Synthetic fiber ‘muscles’ could lead to brawny robots and prosthetics
[ad_1] The fibers can range from just a few micrometers in thickness to a few millimeters, and they can be hundreds of meters of long. You can weave other elements into the fiber, too, such as nanowires (as researchers did to measure tension), electrodes or optical fibers. A robotic limb wouldn’t need external, bulky heat […]
Sony says its USB hub is the world’s fastest SD card reader
[ad_1] The hub supports 100W power delivery to handle monitors and other particularly demanding peripherals. You’ll also have USB-C and USB-A connectors to connect devices new and old, not to mention HDMI output for video up to 4K at 30 frames per second.

Computer password inventor Fernando Corbato dies at 93
[ad_1] It’s not Corbato’s only pioneering effort, either. CTSS’ simultaneous usage model reduced the wait time for computer responses from hours to second, making the technology far more practical. His Multics time-sharing system, meanwhile, paved the way for future operating systems like Linux with finer-grained privacy controls, a hierarchical file system and other features that […]
That’s what quantum entanglement looks like
[ad_1] Yeah, we don’t understand it either.Scientists unveil image of quantum entanglement for the first time ever In a paper published in the journal of Scientific Advances, scientists from the University of Glasglow shared the first known image of a Bell entanglement. The photo depicts two photons interacting and sharing physical states for a brief […]

[ad_1] Last week AMD officially released its new Ryzen 3000 Series CPUs and Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards, but there’s a small problem with the CPUs. As some Linux users quickly noticed, there’s an issue with newer distributions based on 5.0 or higher that makes the OS unable to boot. Some people have been able […]
NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super and 2070 Super review
[ad_1] What makes them special? As we explained when they were announced, the RTX Super cards are basically souped-up versions of NVIDIA’s existing lineup. They’re taking the place of the faster “Ti” cards we’re used to seeing from the company (though, confusingly enough, the 2080 Ti is sticking around as the king of the RTX […]
Lenovo fuels the first PC sales increase in six months
[ad_1] IDC and Gartner count shipments slightly differently, but IDC saw “high single-digit” US growth and Gartner saw a slight sales decline stateside. The number of units shipped went up for both desktop and portable PC models, according to IDC. Apple’s MacBook keyboard problems may or may not have affected worldwide shipments, which were flat […]
