Using LFP batteries, Yotta Energy has eliminated the need to install a separate battery pack and the extra wiring that it needs.
A Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf research team has controlled qubits using magnons, magnetic wave-like excitations in microscopic magnetic disks.
The massive CHIPS investment will support Intel’s construction and expansion projects across four states and is also likely to create nearly 30,000 jobs.
Marking a significant advancement in medical technologies, a team of researchers from the Medical University of Vienna and Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) has 3D printed the world’s first high-resolution brain.
Modeled after the structure of brain fibers, the 3D-printed “brain phantom” can be imaged with a specialized form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) known as dMRI.
UK-based construction technology firm Automated Architecture (AUAR) has bagged $3.2 million in funding to advance its mission to automate the construction process to solve housing-related issues.
AUAR is creating a network of dispersed micro-factories for environmentally friendly timber homes. AUAR claims that it presents an alternative vision for the built environment, in which local ecosystems comprising developers, contractors, architects, and communities are empowered to construct better homes instead of centralized automation in massive factories.
A conversation with Emmanuel Chaligné, the COO and Partner at French-based Vivokam, sparks insights into the future of AI voice technology.
Chinese researchers have found that high-energy lasers could be an effective counter to hypersonic missiles.
They’ve discovered that there is an upper limit to the power the laser needs to be, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) has reported.

March 14, 2024 – Detecting colorectal cancer may be as easy as a simple blood test one day.
Promising results of this new option — the results of the study were published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine — could help convert the estimated 1 in 3 people who don’t stay up-to-date on screenings that should begin at age 45. If everyone in the U.S. got screened regularly, as many as 90% of deaths linked to colorectal cancer may be avoided, the researchers wrote. Current screening options are often considered unpleasant experiences — collecting a fecal sample at home and mailing it, or taking laxatives and going under sedation for a colonoscopy procedure.
The blood test can detect DNA shed into the bloodstream from tumors, and in a trial of more than 7,800 people, the new test accurately detected colon cancer at early, treatable stages 87% of the time. The false-positive rate was 10%. The test was less successful at detecting advanced precancerous lesions, with just 13% being detected. In comparison, fecal tests are about 42% successful at early detection, and colonoscopies are up to 93% accurate, according to a summary from the American College of Surgeons.
