Time travel has long been a popular theme in movies, but scientists believe that the concept of time teleportation is unlikely in reality. However, they do not dismiss the possibility of time travel altogether. The laws of physics suggest that time travel may be possible, but the details are complex.
Physicists explain that traveling to the near future is relatively simple, as we are all doing it right now at a rate of one second per second. Additionally, Einsteinâs special theory of relativity states that the speed at which we move affects the flow of time. In other words, the faster we travel, the slower time passes. Furthermore, Einsteinâs general theory of relativity suggests that gravity also impacts the flow of time. The stronger the nearby gravity, the slower time goes.
âIt was very curiosity-driven,â says Isak Engquist, a professor at Linköping University who led the effort. âWe thought: âCan we do it? Letâs do it, letâs put it out there to the scientific community and hope that someone else has something where they see these could actually be of use in reality.ââ
âI have colleagues who are at the forefront in a field we call electronic plants. ⊠We have worked with dead woods for this project, but the next step might be to integrate it also into living plants.â âIsak Engquist, Linköping University.
Even though the wooden transistor still awaits its killer app, the idea to build wood-based electronics is not as crazy as it sounds. A recent review of wood-based materials reads, âAround 300 million years of tree evolution has yielded over 60,000 woody species, each of which is an engineering masterpiece of nature.â Wood has great structural stability while being highly porous and efficiently transporting water and nutrients. The researchers leveraged these properties to create conducting channels inside the woodâs pores and electrochemically modulate their conductivity with the help of a penetrating electrolyte.
A developer release of Microsoftâs Edge browser has a new address bar advertisement for the companyâs Bing AI â but it only appears when the user goes to its main competitorâs site at bard.google.com.
Microsoftâs Edge can be a great Chromium browser alternative to Googleâs Chrome, but the former is displaying some annoying new rivalry antics: advertising Microsoftâs Bing AI chatbot while youâre trying out Googleâs Bard AI. As pointed out by developer and Twitter user Vitor de Lucca, a new developer version of Edge will now display a new Bing ad next to the Google Bard URL.

VC firms including Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive and K2 Global picking up new shares, according to documents seen by TechCrunch. A source tells us Founders Fund is also investing. Altogether the VCs have put in just over $300 million at a valuation of $27 billion â $29 billion.
Updated to note that the Microsoft investment closed in January. The money from VCs reported here, part of a tender offer, is separate to that.
OpenAI, the startup behind the widely used conversational AI model ChatGPT, has picked up new backers, TechCrunch has learned.
There is a new war happening online: the browser war. Tech companies everywhere are seeking to integrate AI in browsers in an attempt to please and attract users looking for the best possible search experience.
This is according to a new article by FOX Business published on Friday.
This phenomenon was amplified with Microsoftâs announcement earlier this year that it would roll out a new AI-powered version of its Bing search engine and Edge web browser that will incorporate OpenAIâs ChatGPT.
âThe new capability of low thermal budget growth on an 8-inch scale enables the integration of this material with silicon CMOS technology and paves the way for its future electronics application.â
With our pockets and houses filling with electronic gadgets and AI and Big Data fueling the rise of data centers, there is a need for more computer chipsâ more powerful, potent, and denser than ever.
These chips are traditionally made with boxy 3D materials bulky in nature, making stacking these into layers difficult.
Tokamak Energy announced through a press release on Thursday that its magnet technology will be exposed to extreme conditions to test lifetime fusion power plant performance in a US laboratory.
Using an advanced method, researchers have discovered seven elements, including the rare substance terbium, which has never before been found in any exoplanetâs atmosphere.
Last week.
On the heels of the previous discovery, scientists have detected another element, Terbium, in an exoplanetâs atmosphere for the first time. Known as KELT-9, the exoplanet is said to be the galaxyâs hottest, orbiting its distant star about 670 light years from Earth.
The quarterly reports by these tech behemoths show their efforts to increase AI productivity in the face of growing economic worries.
The US tech giants like Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta are increasing their large language model (LLM) investments as a show of their dedication to utilizing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) while cutting costs and jobs.
Since the launch of OpenAIâs ChatGPT chatbot in late 2022, these businesses have put their artificial intelligence AI models on steroids to compete in the market, CNBC reported on Friday.
