What Would It Mean to See a New Color?5 days ago
- Ren Ng, a Berkeley professor, hypothesized that stimulating only M cone cells could produce a color never seen before.
- Using Austin Roorda's lab technology to map and stimulate individual cone cells, the experiment generated 'olo' – a supersaturated green/teal.
- Olo cannot be reproduced by printers, cameras, or pigments; it exists only as a perceptual experience from unnatural cone stimulation.
Damo Academy unveils an AI agent able to discover superconductorsa month ago
- Alibaba's Damo Academy unveiled the industry's first AI agent for discovering superconducting materials.
- The AI agent, named Elements Claw, identified four previously unknown superconductors, verified in lab experiments.
- The system screened 2.4 million stable crystal structures in 28 hours and narrowed down 68,000 candidates.
NASA's Curiosity rover finds a field of honeycomb-textured ground on Mars2 days ago
- Curiosity rover discovered extensive honeycomb-like polygonal fractures in Valle Grande, much larger than any seen before.
- The polygons were captured in a 360-degree panorama, spreading across the landscape and wrapping around a butte.
- These formations may have originated from mud cracks or other processes like temperature cycles or compression.
A CT scanner reveals surprises inside the 386 processor's ceramic package8 days ago
- Intel 386 was the first 32-bit x86 chip, housed in a ceramic PG.A. with 132 gold-plated pins.
- A CT scan revealed six layers of complex internal wiring, two tiers of gold contacts, and virtually invisible wires for electroplating.
- The package used custom single-row double shelf bonding for improved power and noise performance.
Drake Anthony Recreates the Mechanical Bulb First Seen in 1675 – TechEBlog19 days ago
- Drake Anthony attempts to replicate 'barometric light', a 17th-century phenomenon where a mercury barometer glows when stirred.
- The glow occurs due to friction: mercury moving over glass leaves an electric charge that excites gas molecules, emitting light without external power.
- Anthony creates a glass flask, evacuates it to low pressure, adds mercury, and observes a faint glow when shaken in darkness, limited by impure mercury.
