In Colaboratory, CUDA cannot be used for the torch

Question

The error message is as follows:

RuntimeError   Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-24-06e96beb03a5> in <module>()
     11
     12 x_test = np.array(test_features)
---> 13 x_test_cuda = torch.tensor(x_test, dtype=torch.float).cuda()
     14 test = torch.utils.data.TensorDataset(x_test_cuda)
     15 test_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(test, batch_size=batch_size, shuffle=False)
