Thought Transparent World and Privacy
Facebook has created devices that read all the words of your inner voice and Elon Musk’s Neuralink is creating brain-computer interfaces (BCI) that will have thousands and later millions of nodes. Temporarily mitigating remote mind-reading of your inner voice could involve headphones for music and distractions of your own thoughts to less sensitive topics. However, …
IEEE Roadmap Leads to One Nanometer Devices in 2033
The IEEE International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS) has a roadmap to one-nanometer semiconductor devices in 2033. The updated IRDS includes new information on cryogenic electronics and quantum information processing, added benchmarks for applications, and supplemental information and metrics from the More Moore team. There is an update to Beyond CMOS and updates for …
Crazy Rich Asians Push Louis Vuitton Owner Past Bill Gates in Wealth
Chinese customers, who still mainly buy luxury items on overseas trips, buy more than a third of luxury sector sale. They and other Crazy Rich Asians have helped boost the shares of LVMH. Chinese consumers purchased $121 billion worth of luxury goods in 2018 which was 32 percent of the worldwide total. This share is …
Elon Musk’s Neuralink Will Reveal Brain Interface Progress Within 23 Hours
Elon Musk’s brain interface company, Neuralink, will have a live-streamed event starting tomorrow, Tuesday, July 16 at 8PM PST. * In November, 2018, Elon said Neuralink would create microcontrollers to further advance computer-brain interface technology. * Elon has also said the brain interface technology could mitigate severe brain injuries (stroke, cancer lesion, congenital) in about …
EUV Lithography Solved So 5 Nanometer in Months and 6 Years to 2 Nanometers
AMD has released the 7 nanometer 3900, 3950 and other Ryzen 3 processors. Samsung could be months from production of its 5-nanometer chips. This is all due to EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography finally getting solved. EUV lithography technology that we were waiting for 15 years for the semiconductor industry to solve. Extreme ultraviolet lithography is …
Injectable, Expanding Foam Stops Internal Bleeding
Gel-e said the Life Foam treatment is an expanding, injectable foam designed to stop bleeding from abdominal wounds in trauma and battlefield situations. It has received FDA breakthrough designation to accelerate its development. It uses natural biopolymers that are abundant and inexpensive. Trauma from accidents is the third leading cause of death in the US …
Diamonds and Ion Qubits
There are three major competing Quantum computer technologies for qubits. They are nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond lattices, trapped ions, and superconducting qubits. The benefit of trapped-ion systems is that the ions are inherently going to affect one another. They’re easily entangled, plus scientists can turn that interactivity on and off easily so that individual …
Quantum Sensing With Squeezed State of Light Reduces Noise
Oak Ridge National Labs (ORNL) has quantum sensors that use a “squeezed” state of light to greatly reduce statistical noise that occurs in ordinary light. This could impact a wide range of potential applications from airport security scanning to gravitational wave measurements. Above – ACS Photonics. Copyright 2019. American Chemical Society. ACS Photonics – Quantum …
Speed Breeding Lets Us Develop Six Generations of Crops Instead of Two Each Year
Combining speed breeding with gene editing and other technologies is the best way to improve crops. This will make it easier to increase crop yields to feed more people. Although we already have test fields with two to three times the yield of crops. So getting another double would be to feed more than 20 …
