Goldman Sachs leads $202M investment in project44, doubling its valuation to $1.2B in a matter of months
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted a lot in the world, and supply chains are no exception. A number of applications that aim to solve workflow challenges across the supply chain exist. But getting real-time access to information from transportation pr.....»»
Why deep freezing iron-based materials makes them both magnetic and superconducting
Physicists at the University of Bath in the UK, in collaboration with researchers from the USA, have uncovered a new mechanism for enabling magnetism and superconductivity to co-exist in the same material. Until now, scientists could only guess how t.....»»

Here are 5 random Alexa commands you probably didn't know exist. The post 5 random Alexa commands you probably didn’t know exist appeared first on TabTimes. If you own an Amazon Echo, Dot or Tap, you’re probably already aware of th.....»»
Snap CEO is happy to pay the 30% Apple tax, says Snapchat wouldn"t exist without the iPhone
"We really feel like Snapchat wouldn't exist without the iPhone and without the amazing platform that Apple has created," Spiegel said on CNBC's TechCheck. "In that sense, I'm not sure we have a choice about paying the 30% fee, and of course, we're h.....»»
Scientists tap supercomputing to study exotic matter in stars
At the heart of some of the smallest and densest stars in the universe lies nuclear matter that might exist in never-before-observed exotic phases. Neutron stars, which form when the cores of massive stars collapse in a luminous supernova explosion,.....»»
Apple TV 4K 2nd-gen launches tomorrow, here are some first impressions
The 2nd-gen Apple TV 4K packs new features like Color Balance calibration and Dolby Atmos audio, but it's the redesigned Siri Remote that steals the spotlight. At $180 it's a bold bet, when alternatives exist like the Google Chromecast ($50) and the.....»»
Grape genetics research reveals what makes the perfect flower
Wines and table grapes exist thanks to a genetic exchange so rare that it's only happened twice in nature in the last 6 million years. And since the domestication of the grapevine 8,000 years ago, breeding has continued to be a gamble......»»
What Third-Party Vulnerabilities Exist in Your Tech Stack?
The SolarWinds hack made many businesses aware of the vulnerabilities they may face even from outside their organization. Find out what third-party vulnerabilities exist in your tech stack......»»
Better integrated circuits with glide symmetry
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are highly localized surface waves on the interface between metal and dielectric in the optical frequency band. SPPs do not naturally exist in the microwave and terahertz frequencies, so "spoof" surface plasmon polar.....»»
Observation of antichiral edge states in a circuit lattice
A modified Haldane lattice exhibits the intriguing phenomenon of antichiral edge states that propagate in the same direction on opposite edges and co-exist with bulk states. Using an electric circuit, researchers have successfully demonstrated antich.....»»
Without commuter traffic, pandemic-era drivers are speeding up, increasing noise pollution
As pandemic lockdowns went into effect in March 2020 and millions of Americans began working from home rather than commuting to offices, heavy traffic in America's most congested urban centers—like Boston—suddenly ceased to exist. Soon afterwards.....»»

Inside the world of tiny phytoplankton: Microscopic algae that provide most of our oxygen
Phytoplankton are microscopic algae living throughout the ocean's surface waters. They can't swim and are at the mercy of the currents and tides. Despite their small size, phytoplankton enable life in the oceans—and throughout the planet—to exist.....»»
Searching for the Universe"s Most Energetic Particles, Astronomers Turn on the Radio
New radio-based observatories could soon detect ultrahigh-energy neutrinos, opening a new window on extreme cosmic physics -- Read more on ScientificAmerican.com.....»»
How reef-building corals got their bones
Coral reefs provide shelter, sustenance and stability to a range of organisms, but these vital ecosystems would not exist if not for the skeletal structure created by stony corals. Now, KAUST scientists together with an international team have reveal.....»»
Taster grabs $37 million for its native online restaurants
French startup Taster has raised a $37 million Series B funding round from Octopus Venture, Battery Ventures, LocalGlobe, HeartCore, Rakuten, GFC and Founders Future. The company operates dozens of restaurants that only exist on food delivery platfor.....»»
Solving the security challenges of public cloud
Standard operating processes exist for the simplest of tasks, so why isn’t there a standardized approach for dealing with security of the public cloud — something fundamental to our society? Nick Lippis Contributor.....»»
Modeling collisions between argon nuclei and neutrinos from a supernova
Massive stars end their lives in explosions called core-collapse supernovae. These explosions produce very large numbers of weakly interacting particles called neutrinos. Scientists working on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by Fermi.....»»
Attack of the alien invaders: Pest plants and animals leave a $1.7 trillion bill
