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...
Recent observations reveal that Earth’s Moon may be shrinking as its interior cool, and it’s causing fairly strong moonquakes. These observations are obtained from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Imagery and 5 decade-old data. Launched in...
Scientists had previously assumed that Earth’s mantle doesn’t contribute anything to planet’s magnetism. The new study has proved this assumption wrong. Iron oxide in the Earth’s mantle can retain magnetism at temperatures...
The new concept, named Flying-V, embraces a whole new approach to airplane design. It integrates the fuel tanks, the cargo hold, and the passenger cabin in the wings. The plane will have less aerodynamic resistance and will use 20% less fuel than...
The new study investigates how reading with toddlers affects parenting style. People who frequently read with their children are less likely to involve in harsh parenting. It also leaves a positive impact on children as they are less likely to...
The new instrument allows heat to temporarily flow from cold region to hot region without using any external energy. The process occurs through a series of quasi-equilibrium states, and completely obeys the second law of thermodynamics. What...
Frequent internet use could alter the brain’s structure and cognitive development. It may affect our memory process, attentional capacities, and social interactions. Extensive internet usage is more harmful in early adolescence as it reduces...
Developing and optimizing a large neural network can emit as much as 284,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide. This is equivalent to 5 times the lifetime emission of an average car. Recent advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have...
An average person consumes at least 72,000 particles of plastic every year. When inhalation is included, these estimates rise up to 121,000. The estimates are based on 402 data points from 26 different studies. In 2015, about 4.9 billion metric...
Researchers reveal personality features that predict the rhythm and nature of human sleep. Neuroticism and conscientiousness are found to be highly associated with sleep quality. Sleep is a crucial part of our daily lives. This naturally recurring...
NASA’s NICER recorded an X-ray map of the entire night sky, using data from the first 22 months of its operation. The information on the map can be used to develop a GPS-like navigation system for the solar system. One of the NASA’s...
