Biology Inspires a New Kind of Water-Based Circuit That Could Transform Computing
The future of neural network computing could be a little soggier than we were expecting. A team of physicists has successfully developed an ionic circuit – a processor based on the movements of charged atoms and molecules in an aqueous solution, rather than electrons in a solid semiconductor. Since this is closer to the way…

Trends in Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality for the Year 2022
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality have witnessed accelerated growth, especially in the last couple of years. Most of it is due to the “new normal” ways becoming the norm. This is especially true with respect to communicating with others during the pandemic. Virtual, Augmented, Mixed, and Extended Realities are gradually intruding into our imagination. Before…

Eco-anarchists fight nanotechnology research with bombs
/ An eco-anarchist group known as Individuals Tending Towards Savagery (ITS) has been responsible for several bombings at prominent nanotechnology universities in Mexico over the past two years, Nature reports. Major advances in technology often stir opposition, and as Nature reports, nanotechnology is no exception: an eco-anarchist group known as Individuals Tending Towards Savagery (ITS) has been responsible…

Anker’s second-generation Nano II GaN chargers are even smaller than before
/ GaN gets better Anker’s GaN (gallium nitride) chargers are some of the best around, offering tiny sizes but powerful charging capabilities. Now, the company is introducing its second-generation GaN-based chargers: the Anker Nano II lineup. The new Nano II chargers use what Anker calls its “GaN II” technology, the company’s second-generation version of the…

Scientists use enzymes to sober up inebriated mice
Researchers in California have developed a way to quickly reduce the blood alcohol levels of drunken mice, potentially paving the way for a so-called “booze pill” that would instantaneously combat intoxication. The study, led by UCLA professor Yunfeng Lu and USC’s Cheng Ji, involves the combination of two enzymes, wrapped in a nanoscale shell. Drunken mice injected…

Smart microrobots walk autonomously with electronic ‘brains’
Cornell University researchers have installed electronic “brains” on solar-powered robots that are 100 to 250 micrometers in size — smaller than an ant’s head — so that they can walk autonomously without being externally controlled. While Cornell researchers and others have previously developed microscopic machines that can crawl, swim, walk and fold themselves up, there…

Jensen Huang Q&A: Why Moore’s Law is dead, but the metaverse will still happen
Moore’s Law, posited by Intel chairman emeritus Gordon Moore in 1965, stated that the number of components on a chip would double every couple of years. It was a metronome that signaled that every couple of years chip performance would either double or costs would halve. And it held true for decades, based mostly on…
