Researchers mix crude oil with water by significantly raising the pressure and temperature of the composition. The outcomes allow a deeper investigation of the structure and composition of crude oil. Crude oil is currently the most valuable source...
The new ‘universal memory’ can write or erase data using 100x less energy than DRAM. It would allow computers to boot up instantly and imperceptibly go into sleep mode, even between keystrokes. While different types of charge-based...
Scientists create a new ‘glowing protein’ that can advance fluorescence microscopy. Unlike other green fluorescent protein, it is miniature, thermostable (up to 68°C), and doesn’t require oxygen to emit light. The discovery of a...
About 6,241 individuals [aged 15 to 24 years] committed suicide in 2017. Increase in social media use, depression, anxiety, and self-inflicted injuries are the main reason behind this sharp surge. In teenagers aged 15 to 19 years, the suicide rate...
A startup named Lumii makes images appear 3D on IDs, labels, packages, and more. It uses machine learning-inspired algorithms to accurately place tens of millions of ink dots on two sides of a clean film. The design adds motion, depth, as well as...
Believe it or not, guns are an integral part of our society and have been that way since a very long time. The earliest form of a weapon known to us (a bamboo tube powered by gunpowder) is dated back to 10th century A.D. The next major reform in...
TPU is an AI accelerator chip specifically designed for neural network machine learning. TPUs are good for deep learning tasks involving TensorFlow, while GPUs are more general purpose and flexible massively-parallel processors. Machine learning, a...
The annual power consumption of Bitcoin mining sits between 45 and 46 Terawatt-hour. The corresponding CO2 emission goes up 22 megatons per year. This can be compared to the total emissions of cities like Las Vegas or Hamburg. Released as open...
Acids behave quite differently in dense interstellar clouds. The study addresses a basic question of chemistry: whether acid can dissociate in extreme temperatures. The answer is both ‘yes’ and ‘no. Things behave differently in...
New study analyzes how irregular sleeping patterns affect future metabolic abnormalities. Every 1-hour increase in sleep variability can double the odds of hypertension, obesity high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. Modern lifestyle and...
Researchers build an optical random access memory that performs both Read and Write operations at 10 Gigabit per second. This high throughput optical memory units can decrease the ever-growing gap between processor and RAM performance. Optical...
Researchers for the first time have analyzed whether changes in red meat intake over time influence the risk of early death. They found that increasing processed red meat consumption is associated with higher risks of early death due to...
