperatures where a lot of interesting physics happens,” Jayich, UCSB’s Bruker Endowed Chair in Science and Engineering and associate director of the campus’s Materials Research Lab, told PhysOrg. “When thermal energy is low enough, the effects of electron interactions, for instance, become observable, leading to new phases of matter. And we can now probe these with unprecedented spatial resolution.”
Apple Pay supports Interac in Canada
Apple Pay – which facilitates easy, secure and private contactless transactions – is now available to Canadians with Interac debit cards. This means consumers can add Interac debit cards to their Apple Wallet and shop at the hundreds of thousands of merchant locations where contactless payments are already accepted in Canada. Apple Pay is currently supported by a range of devices, including the iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch.
