Essentially a ten inch tablet that folds down into a very chunky phone. it has two hinges, one fold forwards and one fold backwards. and you can bend it into a lot of unusual shapes, although im not entirely sure why you would want to. none of these are ready to go on sale and the company doesnt even know how much they would cost but it does give us an idea of what some phones might look like in the future. if computers are in the future going to help us design vaccines to take on threats like c...

There will be huge challenges to making this practical. for starters, it will have to work out how to stop theyre getting out how to stop dirt getting into the mechanism and scratching the screen, although the design is eye—catching. it is another concept. a tablet that can be folded in half. when it is closes it looks a bit like a tiny laptop which i thought was very cute. and out of all the concepts tcl showed me, i thought this was the most robust and practical. and finally come a trifold t...

So, i actually like to think of it as quantum advantage. quantum advantage is kind of that point in time where you are doing a calculation on a quantum computer that you cant do on a classical computer. so, we were discussing chemistry for example, it would be when we are able to achieve a higher level of accuracy for a molecule that we cannot do today using a classical computer or that is too time intensive to be able to achieve that. both ibm and google believe that we are on the cusp of somet...

If computers are in the future going to help us design vaccines to take on threats like covid—19, well, those computers are probably going to need to be very different. and theyre also going to look very different. this is a quantum computer. in this case, one of googles. and while it is still early days, one of the things people expect quantum processors will eventually be very good at is solving hugely complex medical problems. a lot of calculations we run today with chemistry, you have to m...

This meant that it had reached something called quantum supremacy. but it is something that ibm says is a red herring. they showed something very specific. it was a nice experiment. i think that there is much more work to be done. it was a very specific example. i think that there is a lot of work to be done to be able to roll that out and show a little bit more applicability. so, i actually like to think of it as quantum advantage. quantum advantage is kind of that point in time where you are d...

Lawsuit against huawei, accusing the chinese giant of a decades long plan to steal technology from us firms. here is the chief security officer. if we are forced to purchase the components that recently comprised 30% of all huawei products around the world, if we are forced to go and not purchase from nearly 300 american companies that are $11 billion a year, if we are forced to not use google for our operating system, the second—largest mobile device maker in the world, we will be fine. but w...

Huawei, which has been banned there, can covertly access mobile phone networks around the world through backdoors. monica miller has more on this. well, the us has not been shy in casting aspersions about the relationship between huawei and ageing officials, saying it is too cosy for their comfort. —— beijing. they have also said they want their allies to also be suspicious of theirs. the us said not too long ago they have banned us companies from using huawei technology in the given indicat...

That could be seen even 5000 miles away in this yorkshire factory dependent on components shipped in in the centre of the outbreak. we have been able to find alternatives for the materials but because we need them quickly now, then there are price implications and some of that has been as much as three times the original cost. there has been major disruption, likely to delay recovery in our world economy. president act ii appeared in beijing ina president act ii appeared in beijing in a protecti...

For key parts manufactured in china are broken, with many global businesses seeking alternatives, for example in vietnam. the already weak chinese economy is expected to see the slowest three months in over a decade, possibly a contraction, and in turn that could see the same for the entire world economy, an immediate global hit worth over £200 million. worth over £200 billion. the expectation — that this will be made up over the rest of the year when, or if, things get back to normal. that ...

The mice, the mould. being broken into. theyve been there about, i would say about three weeks. these are bending because, the building is, because its not structurally safe. if you bothered to come round and actually speak to residents or go to speak to people in bradcock, you would understand what they know. you cannot turn round and say to me... having been elected locally for 18 years, i certainly have been round marsh drive and graham park estate, more, more than you have. more than you hav...
