Qualcomm to acquire Israeli auto-chip maker Autotalks

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI, sustainability, transportation

May 8 (Reuters) — Chip designer Qualcomm Inc (QCOM.O) said on Monday it would buy Israel’s Autotalks Ltd that makes chips used in technology aimed at preventing vehicle crashes, as the U.S. firm looks to deepen its automotive business.

With increasing electric vehicles and automatic features in cars, the number of chips used by automakers is surging, making the automotive market a key growth area for chipmakers.

Autotalks makes dedicated chips used in the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications technology for manned and driverless vehicles to improve road safety.

Four ISS astronauts just took Crew Dragon for a spin

Posted by in category: space travel

Four crewmembers at the International Space Station (ISS) enjoyed a short ride aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Endeavour on Saturday, moving the spacecraft to a different port to make way for a cargo ship arriving in June.

SpaceX Crew-6 members Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg of NASA, along with Sultan Alneyadi of the United Arab Emirates and Andrey Fedyaev of Russia, undocked from the Harmony module’s space-facing port at 7:23 a.m. before flying the short distance to the same module’s forward port.

Vaccine for Bee Venom Allergy

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

Stinging of Hymenoptera can induce IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions in patients with venom allergies, ranging from local to severe systemic reactions and even fatal anaphylaxis. Allergic patients’ quality of life can be primarily improved by injecting increased venom doses to alter their immune response to tolerate venom. This venom-specific immunotherapy is very effective and well tolerated, especially in the administration of vaccines. Creative Biolabs is a world leader in the field of vaccine development. With our extensive experience and advanced platform, we are therefore confident in offering the best vaccine development services for allergic disease.


Creative Biolabs provides vaccine development services for bee venom allergy according to customer’s detailed requirements.

High concentrations of floating neustonic life in the plastic-rich North Pacific Garbage Patch

Posted by in categories: food, habitats

Floating life (neuston) is a core component of the ocean surface food web, but the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic is the only known region of high neustonic abundance. This study reveals high densities of floating life in the plastic-rich Great Pacific Garbage Patch, suggesting that this area could be an important marine habitat.

ETL: The Overlooked Hurdle In Successful Cloud Migration

Posted by in category: business

Co-Founder & CTO of Datametica Solutions, leading the company’s long-term technology vision and ensuring alignment with business strategy.

With the advantages of scalability, enhanced performance and cost-effectiveness, cloud platforms have evolved as a substitute for legacy data warehouses and data lakes. Data warehouse modernization is often the top priority for businesses in present times.

According to Gartner, by 2025, 95% of digital workloads will be hosted in the cloud, which means almost all of us are busy building our cloud migration strategy. However, when developing a seamless cloud migration strategy, people often overlook ETL migration or treat it as an afterthought. This is where you unintentionally invite problems with performance and costs. If you fail to modernize your ETL processes, your company’s analytical data platform could be doomed.

Tweezers in Three Dimensions

Posted by in categories: computing, particle physics, quantum physics

A new kind of 3D optical lattice traps atoms using focused laser spots replicated in multiple planes and could eventually serve as a quantum computing platform.

Researchers have produced 3D lattices of trapped atoms for possible quantum computing tasks, but the standard technology doesn’t allow much control over atom spacing. Now a team has created a new type of 3D lattice by combining optical tweezers—points of focused light that trap atoms—with an optical phenomenon known as the Talbot effect [1]. The team’s 3D tweezer lattice has sites for 10,000 atoms, but with some straightforward modifications, the system could reach 100,000 atoms. Such a large atom arrangement could eventually serve as a platform for a quantum computer with error correction.

3D optical lattices have been around for decades. The standard method for creating them involves crossing six laser beams to generate a 3D interference pattern that traps atoms in either the high-or low-intensity spots (see Synopsis: Pinpointing Qubits in a 3D Lattice). These cold-atom systems have been used as precision clocks and as models of condensed-matter systems. However, the spacing between atoms is fixed by the wavelength of the light, which can limit the control researchers have over the atomic behavior.
