Study finds new design of computer memory that reduce energy consumption

Researchers created a new design for computer memory that could improve performance while also lowering the energy demands of internet and communications technologies, which are expected to consume nearly a third of global electricity in the next ten years.The study was published in the journal, 'Science Advances.' The University of Cambridge-led team created a device that processes data in the same way that synapses in the human brain do. The devices are made of hafnium oxide, a material that is already used in the…

AI and energy consumption: Are we headed for trouble?

At this point, we’re all familiar with artificial intelligence and the potential issues with overreach, privacy, plagiarism, misinformation, and potential loss of work for actual humans. Not to mention just the general ick factor of it all.But you may not be aware that AI could potentially cause energy consumption to skyrocket so much that existing power grids can’t keep up. For example, just one single training run for an AI engine like Bard or ChatGPT consumes as much power as 120 households consume in an entire year.…

How Salt Consumption May Influence Your Cognitive Health

A recent study conducted by Japanese researchers has revealed that the interaction of angiotensin II-AT1 and prostaglandin E2-EP1 systems, amplified by high salt intake, causes hypertension that leads to emotional and cognitive impairment, which involves changes to tau protein and other enzymes in the brain. These findings, which were reversed by antihypertensive medication and genetic modification, suggest new potential therapeutic targets for hypertension-induced dementia, which is particularly significant given the…

Apple Supplier Foxconn’s Sales Drop 9.5 Percent YoY Due to Low Global Smart Electronics Consumption

Taiwan's Foxconn, the world's largest contract electronics maker and major iPhone assembler for Apple, said on Monday that revenue in May fell 9.5 percent year-on-year due to weakness in smart consumer electronics during the traditional low season.Foxconn, formally called Hon Hai Precision Industry, said revenue last month reached TWD 450.7 billion (roughly Rs. 1,21,300 crore), in line with its expectations, though it was up 5 percent compared with April.For smart consumer electronics products, which include smartphones…

Why our news consumption might be more worrisome than misinformation

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Misinformation and echo chambers are often used to explain polarization and political divides between people. New research, however, finds there is another factor we should worry about, namely our online consumption of quality news, or exactly the lack of it. Most people do not read misinformation or inhabit echo chambers or radical rabbit holes.

What I use to measure device power consumption (and what you should use instead)

The Hopi HP-9800 power meter. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNETAs part of my work, I test a lot of devices that are mains-powered (or wall-powered), and one of the tests I carry out is power consumption. I've had a lot of questions about the devices I use for this task, so here I'll outline the tools I use, why I use then, why you probably shouldn't use them, and what you should use instead.There are a lot of different tools you can buy for measuing power consumption, ranging from very cheap to very expensive. Also: The…

Earliest evidence of wine consumption in the Americas found in Caribbean

Ceramic samples from the six categories of pottery analyzed. 1 = Chican-Ostionoid (217), 2 = Indigenous undecorated (231), 3 = buren (220), 4 = Spanish olive jar (175), 5 = European glazed (227), 6 = green bacin (229). Scale = 5 cm. Credit: Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences (2023). DOI: 10.1007/s12520-023-01771-y Scientists have found what they believe to be the earliest known evidence of wine drinking in the…

Overcoming barriers to increase cloud consumption

Thank you for joining us on "The cloud hub: From cloud chaos to clarity." Often enough, investment in the cloud is underutilized or wasted.
