China has just connected what it believes to be the world’s biggest solar power plant to the grid in northwestern Xinjiang. The plant covers an area of 200,000 acres and is reported to have an output of 6.09 billion kWh annually.

The new plant is in the deserts near the region’s capital Ürümqi. The site came online this Monday (June 3) and is being run by the Chinese state-owned Power Construction Corporation, according to Reuters.

The new ultra-light night vision filters which weigh less than a gram almost resemble those seen in the movies. These glasses allow users to catch a glimpse of the visible and infrared spectrum. They also help in allowing the user to drive safely in the dark.

As of now, traditional night vision technology is in use. It required infrared photons to pass through a lens. Then it would meet a photocathode that would help in transforming these photons into electrons.

These electrons travel through a phosphor screen and are reconverted back to photons. These produce an intensely visible image which the human eye can see. In order to prevent thermal noise from being intensified these elements need cryogenic cooling.

The Elemind headband is a soft, lightweight, and flexible wearable designed to be worn throughout the night, regardless of one’s sleeping position. It can collect information using brainwaves and pairs with a smartphone, where users can find details about their sleep patterns.

Where the headband is effective is its ability to use neuromodulation to impact the brainwaves, directing them from wakeful patterns to those of deeper sleep. “Elemind works like noise-cancellation for the brain. You can switch off the world, switch off the stress, and go to sleep faster,” explained Meredith Perry, the CEO and co-founder of Elemind.

Raspberry PI unveils its first AI-enabled board that will let developers and creators use AI in their projects straight out of the box.

Chinese state-owned automaker Dongfeng Motor is partnering with robotics firm UBTech to introduce the latter’s humanoid into its manufacturing process.

The industrial version of the Walker S humanoid robot from Ubtech will be used on the production line of Dongfeng Motor to carry out various manufacturing duties.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has introduced its newest artificial intelligence (AI) processor, the MI325X. This advanced version of the MI300 series is expected to be available in the fourth quarter.

At the Computex technology trade show in Taipei, AMD also announced that it will develop AI chips over the next two years to challenge Nvidia’s dominance.

It should be noted that Nvidia has an almost 80% share in the market of AI semiconductors.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has unveiled plans to build a next-generation AI platform called Rubin — named after astronomer Vera Rubin.

Huang made the announcement at an address ahead of the COMPUTEX technology convention in Taipei, which starts on June 4.
