The TIMELINE of Star Trek: Prodigy Explained

Posted by in category: time travel

With the timeline of Star Trek: Prodigy being quite confusing and complex, we thought it would be worth a video dedicated to the timeline of Prodigy? So strap in as we deal with Vau N’akat time travel, how prodigy fits in with Picard, and much more!

This is gonna be interesting because we first have to start with the Protostar, we will somewhat go chronologically down the timeline, but with time travel being involved, we will jump to relevant times to further explain things.

Rumoured AI-enhanced Nvidia graphics driver could boost performance

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Not content with accelerating graphics performance with AI via its various DLSS technologies (opens in new tab) and in designing GPUs themselves, Nvidia is now using AI to improve graphics drivers and further boost performance by up to 30%. Well, that’s the latest rumour.

According to CapFrameX (opens in new tab) (via OC3D (opens in new tab) ), maker of frame time analysis tools, Nvidia is working on AI-enhanced graphics drivers. Performance boosts of up to 30% are mooted, with the average performance benefit a more modest 10%.

Visualizing the Inside of Cells at Previously Impossible Resolutions Provides Vivid Insights Into How They Work

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

New tools are steadily bridging this gap. And ongoing development of one particular technique, cryo-electron tomography, or cryo-ET, has the potential to deepen how researchers study and understand how cells function in health and disease.

As the former editor-in-chief of Science magazine and as a researcher who has studied hard-to-visualize large protein structures for decades, I have witnessed astounding progress in the development of tools that can determine biological structures in detail. Just as it becomes easier to understand how complicated systems work when you know what they look like, understanding how biological structures fit together in a cell is key to understanding how organisms function.

Scientists Find Something Strange in Brain Scans of Kids Hooked on Social Media

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

It’s no secret that social media use can change adult brain anatomy, but a new study suggests that it may impact the developing brains of adolescents in profound ways as well.

Researchers from the University of North Carolina have found, in one of the first studies of its kind, that habitually checking social feeds may change the ways early adolescents process social rewards and punishments — changes concrete enough that they can be seen as distinct and divergent neural pathways in brain scans.

Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics, the paper found significant changes to the amygdala, the bit of grey matter in the brain associated with memory and emotions, in the brains of the 169 tween study participants from a rural North Carolina middle school.

Scientists find pair of black holes dining together in nearby galaxy merger

Posted by in category: cosmology

While studying a nearby pair of merging galaxies using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)—an international observatory co-operated by the U.S. National Science Foundation’s National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO)—scientists discovered two supermassive black holes growing simultaneously near the center of the newly coalescing galaxy.
