Memory 1000 times faster and more durable than flash

15.06.2016

Intel will begin manufacturing SSDs under the new Optane brand in Q2016 3. The devices will be NVMe-enabled and designed to connect to a four-lane PCI Express XNUMX bus.

The devices will be designed for both consumer and corporate markets. The former will be codenamed Mansion Beach, the latter will be Stony Beach.

Tentatively in the first quarter of 2017, Intel plans to release PCI Express 3-enabled Brighton Beach drives with two. lines. And no earlier than mid-2017 - update Mansion Beach and introduce a new generation of Optane drives for the enterprise market, codenamed Carson Beach. Carson Beach devices are planned to be implemented in BGA form factor, in addition to M.2.

Optane drives are based on the 3D XPoint memory technology announced by Intel jointly with Micron Technology in July 2015. Partners claim 3D XPoint has 1 times the speed and 10 times the endurance of flash like NAND, which is ubiquitous in modern electronics, and XNUMX times more dense than today's computer memory.

Instead of using transistors, as in NAND memory, 3D XPoint memory uses cells made of a material that changes its physical properties when an electric current passes through it. Such memory is also called phase memory. It is non-volatile like flash, but faster than NAND and cheaper to manufacture than DRAM, which is used in RAM.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Disposable gourd cups 19.11.2020

New York-based design company Creme has taken the issue of plastic waste into the planet and come up with an unusual solution to this problem - to grow pumpkin disposable coffee cups.

Everything ingenious is simple, the designers decided and, looking back, found a great way to store liquids. For this, our ancestors used the dried peel of pumpkin fruits, which retains its shape for a long time. Thus began the Pumpkin project, which aims to produce experimental batches of biosoluble cups and flasks that can be used to serve hot coffee and also store beans.

June Isaac, director of Creme, says that on a farm in Pennsylvania, the company grows pumpkins and squash, giving them the desired shape. Just like in Japan, for more comfortable transportation, watermelons are grown in containers, giving the fruits a square shape. For this, modern technologies and equipment are used, which allows not only to give the fruits the correct shape, but also to dry their peel, creating completely degradable, organic glasses and flasks.

The glass can be thrown away with food waste. It is also compostable without the synthetic materials or chemicals that make up the final product.
