Six possible galaxies that emerged so early in the history of the universe and are so massive that according to the most recent cosmological theory, they should not be possible have been found by an international team of astrophysicists working together on a new research project. These mysterious objects were...
The enterprise as a whole is responsible for making an increasing number of decisions on a daily basis, the majority of which are made by algorithms housed within AI systems. It is possible for humans to make decisions while unconsciously harboring biases; therefore, we need to take precautions to ensure...
The gas giant Jupiter. How many layers it has, how dense those layers are, and what its core looks like are all mysteries that scientists can only speculate on. A needle travelling at the speed of light would explode like a balloon if it were to hit Jupiter, sending it...
Spatial temporal is a concept that relates to both space and time. It is a term used to describe the relationship between events that occur at different points in space and time. Spatial temporal data is becoming increasingly important in many fields, including climate science, transportation, and epidemiology. This article...
Entropy is a fundamental concept in physics and chemistry that plays a critical role in shaping the natural world. At its core, entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system. It tells us how much energy is unavailable to do useful work and how much energy...
Z-Wave is a wireless communication protocol used for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It is designed to facilitate communication between smart home devices, such as smart locks, thermostats, and light switches, and enable them to be controlled remotely. Z-Wave operates on a low-energy mesh network and uses a frequency band...
“A friend of mine,” said Professor Rackbrane, “has a rectangular garden, and he wants to make exactly one-half of it into a large bed of roses with a gravel path of uniform width around it. Can you find a general rule that will apply equally to any rectangular garden, regardless...
A tape library is a storage device that contains one or more tape drives, a number of slots to hold tape cartridges, a barcode reader to identify tape cartridges, and an automated method for loading tapes. It is also sometimes referred to as a tape silo, tape robot, or tape...
The mercury delay line was a method for representing binary zeros and ones as pulses of acoustic energy that relied on sound waves flowing through a tube of mercury. At the very least, in principle, the pulses could travel through the delay line unbrokenly if they were to capture the...
Magnetic-core memory, also known as core memory or ferrite core memory, was one of the first types of random access memory (RAM) used in computers. It was developed in the late 1940s and remained in use until the 1970s. Core memory was important because it allowed computers to store data...
