Memory storage is a crucial function in both computers and human brains. While traditional computers rely on shuttling data between memory units and a central processing unit, new research is aiming to revolutionize this process. One such breakthrough is the development of nanofluidic memristive devices that use ions instead of electrons and holes to compute

The construction industry is one of the major contributors to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which significantly impacts global warming and climate change. However, scientists have made a breakthrough in designing composite decking materials that have the potential to store more CO2 than is emitted during their production. This innovative approach offers a “carbon-negative” solution that
The scandal that unfolded at a recent tech festival regarding Google’s Gemini chatbot generating images of Black and Asian Nazi soldiers served as a stark warning about the potential ramifications of artificial intelligence in the hands of tech giants. The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, expressed strong disapproval of the errors made by the Gemini
