    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…

  • How nanotechnology is shaping the future

    Nanotechnology — the manipulation of matter on a molecular level — to shape the future of a wide variety of industries. Consumer electronics, silicon, and health care are a few major areas where nanotechnology could provide major advances in the future, but those aren’t the only places where it can make an impact — researchers…

  • Square launches support for Apple’s Tap to Pay technology

    /  Sellers can now use just their iPhones to complete transactions Square now lets merchants use Apple’s Tap to Pay feature to process transactions. In a press release, the company announced that sellers with a compatible iPhone can use Square’s Point of Sale (POS) app to accept contactless payments. Apple first rolled out Tap to Pay on…

  • Smart microrobots walk autonomously with electronic ‘brains’

    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

    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…
