While LED screen technology is the most affordable for televisions, manufacturers have been exploring better options in an effort to offer better products. One such technology is mini-LED that is an evolutionary technology based on the popular LED-LCD technology. Chinese television manufacturer TCL has pioneered and promoted this technology, and will now be unveiling the next generation of mini-LED technology for televisions in the run up to CES 2020, which is set to take place from January 7 to 10.The news was announced…

PUBG: New State has been officially launched for Android, iOS, and iPadOS devices in more than 200 countries including India. The new battle royale game was announced in February as the latest title in the PUBG (PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds) franchise. It is claimed to bring a next-generation battle royale experience where 100 players will fight using different weapons and strategies. Developed by PUBG Studios, PUBG: New State brings an open-world battleground where players fight in a universe that is set in 2051. It…

The power sector is undergoing a rapid change globally as the world shifts to renewable energy and cuts down on using fossil fuels. However, a big roadblock to generating electricity from wind and solar energy is their intermittent nature due to unfavourable environmental conditions. To address this problem, storage was found in hydrogen batteries. But these, too, suffered from poor efficiency and required massive space to build, which made them complex for thermal management. Now, researchers at a Japanese institute say…

Samsung, the world’s biggest memory chip maker, has unveiled the world’s first 24Gbps GDDR6 DRAM chips. These semiconductor memory chips are made using the 10nm EUV fabrication process. The company said that it has already started sampling 16Gb GDDR6 DRAM chips. The South Korean firm’s new GDDR6 DRAM is made for high-performance GPUs that are used in gaming PCs, gaming laptops, and gaming consoles. The new chips use the HKMG (High-K Metal Gate) material to minimize current leakage. Samsung claims its 24Gbps GDDR6 DRAM…

The LUX-ZEPLIN — a next-generation dark matter detector — has successfully successfully recorded its first startup, according to Berkeley Lab researchers. The dark matter detector is located below the Black Hills in South Dakota at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in the US. It is one of the three 'Generation 2' dark matter experiments selected by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and utilises a two-phase time projection chamber (TPC) that contain seven active tonnes of liquid xenon to look for dark matter…

A new teaser has been posted to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Twitter handle, showing a peek at the next generation of wearable SoCs that’s “coming soon”. The clock is ticking on something big. 👀⌚ pic.twitter.com/0bYaGf3SrF— Snapdragon (@Snapdragon) July 12, 2022 The most recent Snapdragon Wear 4100+ is built on the 12nm process and included a new co-processor to help handle more background tasks like sensor input and sound. This SoC brought performance and battery improvements compared to the Snapdragon Wear 3100 Platform.…

Long predicted but never observed, fluid-like electron whirlpools could be leveraged for next-gen low-power electronics. Credit: Christine Daniloff, MITLong predicted but never observed before, this fluid-like electron behavior could be leveraged for efficient low-power next-generation electronics.Water molecules, although being distinct particles, flow collectively as liquids, creating streams, waves, whirlpools, and other classic fluid phenomena.It isn’t the same with electricity. While an electric current is likewise…

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a design framework to build next-generation analog computing chipsets that could be faster and require less power than the digital chips found in most electronic devices.Using their novel design framework, the team has built a prototype of an analog chipset called ARYABHAT-1 (Analog Reconfigurable Technology And Bias-scalable Hardware for AI Tasks), the Bengaluru-based IISc said in a statement on Tuesday."This type of chipset can be especially helpful…

Image from UnsplashThe field of computer vision has rapidly evolved in recent years and achieved results that seemed like science fiction a few years back. From analyzing X-ray images and diagnosing patients to (semi-)autonomous cars, we’re witnessing a revolution in the making. These breakthroughs have many causes — building better, more accessible compute resources, but also the fact that they are the closest thing we have to Open Source Data Science (OSDS). Revealing the source code to the community unlocks the “wisdom…

ARM has unveiled its next-generation CPU and GPU cores that will be used in 2023 Android smartphones, at least the flagship ones. The Cortex-X3, Cortex-A715, and the refreshed Cortex-A510 CPU cores could be used in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Exynos 2300, and MediaTek’s next-generation flagship chipset. Cortex-X3 offers 25% higher peak performance, Cortex-A715 has 20% better power efficiency The Cortex-X3 CPU core succeeds last year’s Cortex-X2 CPU that’s used in the Dimensity 9000/9000+, Exynos 2200, and the Snapdragon 8…
