In a recent study published in Science Advances, a research team has made significant strides in showcasing the potential of analog hardware utilizing Electrochemical Random Access Memory (ECRAM) devices for commercialization. As the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) technology continues to grow, there is a pressing need for hardware that can keep up with the
Debugging in modern software applications is a daunting task due to the complexity and sheer volume of code involved. Developers often spend a significant amount of their time manually searching for faults, which can account for up to 90% of the total development time. The process of locating bugs, rather than fixing them, has been
Airbus reported a significant blow to its net profit in the first half of the year, with a staggering 46 percent decrease to 825 million euros ($890 million). This decline was primarily driven by a massive writedown in its space operations segment. The company’s commercial aircraft deliveries saw a modest increase of seven planes, contributing
Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York, have made significant strides in developing a self-powered aquatic robot that has the potential to revolutionize the field of aquatic robotics. This new technology, referred to as a “bug,” can skim across the water surface and is designed to address the critical environmental and logistical challenges
The field of renewable energy has seen significant advancements over the years, with a focus on technologies such as photovoltaics, wind turbines, and hydro-power generators. However, one alternative solution for combating climate change involves converting excess or waste heat into electricity using thermoelectric power generation. This method relies on materials with valuable thermoelectric properties to
The landscape of Silicon Valley’s generative AI startups is rapidly changing, with many promising names being acquired or tied to tech giants such as Microsoft and Amazon. Companies like Inflection AI and Adept have seen key executives exit quietly to join larger corporations through discrete transactions, leading critics to believe that these are acquisitions in
Apple has recently made history by reaching a tentative collective bargaining contract with the first unionized company store in the country. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ Coalition of Organized Retail Employees, representing employees at a retail location in Maryland, announced a three-year deal on Friday evening. This groundbreaking agreement includes a pay
In a world where we are constantly bombarded with the latest technological advancements and innovations, it is easy to take for granted the very foundations on which these developments rest.
