Sony Is Working On Mobile-to-Mobile Wireless Charging Technology

Mar 17, 2017
So you are in a party with your friends, and your phone is running low on battery. Oops! The ideal solution is to charge your phone using a charger or a power bank, but not everyone carries power banks or chargers with them all the time, especially in a party. What if you can charge your phone wirelessly using another phone when it runs out of battery? Isn't that great? Well, thanks to Sony, you might soon be able to use your friends' phones to charge your own device. According to a recently published patent application, Sony is working on a new futuristic technique that enables wireless power exchange between various nearby consumer electronic devices, including smartphones, computers, microwave, washing machine, fridges, and TVs, without cords. Wireless charging isn't a new concept at all, but this is the first time when the Near Field Communications (NFC) technology is being used for power transfer wirelessly between two devices, that too over considerable distanc

Nothing could be scarier than that little battery icon in our smart hits the red. All our focus shifts towards searching the nearest charging outlet – and it happens all too often. Yes, the short battery life is the worst thing about our smartphones. It forces us to always carry chargers and battery banks, as well as continually chase plugs walls. But don't worry; Apple is looking to fix this problem soon. The technology giant is working on batteries that could Power its MacBooks and iPhones for 7 Days , according to a new patent filed by Apple. Batteries that Last for 7 Days Apple has filed a new patent for a ' fuel cell system ' that would replace the existing toxic batteries resided in its Macbooks with cells that could last " for days or even weeks without refuelling ". The patent, ' Fuel Cell System to Power a Portable Computing Device ', describes: A fuel cell system that converts fuel to electrical power A controller

Imagine a world where the software that powers your favorite apps, secures your online transactions, and keeps your digital life could be outsmarted and taken over by a cleverly disguised piece of code. This isn't a plot from the latest cyber-thriller; it's actually been a reality for years now. How this will change – in a positive or negative direction – as artificial intelligence (AI) takes on a larger role in software development is one of the big uncertainties related to this brave new world. In an era where AI promises to revolutionize how we live and work, the conversation about its security implications cannot be sidelined. As we increasingly rely on AI for tasks ranging from mundane to mission-critical, the question is no longer just, "Can AI  boost cybersecurity ?" (sure!), but also "Can AI  be hacked? " (yes!), "Can one use AI  to hack? " (of course!), and "Will AI  produce secure software ?" (well…). This thought leadership article is about the latter. Cydrill  (a
