This week’s Fish Fry is all about AI inference, NPUs and the Tensilica NeuroEdge 130 AI Co-Processor! My guest is Amol Borkar from Cadence Design Systems and we are chatting about the latest trends in AI inferencing, why there is a greater need now for AI co-processors than ever before and the multitude of benefits that the Tensilica NeuroEdge 130 AI Co-Processor can bring to your next design.
Since ChatGPT’s late 2022 launch, everyday people have formed emotional connections to chatbots, describing them as deep friendships and even life partnerships.
His findings launched books including, The Blue Zones Secrets for Living Longer: Lessons From the Healthiest Places on Earth, worldwide interest in these hot spots, and even a Netflix series, “Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones.”
So where are these “blue zones,” what makes them so healthy, and what can we learn from them even if we don’t live anywhere near one? Here’s everything to know about blue zones.
Buettner’s research has led him to identify five regions he’s dubbed “blue zones.” These are “demographically confirmed, geographically defined” areas in the world where people are living to 100 at extraordinary rates— 10 times greater than in the United States.
At a conservative estimate, it contains three times the amount of water of all the oceans on our surface. A new study may have found the source.
Silicon photonics is a revolutionary technology in the integrated photonics field which has experienced rapid development over the past several decades. High-quality III-V semiconductor components on Si platforms have shown their great potential to realize on-chip light-emitting sources for Si photonics with low-cost and high-density integration. In this review, we will focus on semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), which have received considerable interest in diverse photonic applications. SOAs have demonstrated high performance in various on-chip optical applications through different integration technologies on Si substrates. Moreover, SOAs are also considered as promising candidates for future light sources in the wavelength tunable laser, which is one of the key suitable components in coherent optical devices.
Salt creeping, a phenomenon that occurs in both natural and industrial processes, describes the collection and migration of salt crystals from evaporating solutions onto surfaces. Once they start collecting, the crystals climb, spreading away from the solution. This creeping behavior, according to researchers, can cause damage or be harnessed for good, depending on the context.
New research published June 30 in the journal Langmuir is the first to show salt creeping at a single-crystal scale and beneath a liquid’s meniscus.
“The work not only explains how salt creeping begins, but why it begins and when it does,” says Joseph Phelim Mooney, a postdoc in the MIT Device Research Laboratory and one of the authors of the new study. “We hope this level of insight helps others, whether they’re tackling water scarcity, preserving ancient murals, or designing longer-lasting infrastructure.”
Researchers have created a microphone that listens with light instead of sound. Unlike traditional microphones, this visual microphone captures tiny vibrations on the surfaces of objects caused by sound waves and turns them into audible signals.
“Our method simplifies and reduces the cost of using light to capture sound while also enabling applications in scenarios where traditional microphones are ineffective, such as conversing through a glass window,” said research team leader Xu-Ri Yao from Beijing Institute of Technology in China. “As long as there is a way for light to pass through, sound transmission isn’t necessary.”
In the journal Optics Express, the researchers describe the new approach, which applies single-pixel imaging to sound detection for the first time. Using an optical setup without any expensive components, they demonstrate that the technique can recover sound by using the vibrations on the surfaces of everyday objects such as leaves and pieces of paper.
