In the age of big data, today’s computer chips are struggling to maintain an efficient method of memory management. The way it currently works is based on what computer scientists call the principle of locality: If a program needs to access a chunk of data stored at some memory bank, chances are, it needs the neighboring chunks as well.
It is a known fact that when a human being breathes its last,
Throughout the years, Elon Musk’s Tesla has been known to rock the world
Thousands upon thousands of antique books are locked away in archival centres, withstanding the uncompromising tooth of time. Careful handling of the books — especially the rare ones — can be a pretty tricky business. Whenever there is a need to conduct obscure research on a book or to look up rare information
During the past several days, NASA has been rolling out the most detailed images of
Some argue – and they may be very right – that the amount of technology around us, and our understanding of that technology are hugely disproportionate. Computer-like devices are completely ubiquitous and most of us carry at least one with us at all times. However – and this may be credited to very skilled UI designers who have all but removed barriers to entry – as a global user and consumer base, we are losing a grasp on what makes our smartphones and computers tick.
Graphene is essentially a wonderkid material, as we have reported time and time again. It’s great at conducting heat and electricity, and it’s extremely strong and stable, on top of being only an atom thick. These amazing properties would single-handedly transform the world of consumer electronics, not to mention industrial applications. But researchers have struggled to move beyond tiny lab samples for studying its material properties to larger pieces for real-world applications.
We are so used to hearing about climate change and the negative impact that human activity has on the environment of our planet, that we rarely even think about what we could do to not only stop hurting it, but to actively start helping. It is by all accounts accidental, but it does not make it any less true that as new research shows, 13,000 years of repeated occupation by British Columbia’s coastal First Nations has had a positive effect on the area, enhancing temperate rainforest productivity.

When it comes to automobile shipping, there are generally two main options. The vehicle can be shipped in a container or via Roll On Roll Off (RORO). The latter is a very popular, cost-effective type of transport where the cargo is simply “rolled on” the vessel at the port of loading and “rolled off” the vessel
