Tom’s Hardware

Tom’s Hardware University of Nebraska–Lincoln researchers developed a self-healing artificial muscle for use in soft robotics and wearable systems. The muscle consists of a damage detection bottom layer composed of liquid metal microdroplets embedded in a silicone elastomer, a middle layer of stiff thermoplastic elastomer that acts as the self-healing component, and a top actuation […]

Tom’s Hardware An AI tool developed by researchers at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology is 3,200 faster times and up to 40% more accurate in retrieving digital information stored in DNA compared to the best current methods. With the new DNAformer approach, 100MB of data can be processed in just 10 minutes, versus several […]

Tom’s Hardware A Linux patch developed by engineers at Intel would identify PCs running outdated microcodes, informing users that their systems may be vulnerable. The X86_BUG_OLD_MICROCODE flag will identify if old microcode is being run on the CPUs, with Linux maintaining a list for most systems with the latest microcode versions based on Intel’s git […]

Tom’s Hardware Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers developed a semiconductor-free logic gate that can be used for simple workloads. The fully 3D-printable logic gate features a biodegradable copper-doped polymer filament. Said MIT’s Luis Fernando Velásquez-García, “This could allow anyone to create smart hardware far from traditional manufacturing centers.” From “Researchers Make Progress on 3D-Printed […]
