Memory and data storage producer Micron have begun production and shipment of the world’s first 232-layer NAND in Singapore, which marks the first time a NAND manufacturer has surpassed 200 layers. This opens the door for the world’s first 200TB SSDs. For comparison, even the flashiest personal computers usually stop at 2TB of storage, and the current largest SSD in the world is Nimbus Data’s 100TB ExaDrive.Prior to the innovation, the company’s NAND topped out at 176-layers. The new NAND is also 50% faster than Micron’s…

Associating positive or negative emotions to specific memories is core to our survival, allowing us to avoid dangers or seek out beneficial things. Now, researchers at the Salk Institute have identified a specific molecule that seems to drive the assignment of emotion to memories, which could lead to new treatments for anxiety and depression.Say for instance you ate something you found on the ground, then were horribly sick – you’d end up with negative emotions attached to that memory, and hopefully would learn not to eat…

Google users with custom carbon footprint reports to their cloud usage generate Google’s cloud-computing division unveiled tools to help clients monitor and reduce their environmental impact, part of the company’s broader push to fight climate change. It will provide its users with custom carbon footprint reports that detail the carbon emissions their cloud usage generates. A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases that are generated by our actions. The average carbon footprint for a person in the…

Goldman Sachs is coming to rescue Celsius Network with US$2 billion for preventing bankruptcy The global crypto market is highly aware of the Bitcoin crypto crash hitting the lowest US$20k recently. One of the key reasons behind this crypto crash was Celsius Network. The Celsius Network cryptocurrency platform suddenly froze the withdrawal power of crypto investors in the bearish crypto market. The crypto company has apparently stumbled on the investment of Celsius stock. Thus, Goldman Sachs has decided to put a…

The Raspberry Pi community has a rich history of integrating the classic SBC into a plethora of robotic projects and this new RP2040 motor driver board developed by maker Taylor Alexander is paving the way for even more awe-inspiring Pi-powered robots. The board was unveiled earlier this week over at Twitter with an up-close look at its open-source design.This credit-card-sized board uses the RP2040 microcontroller as the main driver for up to two motors using encoders at 45 A per motor supporting up to 60 V. We reached…

Illustration of Andreev reflection between a superconductor and an atomically sharp metal tip. Credit: Aalto University / Jose LadoNew technique helps researchers understand unconventional superconductors.One of nature’s most fascinating quantum phenomena is superconductivity. When a superconducting material is cooled below its critical temperature, electricity can flow without any losses and magnetic fields are expelled.These remarkable properties make superconductors very useful in a wide range of applications including…

Visual of two variations of the catalyst, with a segment of the shell removed to show the interior. The white sphere represents the silica shell, the holes are the pores. The bright green spheres represent the catalytic sites, the ones on the left are much smaller than the ones on the right. The longer red strings represent the polymer chains, and the shorter strings are products after catalysis. All shorter strings are similar in size, representing the consistent selectivity across catalyst variations. Additionally,…

With no way of completely curing the condition, earlier diagnosis of Parkinson's disease can have profound impacts on treatment options and a patient's quality of life. Scientists are making inroads when it comes to picking up the tell-tale signs of the disease's onset, and a new first-of-a-kind study has demonstrated how these might be revealed through an inexpensive blood test that has shown a high degree of accuracy in early trials.Doctors will currently diagnose Parkinson's disease by making an assessment of a…

As you approach the orbit of your new home planet, Gliese 667CC (opens in new tab), you realize you made a terrible, terrible mistake: you didn’t download the latest firmware update for your ships’ communication protocols. While this would be a secondary concern around Earth’s orbit, where the servers holding the installable package reside and radio communications are speedy enough (opens in new tab) to make do, things are different when you’re 22 light-years away from humanity’s cradle. There’s no way for you to…

Amphiphilic assembly-based electrode for high-performance hybrid biofuel cells. Credit: Jinhan ChoAmphiphilic assembly generates hybrid biofuel cells with improved power output and operational stability.Enzyme electrodes are useful in a variety of applications, including biosensing systems and electrochemical devices. Biofuel cells (BFCs) are especially promising candidates for powering a wide range of bioelectronic devices by converting biochemical energy into electricity under mild biological conditions.Despite their…
