Science and technology in one sexy package
SiPix, in partnership with SmartDisplayer as developped the flexible display which will be embedded into an ISO-compliant payment card.
It is now possible to display dynamic passcode for a one-time use on your credit card. By pressing a button on the card, you can generate a new code.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) created a clock which uses ultraviolet radiation and a single mercury ion interactions. Oscillating around 100 000 times faster than cesium-cloud microwave (the old method of getting time), ultraviolet electromagnetic waves allow us to get a more precise definition of the second.
It’s been said that the clock would be precise as much that it’ll take 70 million years before it’s off a second.
With further improvements since they submitted their new report, the NIST researchers have made a clock that’s about 10 times as precise as the world’s cesium standard, Bergquist says. According to NIST figures, the cesium standard would be off by no more than 1 second in 70 million years of continuous operation.
Experiments on nanoubes have revealed they could be used as tools to squeeze extremely hard materials such as iron and iron carbide.
Such discovery will allow scientists to perform high pressures operations as the nanotubes “withstood pressures as high as 40 gigapascals, just an order of magnitude below the roughly 350 gigapascals of pressure at the center of the Earth.”
Bombarding a carbon nanotube with electrons causes it to collapse with such incredible force that it can squeeze out even the hardest of materials, much like a tube of toothpaste, according to an international team of scientists. Reporting in the May 26 issue of the journal Science, the researchers suggest that carbon nanotubes can act as minuscule metalworking tools, offering the ability to process materials as in a nanoscale jig or extruder.
In the drive to understand and harness quantum effects as they relate to information processing, scientists in Waterloo and Massachusetts have benchmarked quantum control methods on a 12-Qubit system. Their research was performed on the largest quantum information processor to date.
As quantum computing develops, we (computer users) will be able to solve complex problems and equations a computer cannot answer to this date. The technique scientists and computer engineers have found to store and transmit information is about to change because of the new implication this technology as. Faster (instantly) calcuations, calculations which are still unsolvable to this date might be what’s coming next.
Could we possibly run computers with no lag and have instant download? Quite likely.
