Three years after the release of his fifth studio album Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Logic has revealed he created the project to be intentionally controversial. During a Twitter Q&A on Sunday, the DMV rapper was asked about the existence of a Confessions of a Dangerous Mind side B. Although he denied that there’s a side B in the vault, Logic shared that the album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in May 2019, was a satirical “social experiment.”“No but the funny thing is people didn’t realize it was a…

Logic has teamed up with DJ Premier for his smooth new single “Vinyl Days,” the title track from follow-up project to his 2020 album No Pressure.Featuring that distinctive production style from Premier, the track sees Logic going for a crackling, boom-bap inspired approach. It’s a similar style to what he tried out on his recent double single, “Tetris” and “Decades,” the former of which dropped alongside a music video.Earlier this week, Logic announced his intention to drop a new single every week until the arrival of …

Synchronized laser pulses (red and blue) generate a burst of real and virtual charge carriers in graphene that are absorbed by gold metal to produce a net current. “We clarified the role of virtual and real charge carriers in laser-induced currents, and that opened the way to the creation of ultrafast logic gates,” says Ignacio Franco, associate professor of chemistry and physics at the University of Rochester.

Ludwig Wittgenstein joined the army the day after his native Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia in August 1914. He had been serving for almost three months when he received word that his brother Paul, a concert pianist, had lost his right arm in battle. “Again and again,” he wrote in his notebook, “I have to think of poor Paul, who has so suddenly been deprived of his vocation! How terrible! What philosophical outlook would it take to overcome such a thing? Can it even happen except through suicide!”Wittgenstein was…

Researchers constructed self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can perform simple logic functions to demonstrate that it is possible to create stable digital circuits that take advantage of an electron’s properties at quantum scales.In a proof-of-concept study, scientists created self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can perform simple logic functions. The work demonstrates that it is feasible to create stable digital circuits that take advantage of an electron’s properties at quantum scales.One of the…

Good Sodoku developers Zach Gage and Jack Schlesinger are back again today with the launch of a creative new game for iOS, Mac, Android, and PC. Knotwords is a minimal and elegant logic puzzle that offers a familiar yet novel experience. The rules for Knotwords are straightforward, like a standard crossword puzzle, you need to place letters in each section so all the words are valid across and down. However, instead of giving you clues to the full words that will be used in each puzzle, Knotwords places letters…

Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks of computers, and researchers at the University of Rochester have now developed the fastest ones ever created. By zapping graphene and gold with laser pulses, the new logic gates are a million times faster than those in existing computers, demonstrating the viability of “lightwave electronics.”Logic gates take two inputs, compare them, and then output a signal based on the result. They can, for example, output a 1 if both incoming signals are a 1 or a 0, or if either or…
