Scientists discover Earth has another layer in its core
It’s pretty cool we are still discovering items about our planet like this. Scientists have discovered yet another layer deep inside the core of the Earth, a new study suggests. “Traditionally we’ve been taught the Earth has four main layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core,” said Australian National University…
Did the universe’s creator hide a message in the cosmos?
Well, if He did, they haven’t found it yet! A search for a message on “the most cosmic of all billboards, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB),” has failed, a new study finds. The CMB is the oldest light in the universe, visible across all of space. Its microwaves have been traveling since the first atoms…
NVIDIA enters Data Center CPU Market
NVIDIA Grace is the company’s first data center CPU, an Arm-based processor that was designed to deliver 10x the performance of today’s fastest servers on the most complex AI and high performance computing workloads. Grace is a highly specialized processor targeting workloads such as training next-generation NLP models that have more than 1 trillion parameters….
Doctors might have figured out how to cure spinal cord injuries
I’ve been reading about potential cures for spinal injuries for years. Let’s hope they have finally solved it. Doctors from Yale successfully demonstrated a potential precursor for a paralysis cure following spinal cord injuries. The researchers collected stem cells from the bone marrow of patients suffering from various types of spinal cord injuries and then…
Google’s SpeedTest alternative
To test your internet speed, Google has their own version of SpeedTest. If you’re looking to change your internet provider, or are considering increasing your internet speed, it’s a good idea to know where your internet speed currently stands. This will help you better understand what you want and need from a new internet plan….
System on a chip is the new motherboard?
According to Google, that is the case. On an SoC, the latency and bandwidth between different components can be orders of magnitude better, with reduced power and cost compared to composing individual ASICs on a motherboard, Google argues. “Just like on a motherboard, individual functional units (such as CPUs, TPUs, video transcoding, encryption, compression, remote…
Astronomer Just Laid Out a Navigation System For Interstellar Space Travel
It’s not the ship type, but rather a way to navigate in the stars. Using the positions and shifting light of stars, both near and far, astronomer Coryn A.L. Bailer-Jones has demonstrated the feasibility of autonomous, on-the-fly navigation for spacecraft traveling far beyond the Solar System. For more, check out this Science Alert story.
Scientists Might Have Just Stumbled Upon a New Kind of Physics
Intriguing new results at CERN point to a new force of nature that scientists don’t understand. Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have recorded some highly unusual data that could point to an entirely new force of nature, which would mean a whole new area of physics. The secret lies in an elusive, unstable…
Powerlight wireless power transmission
Almost like being back in the Tesla days… In 2019, PowerLight showed that its power-beaming system can transmit 400 watts of power — enough to fire up an array of lights, laptops and a coffeemaker. In 2020, it followed up with a demonstration of a lightweight power receiver suitable for drones. The project proved to…
Samsung Develops First HKMG-Based DDR5 Memory
The 512GB capacity DDR5 module is made possible by an 8-layer TSV structure HKMG material that reduces power by 13 percent while doubling the speed of DDR4. Samsung Electronics, the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has expanded its DDR5 DRAM memory portfolio with the industry’s first 512GB DDR5 module based…
