Guest Post by Philip Piletic In the earliest days of the internet, nobody thought much about the concept of privacy. After all, surfing the internet was a mostly anonymous exercise. Advertising was static and one-size-fits-all. And there were no social media sites commanding user bases in the billions. But along the way, things began to …
Bitcoin has been trading over $30,000 and Etherium is over $1000. Bitcoin is up 300% since late in 2020. Bitcoin gained the public support of more billionaires and mainstream investors. Paul Tudor Jones and Stanley Druckenmiller have both put money in bitcoin and pointed out its potential as an inflation hedge. Paul Tudor Jones II …
There are two major events in the middle east today. Iran hijacked a South Korean ship and Saudi Arabia and Qatar have a new diplomatic deal that creates a unified Arab front against Iran. 1. Iran seized a South Korean-flagged tanker in Gulf waters and detained its crew. $7 billion in Iranian funds are frozen …
American Institute for Manufacturing Integrated Photonics (AIM Photonics), a program of NY CREATES gave $19 million in research program awards for advanced integrated photonics under The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Lasers for Universal Microscale Optical Systems (LUMOS) program. AIM Photonics is advancing technology for applications with self-driving vehicles, AR, 3D camera technology, quantum …
Researchers at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) have demonstrated large, uniform tensile elastic straining of microfabricated diamond arrays through the nanomechanical approach. This has the potential of strained diamonds as prime candidates for advanced functional devices in microelectronics, photonics, and quantum information technologies. Above – CAPTION Stretching of microfabricated diamonds pave ways for applications …
In 2020, Tesla produced and delivered half a million vehicles. In addition, Model Y production in Shanghai has begun, with deliveries expected to begin shortly. The delivery count should be viewed as slightly conservative, as we only count a car as delivered if it is transferred to the customer and all paperwork is correct. Final …
Elon Musk tweeted that SpaceX will try to catch the Super Heavy Booster with the launch tower arm. Large grid fins will take the load. This will save the cost of legs and enable the booster to be ready for re-launch in under one hour. The landing legs on the Falcon 9 weigh about 2000 …
New research could increase desalination membrane efficiency by 30% to 40% resulting in more water filtered with less energy/A> — a potential cost-saving update to current desalination processes. “Reverse osmosis membranes are so widely used for cleaning water, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about them,” Kumar said. “We couldn’t really say how …
A brain-inspired computing architecture speeds up complex data processing by running its algorithms inside its memory, significantly saving time and energy. Above – Software and hardware overview of DUAL based on Hyperdimensional Computing CREDIT IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture 2020 Scientists at DGIST in Korea, and UC Irvine and UC San Diego in the US, …
