Scientists in Japan have developed a process that aims to minimize toxic materials used in producing Quantum Dot (QD) LEDs. In the same stroke, the research team based at the Natural Science Center for Basic Research and Development at Hiroshima University found a way to make good use of many tons of agricultural waste. “Since…
With its power consumption of 450W and higher, Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card can certainly benefit from liquid cooling. But unfortunately, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti adopts a new design with all memory chips on the front, which is why it needs all-new water blocks. This is where EK Water Blocks comes into…
A research team with the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have designed a quantum cryptography chip aimed at the security demands of the quantum computing revolution. The RISC-V chip, which was already sent to manufacturing according to the researchers’ design, aims to be a working proof of concept for protecting systems against quantum computing-based attacks,…
While there are big companies that do accept cryptocurrencies as payments, Amazon is not one of them, perhaps because of its unpredictable volatility. Yet the company is about to change its attitude towards cryptocurrencies and even plans to develop a special cryptocurrency and blockchain strategy. Business Insider has found an Amazon job listing that seeks a leader who…
Researchers with Arm and PragmatIC have developed the first true microprocessor that employs plastic – not silicon – as its base material. The 32-bit, PlasticArm microprocessor concept is based on the company’s M0 design and features some 18,000 logic gates, a processor, memory, controller, and inputs and outputs. The development, published in Nature, will allow…
According to a publication by TSMC, NTU, and MIT in Nature (noticed by Verdict), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and its research partners from the National University of Taiwan (NTU) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have said that they have developed material that will be used for transistor contact electrodes with an upcoming 1nm fabrication process. Every…
