Graphene sensor created to detect air pollution

British scientists have developed a power-efficient graphene-based sensor that can detect air pollution inside homes. The sensor detects individual carbon-di-oxide molecules, found in buildings and interior materials, adsorbed onto graphene – a single atomic sheet of carbon atoms. In the study, the team was able to detect gas molecules with 30 parts-per-billion concentration level.

Google's computers can be considered drivers: US

US vehicle regulators have recognised that Google's computers and artificial intelligence system in self-driving cars can be considered 'drivers'. Analysts claim this recognition could streamline the process of getting autonomous cars on the road. Google should come up with certification criteria for self-driving cars to meet standards applicable to vehicles with human driver, the regulators said.

Microsoft plans to build underwater datacenters

Microsoft on Sunday unveiled a new research initiative 'Project Natick', under which it plans to build underwater datacenters. To study the feasibility of such datacenters, Microsoft took a year to deploy its own subsea datacenter in the Pacific Ocean. Microsoft is currently looking for low-cost, high responsive and environmentally sustainable cloud datacenter solutions.

Lily, a camera drone

Throw this drone in the air and it flies itself following you!

Lily started in September 2013 in the basement of a UC Berkeley robotics lab, where Henry Bradlow and Antoine built the first prototype using a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino.

It follows a small circular tracker, which you can have in your pocket or on your wrist. With one tap of the tracker, Lily can execute some nifty camera moves, all while staying focused on you. The camera inside, Bradlow says, is roughly equivalent to the GoPro Hero 3: It can shoot 1080p video, or 720p up to 120 frames per second—there’s some tech inside that will detect when you hit a jump while snowboarding and automatically kick the camera into slow-mo. It’ll also shoot 12-megapixel stills and it can make a cool 360-degree panorama. It can fly 25 miles per hour, is totally waterproof, lasts up to 20 minutes on a charge, and has range up to 100 feet. check out for official website from lily https://www.lily.camera/
