Featuring low heat dissipation, devices based on spin-wave logic gates promise to comply with increasing future requirements in information processing. In this work, we present the experimental present Researchers have created an experimental realization of a majority gate based on the interference of spin waves in an Yttrium-Iron-Garnet-based waveguiding structure. This logic device features a …
By the end of 2015, Russia’s Black Sea Fleet will receive a Grigorovich-class frigate, two new improved Kilo-class diesel-electric submarines, and a handful of small Project 21631 missile corvettes. Admiral Grigorovich class frigates (also known as Project 11356M) are based on a joint Indian-Russian endeavor. Admiral Grigorovich class frigates are very modern guided missile ships …
Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) has a projection of the world economy with breakouts for each country in purchasing power parity terms and by market exchange rate in 2050. PWC uses United Nation population projections. The medium UN population projections assume no easing in China’s fertility policy. Fertility policy easing is already happening and will be …
A new study from the Bank for International Settlements shows exactly why rapid finance sector growth is bad for the rest of the economy. When private sector debt passes 100% of GDP, that point is reached. Another way of looking at the same topic is the proportion of workers employed by the finance sector. Once …
A lithium-ion capacitor (LIC) is a hybrid type of capacitor out of the family of the supercapacitors. Activated carbon is used as cathode. The anode of the LIC consists of carbon material which is pre-doped with lithium ion. A lithium-ion capacitor is a hybrid electrochemical energy storage device which combines the intercalation mechanism of a …
Hao Xin, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, has discovered synthetic materials which might one day be used to build microscopes with superlenses and even ‘shields’ which could render military equipment and people invisible to the naked eye. Xin uses metamaterial building blocks and 3D printing to create startling results. These metamaterials, which can …
A startup called Clarifai is offering a service that uses deep learning to understand video. The company says its software can rapidly analyze video clips to recognize 10,000 different objects or types of scene. In a demo given last week at a conference on deep learning, Clarifai’s cofounder and CEO Matthew Zeiler uploaded a clip …
The USA is moving towards sending weapons to Ukraine. Putin and the Russians may have intentionally shot down the Malaysian commercial jet. This would have been a warning that they could proliferate their missile technology to Al Qaeda or ISIS. The Russians may have shoulder launched missiles which can down commercial jets at cruising altitudes …
Terrestrial Energy’s IMSR (Integral Molten Salt Reactor) features a self-contained reactor Core-unit, (the “IMSR Core-unit”), within which all key components are permanently sealed for its operating lifetime. At the end of its 7-year design life, the IMSR Core-unit is shut down and left to cool. At the same time, power is switched to a new …
Nextbigfuture last forecasted the Indian Economy out to 2030 in 2011. India’s 2012 GDP growth ending up being about 5.5% instead of 8 or 9%. Back in 2011 I thought that India would be able to maintain 9% GDP growth out to 2030. This was mainly based on India have a young population, early development …
1. The United States has at least 2,400 billion metric tons of possible carbon dioxide (CO2) storage resource in saline formations, oil and gas reservoirs, and unmineable coal seams, according to a new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) publication. This resource could potentially store hundreds of years’ worth of industrial greenhouse gas emissions, permanently preventing …
