Imagine if you could wear an ear… In a new study published on Wednesday in the journal Nature, researchers from around the U.S. created a fiber that can bend under the slightest sounds. When woven into a shirt, the fibers were able to pick up the direction a sound was coming from—even ones as faint…

A US company is planning to dig the world’s deepest hole in order to tap an inexhaustible supply of geothermal energy from the Earth’s crust. MIT-spinoff Quaise Energy has raised $63 million to bore a record-breaking 20km below the planet’s surface – nearly twice as far as the deepest holes ever made – where temperatures…

Black holes are holograms?? According to their theory, black holes could just be holograms. The study took a closer look at the idea of holographic duality, which has become popular to better understand black holes by connecting theories of particles and their interactions and the theory of gravity.

It could take scientists 1,000 years to see anything else like it. Astronomers studying a dead star on the edge of the Milky Way may have found evidence of a type of thermonuclear explosion that’s never been seen before — and which may never be seen again.

This article on Entrepreneur attempts to clear up some of the confusion surrounding Web 3.0. So before you go buy that digital Gucci handbag in Roblox or set up your virtual office headquarters in Decentraland (like the Barbados embassy has recently done), I’d like to give you the low-down on what I understand to be…

Strange ‘domain walls’ act like independent quantum object in the new experiment. Domain walls form when groups of atoms at very low temperatures segregate into different clumps, or “domains.” Between those domains forms a “wall” that behaves so differently from the atoms themselves that scientists consider it an independent quantum object. For more, see this…

Microsoft’s new tool for gaming developers looks to usher in a new era of fast-loading PC games. The DirectStorage I/O system first appeared in Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and S game consoles via Microsoft’s custom NVMe SSD, which helps deliver “blazing-fast multiple gigabytes per second” from the SSD to the Xbox’s AMD-made integrated GPU for…

Apple’s new paralleling chip architecture may have addressed some of the inefficiencies of multiple chips. Apple’s UltraFusion, the name of its packaging technology, uses a narrow silicon slice called an interposer that resides beneath the two M1 Max chips, linking them with 10,000 wires that can carry 2.5 terabytes of data per second over a…

And another sci-fi sounding term – sounds like something from Star Trek. Maybe the folks on Oak Island can use this technology in their search for treasure. Quantum gravity sensors, used to detect the impact of gravity on different features of the Earth, can be used to detect pockets of ground water or tunnels in…

Here’s a take on Web 3.0 from a financial standpoint. consumers, more and more frustrated by big tech firms profiting off their data and undermining their privacy, will increasingly opt to pull their information into the blockchain. Web3 offers people the ability to use decentralized apps that are easy to customize and device-agnostic — therefore…
