They also detected Celtic fields, charcoal kilns, and cart tracks.

Lurking inside your next gadget may be a chip unlike those of the past. People used to do all the complex silicon design work, but for the first time, AI is helping to build new chips for data centers, smartphones, and IoT devices. AI firm Synopsys has announced that its DSO.ai tool has successfully aided in the design of 100 chips, and it expects that upward trend to continue.

Companies like STMicroelectronics and SK Hynix have turned to Synopsys to accelerate semiconductor designs in an increasingly competitive environment. The past few years have seen demand for new chips increase while materials and costs have rocketed upward. Therefore, companies are looking for ways to get more done with less, and that’s what tools like DSO.ai are all about.

The tool can search design spaces, telling its human masters how best to arrange components to optimize power, performance, and area, or PPA as it’s often called. Among those 100 AI-assisted chip designs, companies have seen up to a 25% drop in power requirements and a 3x productivity increase for engineers. SK Hynix says a recent DSO.ai project resulted in a 15% cell area reduction and a 5% die shrink.

Deciphering the behavior of cephalopods can be messy.

The purpose of such an elaborate structure remains a big open question.

There’s a lot about ecology in frank Herbert’s dune saga and eco mysticism as well.

No one can stand in these solitudes unmoved, and not feel that there is more in man than the mere breath of his body.

The 3D-printed rocket from Relativity Space may make its debut flight this month if all goes to plan, marking the first liquid natural gas booster to reach orbit.

This has been the news lately. This is a good breakdown of info and apparently Katcher wishes to do dog trials.

In this video we provide a quick update on activities at Yuvan Research. It is very exciting to see that Sima, the last remaining rat in the E5 trial is still alive and has surpassed the age of the previous record for lifespan of a Sprague Dawley rat.

Astronomers have discovered a monstrous black hole with an appetite and a sweet tooth. The black hole is ripping apart an unfortunate star, stretching it like taffy and shaping the “leftovers” into a stellar donut the size of the solar system before feasting on this cosmic confectionary.

The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN or “Assassin”) first spotted the violent incident, referred to as a tidal disruption event (TDE), via a flash of high-energy radiation. The feast is taking place at the heart of a galaxy 300 million light-years away.
