Researchers develop next-gen semiconductor technology for high-efficiency, low-power artificial intelligence

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

A research team has demonstrated that analog hardware using ECRAM devices can maximize the computational performance of artificial intelligence, showcasing its potential for commercialization. Their research has been published in Science Advances.

The rapid advancement of AI technology, including applications like generative AI, has pushed the scalability of existing digital hardware (CPUs, GPUs, ASICs, etc.) to its limits. Consequently, there is active research into analog hardware specialized for AI computation.

Analog hardware adjusts the resistance of semiconductors based on external voltage or current and utilizes a cross-point array structure with vertically crossed to process AI computation in parallel. Although it offers advantages over digital hardware for specific computational tasks and continuous data processing, meeting the diverse requirements for computational learning and inference remains challenging.

Anti-Aging Antibodies?

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, education, life extension

There’s only one alliterative phrase i like more than ‘the sheekey science show’, and that’s ‘anti-aging antibodies’. now, as it happens, one thing i spent a lot of time working on this year is antibodies. Antibody, make me feel this way. now while i cannot tell you yet what i was/am doing, i can tell you about two recent science stories that exploit antibodies to extend mouse lifespan. Firstly, i will bring your attention to this paper — immunotherapy targeting isoDGR-protein damage extends lifespan and then we’ll look at this paper that came out last month — Inhibition of IL-11 signalling extends mammalian healthspan.

“Impossible” Neutron Breakthrough is Made, Building on Famous Double-Slit Experiment

Posted by in categories: innovation, quantum physics

A breakthrough that builds on the effects observed in the famous “double slit” experiment could allow physicists a greater ability to observe quantum effects within gravitational fields, according to new research published online.

A team of Italian scientists says they have successfully conducted neutron interferometry using more than one silicon crystal in a physics first that once seemed impossible, based on past attempts.
