Engineers from the University of Michigan, in collaboration with researchers at Sandia National Laboratory, have developed innovative new solid-state computer memory that could one day withstand the blazing temperatures in fusion reactors, jet engines, geothermal wells and sweltering planets.
NVIDIA’s Jetson Orin Nano Super is touted as the world’s most affordable generative AI supercomputer. It delivers a 1.7x leap in generative AI inference performance, a 70% increase in performance to 67 INT8 TOPS, and a 50% increase in memory bandwidth to 102GB/s compared to its predecessor.
The 4TB Samsung T5 EVO USB 3.2 portable SSD is compatible with computers, tablets, smartphones, and even game consoles, all for $197.99 shipped, originally $496.99. It has shock resistance and fall protection up to 6 feet, which means you won’t need a carrying case when traveling with the SSD. Product page.
Trying to use the world’s smallest NERF gun is probably tougher than actually building it, while Uhltimate’s 3D-printed semi-automatic 6-shot blaster looks to be a joy to fire, thanks to a compliant mechanism. It consists of three parts: the trigger, a sear, and the striker.
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Webb show a new view of a cosmic wreath, also known as star cluster NGC 602 located on the edge of the Small Magellanic Cloud around 200,000 light-years from Earth. Radiation and shock waves from the stars here have pushed away much of the lighter surrounding gas and dust, resulting in new star formation in the ridges of the nebula.
You’ve seen foldable laptops, but what about a smartphone with a rear 1.58″ AMOLED touchscreen? Meet the Lava Blaze Duo, a budget-priced device that starts at just $200 USD.
Sure, it won’t look as cool as Better Call Saul on the Game Boy, but Saber Interactive’s Turok Origins does pay homage to the original franchise. This third-person co-op shooter will be coming to the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms, with a release date not yet set.
