First PCIe 6.0 SSD enters mass production with 28GB/s speeds, 5.5 million IOPS, and liquid cooling — Micron 9650 Series SSDs support air and liquid cooling
Micron's new drive is so fast that it fully benefits from liquid cooling, but air cooling is still supported

Ski jumping rocked by 'penis-gate' claims athletes manipulated genitals for aerodynamic edge
The alleged trick involves artificially enlarging the genital area before official measurements by using substances such as hyaluronic acid.

“God gave us this incredible gift of an intellect and curiosity and an opportunity to explore how nature works,”
Dr Francis Collins, former director of National Institutes of Health said.
“And God gave us nature as well
and we get the chance through science to do that.
I think of science as glimpsing God’s mind.
Science is almost a form of worship because what you’re trying to do there is to be completely caught up in the awe of what we’ve been given in natu…

Francis Collins and Marc Siegel say medicine is a gift from God
“To have Christians be the group that was most resistant” to the Covid vaccine “really seems wrong here,” said former NIH Director Francis Collins.

Quantum computers must be cooled to extremely low temperatures to minimize vibrations and prevent errors.
So far, chip-based systems have been limited to inefficient and slow cooling methods.
Now, a team of researchers at MIT and MIT Lincoln Laboratory has implemented a much faster and more energy-efficient method for cooling photonic chip-based quantum computers.
Their approach achieved cooling to about 10 times below the limit of standard laser cooling.
Key to this te…

Efficient cooling method could enable chip-based trapped-ion quantum computers
Researchers demonstrated a new method of cooling trapped ions using chip-based systems, which could enable more stable and scalable quantum computers and quantum sensors.
