The human eye is considered to be a wonder of evolution, yet despite decades of study, scientists have been unable to pinpoint just how good people are at seeing in the dark. But now a new study has revealed that our eyes may be far better than we could possibly have imagined in dark conditions. It found that the human eye is capable of detecting as little as a single photon - the subatomic particles that make up light - hitting the retina in a dark room. The study found that the human eye (pictured) is able to detect single photons - tiny particles of light - suggesting that people's night vision may be much more advanced than previously thought More than 30,000 trials were carried out by three men in their 20s, with one wearing contact lenses. For each test, the men sat in a completely dark room while wearing headphones with their heads kept motionless using a headrest.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday published his second "master plan," pulling back the curtain on his long-term plans for the electric automaker. The document comes as Tesla is being criticized over its reaction to a high-profile fatality as well as its plan to merge with residential solar firm SolarCity. Here are the three most interesting revelations in Musk's plan. Tesla currently sells two vehicles: The Model S luxury sedan and the Model X luxury SUV, with the cheaper Model 3 sedan on the way. Now, Musk says at least three more are on the way, including "a compact SUV," "a new kind of pickup truck," a semi truck and a city bus.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

Investors looking for the most recent technology trends should look no further than the Gartner's Top Tech Trends 2016 list. The research firm has divided the top tech trends in business into several categories and we dove down into a few them to pull out some of the best ones for investors. They include: driverless cars, artificial intelligence, and virtual and augmented reality. IHS Automotive estimates that 10% of all light vehicles sold by 2035 will by fully autonomous (as in, they can drive themselves around everywhere). The group also anticipates that driverless cars will become ubiquitous some time after 2050.

The brain looks like a featureless expanse of folds and bulges, but it's actually carved up into invisible territories. Each is specialized: Some groups of neurons become active when we recognize faces, others when we read, others when we raise our hands. On Wednesday, in what many experts are calling a milestone in neuroscience, researchers published a spectacular new map of the brain, detailing nearly 100 previously unknown regions -- an unprecedented glimpse into the machinery of the human mind. Scientists will rely on this guide as they attempt to understand virtually every aspect of the brain, from how it develops in children and ages over decades, to how it can be corrupted by diseases like Alzheimer's and schizophrenia. "It's a step towards understanding why we're we," said David Kleinfeld, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Diego, who was not involved in the research.

Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford, poses inside the 2015 Ford Mustang on the set of Good Morning America on December 5, 2013 in New York City. Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally, who led Ford's turnaround during the Great Recession, said he has stayed involved in both the automotive industry and the aerospace industry as consultant and as a member of the board for both Google and 3D printing company Carbon 3D. "It really is amazing -- the convergence between digital technology and everything that is being touched by it," Mulally told the Detroit Free Press in a rare interview. Mulally changed the culture at Ford from internal divisions and back-stabbing to a unified team that embraced Mulally's "One Ford" overhaul plan. On Thursday night Mulally will be inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in metro Detroit, along with pioneering consumer advocate Ralph Nader and Roy Lunn, godfather of the original Ford GT40. "I think his greatest achievement was the culture shift he brought to Ford," Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford said in an e-mail to the Free Press.

Artificially intelligent machines are no longer confined to science fiction novels but are an accepted part of everyday life. While we frequently interact with chatbots, such as Siri, there is now a serious push to make these computer-based'personalities' more trustworthy and likable. Simone Stumpf, senior lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at City University London, believes the key may actually be to make them less human. Microsoft wants to join the rest of the software giants in the AI game, but it just keeps striking out. Weeks ago the firm's lovable teen chatbot turned into a Hitler supporting racists and its most recent attempt, CaptionBot hasn't lived up to its potential either.

The human eye is capable of detecting the presence of a single photon, the smallest measurable unit of light, in the dark, researchers said. In a study first published in the journal Nature Communications Tuesday, scientists found that the human eye can sense individual particles, seemingly concluding the quest to test the limits of human vision. "If you imagine this, it is remarkable: a photon, the smallest physical entity with quantum properties of which light consists, is interacting with a biological system consisting of billions of cells, all in a warm and wet environment," Alipasha Vaziri, lead researcher from the Rockefeller University in New York, reportedly said. "The most amazing thing is that it's not like seeing light. It's almost a feeling, at the threshold of imagination," he told the Nature. The experiment was conducted with three subjects who sat in a dark room for nearly 40 minutes and were then told to look into an optical system.

Are you familiar with self-driving cars? These things would not be possible without the help of Machine Learning--the study of pattern recognition and prediction within the field of computer science. This course is taught by Stanford-educated, Silicon Valley experts that have decades of direct experience under their belts. They will teach you, in the simplest way possible (and with major visual techniques), to put Machine Learning and Python into action. With these skills under your belt, your programming skills will take a whole new level of power.
