1. A memristor has been proposed as an artificial synapse for emerging neuromorphic computing applications. (Nature Nanotechnology) To train a neural network in memristor arrays, changes in weight values in the form of device conductance should be distinct and uniform. …
Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors or CNFETs can now be made 1100 times faster so significant commercialization will finally happen. CNFETs are more energy-efficient than silicon field-effect transistors and could be used to build new types of three-dimensional microprocessors. They found …
Sandy Munro tears apart Tesla EVs to understand exactly how they are made. Sandy says that Tesla is able to control power output to 2-3 millivolts for every group of 46 batteries. Tesla made the right choice to use cylindrical …
Tesla has 80-90% of the electric vehicle market share in the USA. The traditional carmakers have failed to make good electric cars. This seems likely to continue for another three years. The cars that have been announced will not get …
George Church believes that enhancing human intelligence will stay ahead of artificial synthetic intelligence. George Church thinks that combining natural and artificial systems could result in hybrid biological organisms with advanced capabilities. These organisms are likely to improve as rapidly, …
A San Bernardino County transportation agency voted Wednesday, June 3, for a Elon Musks The Boring Co. proposal for a high-speed tunnel linking Rancho Cucamonga with Ontario International Airport. The Boring Company proposal would build a 2.8-mile tunnel, 14 feet …
There is a large gap between the current crop of task-specific narrow AI tools and Artificial General Intelligences (AGIs) envisioned by futurists and SF authors. Ben Goertzel has been working towards AGI. There is also OpenAI and other companies and …
The Roswell Biotechnology and IMEC Molecular Electronics chips will seek to master the integration of molecular devices with nanometer precise CMOS. Molecular electronics will be the next era of biotechnology for next level gene sequencing, many new devices and massive …
Felix Schlang at What About It? provided another great update on SpaceX. He noted the new alloy 304L that will be used for some parts and progress on the heat shield. There was a reminder that Elon expected to go …
The Carnival of Space 661 is up at Universe Today. Universe Today – Trump Signed an Executive Order Allowing Mining of the Moon and Asteroids. On April 6th, the Trump administration took things a step further by signing an executive …
