Louis A. Del Monte.

Nearly invisible weapons of mass destruction.

Nanoweapons just might render humanity extinct in the near future—a notion that is frightening and shocking but potentially true. In Nanoweapons Louis A. Del Monte describes the most deadly generation of military weapons the world has ever encountered. With dimensions one-thousandth the diameter of a single strand of human hair, this technology threatens to eradicate humanity as it incites world governments to compete in the deadliest arms race ever.

Since I won’t be posting on Facebook that much in the future. I will leave you with this post, and also hope to see you there, as with Twitter.

Neal Stephenson invented the metaverse. At least from an imagination standpoint. Though other science fiction writers had similar ideas—and the pioneers of VR were already building artificial worlds—Stephenson’s 1992 novel Snow Crash not only fleshed out the vision of escaping to a place where digital displaced the physical, it also gave it a name. That book cemented him as a major writer, and since then he’s had huge success.

Plus: Depicting the nerd mindset; the best lettuce; and the future is flooding.

When Intel established its Intel Foundry Services division in early 2021, it was clear that it needed the contract chipmaking unit to be on par with Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. in terms of scale as fabs and production nodes are getting costlier. The goal was ambitious from the start, and it looks like the company intends to be rather aggressive too as it plans to become the second largest foundry by 2030.

“Our ambition is to be the No. 2 foundry in the world by the end of the decade, and [we] expect to generate leading foundry margins,” said Randhir Thakur, the president of Intel Foundry Services, in an interview with Nikkei Asia.

ChopValue, a Canadian company, repurposes millions of chopsticks every year as shelves, furniture and countertops.

A Swedish company has secured funding to build the first large-scale hydrogen-based steel plant, which could remove 95% of CO₂ emissions from the reduction process.

O.o!!!

Excessive technology use could cause future humans to form a second eyelid and alterations in the hands and back.

Advancements in technology change how people work and function, often speeding up the process or creating efficiency. However, there is a possibility that technology is affecting our bodies, especially from using it often.

A research project commissioned by TollFreeForwarding warns that using technology too much could form abnormalities. Researchers collaborated with a 3D designer to make images of a “future human” that shows tech-related problems from daily technological use. Researchers named the 3D model “Mindy”.

Electrical charge can change the size of water droplets and cause them to ‘explode.’

A new scientific experiment has proven that electrically charging clouds can change the size of the droplets in fog or, possibly, droplets in a cloud that is having trouble moving to fall as rain.

The new experiment assists a “constipated cloud” in becoming rainy, according to a report published by The Guardian on Thursday.

“We perceive the world as a memory,” the authors of a recent paper wrote. “In other words, technically, we are not consciously perceiving anything directly.”
