Nuclear Fusion Is No Longer Science Fiction

Posted by in categories: futurism, nuclear energy

This could modernize the entire power grid with near-limitless energy.

Since scientists first demonstrated nuclear power 70 years ago, the second stage of nuclear power has remained just beyond our fingertips: nuclear fusion power. While promising, the ETA on the technology required to develop and build viable nuclear fusion has remained decades away.

Until now. Probably.

ROBE Array could let small companies access popular form of AI

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI, supercomputing

A breakthrough low-memory technique by Rice University computer scientists could put one of the most resource-intensive forms of artificial intelligence—deep-learning recommendation models (DLRM)—within reach of small companies.

DLRM recommendation systems are a popular form of AI that learns to make suggestions users will find relevant. But with top-of-the-line training models requiring more than a hundred terabytes of memory and supercomputer-scale processing, they’ve only been available to a short list of technology giants with deep pockets.

Rice’s “random offset block embedding ,” or ROBE Array, could change that. It’s an algorithmic approach for slashing the size of DLRM memory structures called embedding tables, and it will be presented this week at the Conference on Machine Learning and Systems (MLSys 2022) in Santa Clara, California, where it earned Outstanding Paper honors.

Maersk Earmarks $2.1 Billion for Ships That Will Run on Methanol

Posted by in categories: energy, transportation

You are looking at a methanol-fed hydrogen fuel cell that may soon be powering marine shipping around the world.


For Maersk, the 12 new ships will help it reduce CO2 emissions by 1.5 million tons annually or 4% of what the company produced in total in 2021. Maersk’s announced commitment is for all future new builds to only burn carbon-neutral fuels. That’s why fuel cells are high on its list of technologies to make that achievement possible.

Methanol Fuel Cells Are a Step Better Than Burning Methanol

Smoking Is Even More Damaging to the Heart Than Thought

Posted by in category: government

According to a new study presented at the European Society of Cardiology’s ESC Congress 2022, smokers have weaker hearts than non-smokers. [1] The research found that the more people smoked, the worse their heart function became. Fortunately, some function was restored when people kicked the habit.

Alzheimer’s Breakthrough: A New Genetic Link Confirmed

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, neuroscience

The groundbreaking research that established the connection between Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s disease is a disease that attacks the brain, causing a decline in mental ability that worsens over time. It is the most common form of dementia and accounts for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases. There is no current cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but there are medications that can help ease the symptoms.
