Advancements in cloud technology and the proliferation of cloud migrations enables the growth of a “self-service” culture when it comes to Business Intelligence (BI), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) advanced analytics. Here is how intelligent data addresses the chasm in the cloud. Self-service advanced analytics allows business users in an organization to directly…
Purdue engineers develop ceramic coating that controls heat radiation Researchers have engineered ceramic nanotubes, which act as antennas that use light-matter oscillations to control heat radiation. The design is a step toward a new class of ceramics that work more efficiently at high temperatures (Purdue University illustration/Xueji Wang) There are few places with conditions more […]
A new discovery on the internal structure of bone could lead to better treatment of osteoporosis and more durable aircraft components. Density has long been the benchmark for gauging bone strength, with X-rays used to pinpoint strong and weak points as well as detect breaks. While the amount of load a bone can take is […]
