Biomimétisme et logiciel: une possibilité à saisir

Est-ce que cela pourrait être un moyen de changer le paradigme après lequel nous courrons ? Le développement de produits logiciels soutenables… Utiliser du biomimétisme dans l’ingénierie logicielle ? Dans le développement de logiciels la métaphore du système a été adoptée comme une pratique de base par la communauté agile. Cent Beck, auteur de Extreme Programming Explained définit une métaphore du système comme suit : «une histoire que tout le monde - les clients, les programmeurs et les gestionnaires - peut expliquer comment le système fonctionne.»

Nous devons changer la façon dont nous comprenons les choses et nous développons des solutions. Pour moi, il s’agit du bioware (Hardware + Software + Vivant). La Métaphore du système pour plusieurs raisons: One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge - Wikipedia. The One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge was an offer by the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) to pay out one million U.S. dollars to anyone who can demonstrate a supernatural or paranormal ability under agreed-upon scientific testing criteria.

A version of the challenge was first issued in 1964, and over a thousand people applied to take it, but none were successful. The challenge was terminated in 2015. History[edit] U.S. Army Could Begin Using Laser Weapons By 2023. Soldiers in the U.S.

U.S. Army Could Begin Using Laser Weapons By 2023

Army may soon be taking to the battlefield with laser weapons, according to a military spokesperson. Speaking to a House of Representatives subcommittee, Army for Research and Technology deputy assistant secretary Mary J. 5 Must-Watch Science Documentaries Exploring Unconventional Theories. New App Can Literally Improve Your Eyesight. The capacity of the brain to rewire itself has given hope to stroke victims and people who have survived injuries, but now is being turned to something with even more widespread appeal – helping baseball players hit the ball more often.

New App Can Literally Improve Your Eyesight

Ultimeyes is an app whose makers claim 30 minutes use a day will train the brain to pick up images at distance with less blurring. While its existence might have been a disaster for the impressionist art movement, its promise is tantalizing for sports players who need to sight a fast moving ball as early and accurately as possible. The visual cortex of the brain turns signals from the eyes to fuzzy patterns. UltimEyes presents us with these patterns directly in the hope the brain will learn to process them more efficiently. Users have to identify faint and fuzzy patterns, which get fainter and fuzzier the better the user gets. Scientists Achieve Quantum Teleportation. One of the hurdles to teleportation has been overcome, with the reliable movement of quantum information between two objects separated by a short distance.

Scientists Achieve Quantum Teleportation

The achievement is still a very, very long way from the movements familiar from science fiction, but strengthens our confidence in the theory of quantum entanglement, one of the most controversial aspects of modern physics. It may, moreover, assist the much closer goal of quantum computing. Certain subatomic particles always exist in paired states. For example, two electrons may have opposite spins. Step Aside Google Image Search, Here’s an Algorithm that Knows What’s in a Picture. The internet is a wealth of information.

Step Aside Google Image Search, Here’s an Algorithm that Knows What’s in a Picture

But you have to know what you’re looking for. If you only know a basic category—like that weird looking modern chair at your buddy’s office—not so good. Search modern chair and prepare to be bombarded with general definitions of chairs or the history of chairs or a mishmash of unlabeled chair pictures. Really what you want are all the specific variations of chairs, browsable by image, so you can recognize your target with a quick scan. From there, you can go on to find out its history, inventor, price, and more. Common Science Myths That Most People Believe.

Six Foods That Increase Or Decrease Your Risk Of Cancer. If you believe cancer is a disease that strikes from nowhere with little in your control to prevent it, you’d be mistaken on both counts.

Each year, around 70 million people are added to the world’s population. If growth continues at this rate, by 2050 the population is expected to reach a whopping 9 billion.

To feed all of those hungry mouths, we will need to produce almost twice as much food as we currently do. But that is going to be no mean feat—we already use 70% of agricultural land to raise livestock, oceans are overfished, environments are becoming polluted and climate change and disease threaten crop production. With almost 1 billion people already chronically hungry, it’s evident we need to buck up our ideas in order to reduce food waste and make food production more efficient. 10 Animals With Incredible Superpowers.
