At the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, a major advancement has been achieved with the successful acceleration of a high-power uranium beam, achieving an unprecedented 10.4 kilowatts of continuous beam power.

This achievement not only highlights the difficulty in handling uranium but underscores its importance in generating a diverse range of isotopes for scientific study. The high-power beam led to the discovery of three new isotopes within the first eight hours of its operation, marking a significant breakthrough in nuclear science and expanding our understanding of the nuclear landscape.

Breakthrough in Isotope Research.

Researchers have set a new world record for wireless data transmission, achieving speeds of 938 gigabits per second – roughly 9,000 times faster than current 5G phone networks in the UK.

The breakthrough offers a glimpse at a new era of communications through next-generation 6G technology, which is expected to be deployed commercially within the next decade.

A team from University College London (UCL) achieved the breakthrough by combining both radio and optical technologies for the first time in order to overcome the bottleneck caused by frequency congestion.

Henry Ford, the famous American industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor Company, was granted a patent for the construction of a plastic car on January 13th, 1942.

Discover the fascinating story of Henry Ford’s Plastic Hemp Car, an innovative vehicle made from hemp and soybean plastic in the 1940s.

Predibase announces the Predibase Inference Engine, their new infrastructure offering designed to be the best platform for serving fine-tuned small language models (SLMs). The Predibase Inference Engine dramatically improves SLM deployments by making them faster, easily scalable, and more cost-effective for enterprises grappling with the complexities of productionizing AI. Built on Predibase’s innovations–Turbo LoRA and LoRA eXchange (LoRAX)–the Predibase Inference Engine is designed from the ground up to offer a best-in-class experience for serving fine-tuned SLMs.

The need for such an innovation is clear. As AI becomes more entrenched in the fabric of enterprise operations, the challenges associated with deploying and scaling SLMs have grown increasingly daunting. Homegrown infrastructure is often ill-equipped to handle the dynamic demands of high-volume AI workloads, leading to inflated costs, diminished performance, and operational bottlenecks. The Predibase Inference Engine addresses these challenges head-on, offering a tailor-made solution for enterprise AI deployments.

Metasurface technology is an advanced optical technology that is thinner, lighter, and more capable of precisely controlling light through nanometer-sized artificial structures than conventional technologies. KAIST researchers have overcome the limitations of existing metasurface technologies and successfully designed a Janus metasurface capable of perfectly controlling asymmetric light transmission. By applying this technology, they have also proposed an innovative method to significantly enhance security by only decoding information under specific conditions.
