Google engineers have cooked up a new way for Gmail spam filters to learn what mail you want and what you don’t. It involves ‘large scale brain simulations’. In a post on the Gmail blog, product manager Sri Harsha Somanchi wrote that less than 0.1% of the email in an average Gmail inbox is spam, and the false positive rate is even lower – at just 0.05%. “Even still, Gmail

Introduction and design In the race to make laptops smaller, thinner and lighter than ever, 2015 has been an exciting year. Dell brought out a stunning machine with the Dell XPS 13, squeezing a 13-inch screen into an 11-inch frame. Apple, on the other hand, sought to reinvent the laptop with a brand new 12-inch MacBook, which squeezed an iPhone 6-sized logic board into its all-aluminum frame while introducing a

Roboticists from Harvard University and the University of California in San Diego have built a robot with a 3D-printed body that transitions from a hard core to a softer exterior. Oh, and it uses explosions to leap into the air. There’s plenty of research into soft robots, which are safer to work with than their more rigid companions. But soft robots also tend to be much slower at accomplishing tasks
