It’s a mild bump from 6GB, but it is still good for consumers, at least.

Apple supplier TSMC will begin trial production of 2nm chips next week for next year’s debut on iPhone 17 lineup.

RIKEN chemists have developed a molecule that enhances the performance of organic electronic devices and is also more stable than previous alternatives, raising the chances that it could be used in industrial manufacturing processes (Advanced Materials, “A novel n-type molecular dopant with a closed-shell electronic structure applicable to the vacuum-deposition process”).

Conventional electronic devices are made from hard semiconductors such as silicon, but increasingly organic semiconductor molecules are appearing in devices such as televisions and cell-phone displays that use organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).

5:40 P.M. UPDATE: Spectrum has issued a statement saying a massive outage of its internet, phone and cable TV service across the state is due to damage caused by Hurricane Beryl. “The outage is due to a third-party infrastructure issue caused by the impact of Hurricane Beryl,” the company said at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. “We apologize for the inconvenience and are working with the third party to resolve this as quickly as possible.” The Bexar County…

Now, you can have almost ‘any text on your phone’ read to you in the voices of legendary actors. But many are disturbed by the idea.

The ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove a single electron from an atom. If the atom has more than one electron, each one requires more energy than the previous one. The result is a series of increasing energy levels, and in the quantum world these energies correspond to frequencies, as in a musical scale.

This raises an interesting question: if we could hear these frequencies how would they sound? I created an app to find out, and in this video I used my app to share what I learned. As it turns out, the results are quite musical.

Researchers have developed a genetic algorithm for designing phononic crystal nanostructures, significantly advancing quantum computing and communications.

The new method, validated through experiments, allows precise control of acoustic wave propagation, promising improvements in devices like smartphones and quantum computers.

Quantum Computing Revolution

Authy’s 2FA app has been hacked and as many as 33 million cellphone numbers have been stolen.

AR/VR/MR glasses released in April 2024? i didnt know they were so far along already. Im curious if anyone used these, and impressions of? Still a little bulky, but, my current prediction is this will take over place of cell phones 2029/2030. But, needs to be slimmed down a bit yet; 5 years.
