For decades, researchers have been exploring how to store data in glass because of its potential to hold information for a long time—eons—without applying power. A special type of glass that changes color in different […]

The current microelectronics manufacturing method is expensive, slow and energy and resource intensive.This post was originally published on this site.

Many conventional computer architectures are ill-equipped to meet the computational demands of machine learning-based models. In recent years, some engineers have thus been trying to design alternative architectures that could be better suited for running […]

Imagine you’re a chef with a highly sought-after recipe. You write your top-secret instructions in a journal to ensure you remember them, but its location within the book is evident from the folds and tears […]

How much energy is consumed each time we upload an image to social media, which relies on data centers and cloud storage? Data centers currently account for about 1% of global energy consumption, amounting to […]

New technology from Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, is helping the EU establish its own competitive computer manufacturing industry. Researchers have developed components critical for optimizing on-chip memory, a key […]

The US tech giant Apple has always advertised security assurances alongside ever faster processor performance for its products.This post was originally published on this site.

Looking for a quick fix for their fast-growing electricity diets, tech giants are increasingly looking to strike deals with power plant owners to plug in directly, avoiding a potentially longer and more expensive process of […]

Neuromorphic computing—a field that applies principles of neuroscience to computing systems to mimic the brain’s function and structure—needs to scale up if it is to effectively compete with current computing methods.This post was originally published […]

Imagine smartphones that can diagnose diseases, detect counterfeit drugs or warn of spoiled food. Spectral sensing is a powerful technique that identifies materials by analyzing how they interact with light, revealing details far beyond what […]
