Nara Logics is creating AI for all the businesses and people who could benefit from access to an artificial brain but can't build it themselves.

It will soon be Watson's world.

A new technique to create a single-molecule diode has been developed by scientists, and, in doing so, they have developed molecular diodes that perform 50 times better than all prior designs. This research group is the first to develop a single-molecule diode that may have real-world technological applications for nanoscale devices.

This cell database serves as a first step toward a full-scale understanding of the brain.

The mystery of the avatar who looks like Benedict Cumberbatch deepens: Darius Godric not only looks like actor playing the BBC's latest incarnations of Mr. Holmes, but he's build out an incredibly detailed recreation of the show's 221B Baker Street....
