Qualcomm Photography is a perfect example of just how much influence mobile devices can have on global industries. These cameras often required multiple lenses and a computer capable of running photo editing software without running into hitches....

An international research team recently took a leap toward building a high-performing, scalable “quantum internet.” A functional quantum internet would dramatically change the fields of secure communication, data storage, and computing. “This work meets the technological benchmarks required for a quantum internet system to a very high degree.” gremlin / Getty Images The recent breakthrough at Fermilab is just one of a number ofrecent advancesin quantum computing. Quantum computers allow a different class of algorithms that are impossible for classical computers to perform....

The idea behind Rich Communication Services (RCS) was to create an Android equivalent to Apples iMessage. In short, it would make texting more like using an instant messenger.
