Supercar Blondie is known well for giving the world exclusive video reviews of concept cars, and while most of them have her involved and happy, the Hyperion XP-1, a car powered by a hydrogen propulsion system, left her amused.

The Earth’s core may have stopped spinning, or may even now be spinning backwards, according to a new study.
The core of our planet is made up of an outer layer of liquid metal, and an inner core of solid metal that is about 70 per cent the size of the Moon.
It is generally believed that the core rotates counter-clockwise when viewed from the North Pole, like the rest of planet Earth.
The sun is growing more active in its regular 11-year-cycle and has a huge sunspot serving as a hotbed of flares and other activity.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Sorry, IGNORING A C Clarks PLOTS FOR 2010 AND 3001!!!!!!!!!!! Some 203 years and 2 months after astronaut Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood, this short approved by the self same actor) is murdered by the Discovery’s A.I. HAL 9,000, his body encounters a Monolith. Using practical models and digital versions of the analogue VFX tricks used in the original, with respect to Stanley Kubrick, Douglas Trumbull and Wally Veevers.

How many galaxies are there in the universe, and is it possible to compute them? As per BBC Sky and Night, the number of galaxies in the universe will be equal to the Universe’s size multiplied by the average number density of galaxies. In practice, estimating these two figures properly is tough.
The universe’s overall size is unknown. Recent studies suggest that the number of galaxies may be limitless, meaning that there are an endless number of galaxies.
SUMMARY Researchers at the George Washington University, together with researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the deep-tech venture startup Optelligence LLC, have developed an optical convolutional neural network accelerator capable of processing large amounts of information, on the order of petabytes, per second. This innovation, which harnesses the massive parallelism of light, heralds a new era of optical signal processing for machine learning with numerous applications, including in self-driving cars, 5G networks, data-centers, biomedical diagnostics, data-security and more.
THE SITUATION Global demand for machine learning hardware is dramatically outpacing current computing power supplies. State-of-the-art electronic hardware, such as graphics processing units and tensor processing unit accelerators, help mitigate this, but are intrinsically challenged by serial data processing that requires iterative data processing and encounters delays from wiring and circuit constraints. Optical alternatives to electronic hardware could help speed up machine learning processes by simplifying the way information is processed in a non-iterative way. However, photonic-based machine learning is typically limited by the number of components that can be placed on photonic integrated circuits, limiting the interconnectivity, while free-space spatial-light-modulators are restricted to slow programming speeds.
THE SOLUTION To achieve a breakthrough in this optical machine learning system, the researchers replaced spatial light modulators with digital mirror-based technology, thus developing a system over 100 times faster. The non-iterative timing of this processor, in combination with rapid programmability and massive parallelization, enables this optical machine learning system to outperform even the top-of-the-line graphics processing units by over one order of magnitude, with room for further optimization beyond the initial prototype.
