Mashup Score: 1These Technologists Are Trying to Make COVID-19 Risk Assessment More of a Science - IEEE Spectrum - 3 year(s) ago
During the course of the pandemic, public-health authorities have tried the best they could to provide guidelines about what is or isn’t safe. That’s a tough job, for many reasons, not the least of which is that scientific understanding of the COVID-19 virus and its transmission is constantly evolving, as are conditions on the ground. What’s more, the notion that activities can be categorized as…

Mashup Score: 2Chart: Behind the Three-Decade Collapse of Lithium-Ion Battery Costs - IEEE Spectrum - 3 year(s) ago
Behind clean energy today is a sharp, continuing drop in photovoltaic solar-cell prices. And behind the scenes, the prices of lithium-ion batteries are plummeting just as quickly. Between 1991 and 2018, the average price of the batteries that power mobile phones, fuel electric cars, and underpin green energy storage fell more than thirtyfold, according to work by Micah Ziegler Jessika…

Mashup Score: 0DNA-based Circuits May Be the Future of Medicine, and This Software Program Will Get Us There Faster - IEEE Spectrum - 3 year(s) ago
Biological circuits, made of synthetic DNA, have incredibly vast and important medical applications. Even though this technology is still early-stage, the approach has been used to create tests for diagnosing cancer and identifying internal injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, hemorrhagic shock, and more. As well, synthetic biological circuits can be used to precisely deliver drugs into…

Mashup Score: 1How Software Is Eating the Car - IEEE Spectrum - 3 year(s) ago
Predictions of lost global vehicle production caused by the ongoing semiconductor shortage continue to rise. In January, analysts forecast that 1.5 million fewer vehicles would be produced as a result of the shortage; by April that number had steadily climbed to more than 2.7 million units, and by May, to more than 4.1 million units. The semiconductor shortage has underscored not only…

Photo: Science History Institute The furnace at the bottom of this crystal puller heated a sample of silicon, and then a hydraulic lift gently pulled upward, forming a single crystal of pure silicon. Silicon is one of the most common elements on the planet, but it exists almost always as a compound, such as silicon dioxide or common sand. In order to be…

Mashup Score: 3Reconfigurable Optical Networks Will Move Supercomputer Data 100X Faster - IEEE Spectrum - 3 year(s) ago
Imagine being able to read an entire book in a single second, but only receiving the pages individually over the course of a minute. This is analogous to the woes of a supercomputer. Supercomputer processors can handle whopping amounts of data per second, but the flow of data between the processor and computer subsystems is not nearly as efficient, creating a data transfer…
