Meaning: Acquire knowledge, comprehend the meaning of various phenomena.

Origin: An expression from the biblical paradise tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the fruits of which Adam was forbidden by God to eat on pain of death. But the tempting serpent convinced Eve that those who ate the fruit of this tree would not die, but would be "like gods, knowing good and evil."

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Exynos 9820 processor from Samsung 14.11.2018

Samsung has unveiled its new flagship Exynos 9820 processor, which will be the heart of the next generation of the top-end smartphone Galaxy S10. The chip is manufactured using an 8nm LPP FinFET process. According to the developers, this saves 10% of energy compared to products based on a 10-nanometer process.

A three-cluster architecture with six fourth-generation cores was implemented: two specialized, two productive Cortex A75 and four energy-efficient Cortex A55. Chip performance increased by 20% in single-core mode and 15% in multi-core mode.

Overall productivity increased by 40%. The chip is equipped with a Mali-G76 MP12 GPU, also providing 40% more performance. For the first time, Exynos has received a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that works with artificial intelligence functions seven times more efficiently than its predecessor.
