Apple’s M3 chips: the result of a $1 billion project

Posted by in category: computing

The M3 chips come in three versions: the M3, the M3 Pro, and the M3 Max.

Since moving away from Intel to develop its in-house PC chips laid on the foundation of its mobile A-series chips, Apple’s M series desktop chips have changed the dynamics of the PC industry. The M1 not only proved to be successful but also powerful and efficient at the same time, earning early adopter’s trust for reliability to move to a new ARM-based desktop architecture. With Apple’s Rosetta at play, early adopters could bet on moving away from Intel chips to try their beloved apps and software suits within the new ARM system.

New batteries for electric cars and wearables, backed by multi-million US$ funding, are both fire resistant and flexible

Posted by in categories: climatology, computing, sustainability, wearables

Batteries are regarded as crucial technologies in the battle against climate change, particularly for electric vehicles and storing energy from renewable sources. Anthro Energy’s novel flexible batteries are presently available to wearable manufacturers and could be employed in a variety of areas, including electric cars and laptops.

The innovative batteries score well in fire safety, thanks to new materials and design features that eliminate internal and external mechanical safety risks like explosions. Many of today’s batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, contain a flammable liquid as an electrolyte.

Anthro Energy’s David Mackaniac and his team have created a flexible polymer electrolyte that is malleable like rubber. The new technology provides increased design flexibility for use across a range of devices, with adaptable shapes and sizes to suit specific applications.
