You’re looking at a real big deal.

Because in a nanotechnology lab, big deals come in smaller and smaller packages. What you see above is an extreme close-up of a 5 nanometer transistor. In an industry-first, the IBM Research Alliance developed nanosheet transistors that will enable a 5 nm chip. What’s so big about that? Well, by achieving a scale of 30 billion switches on a fingernail sized chip, it can deliver significant enhancements over today’s state-of-the-art 10 nm chips. This not only improves the performance of current technologies but also provides the fuel for the future demands of AI, VR, quantum and mobile technologies to run on. Plus, it could also make things like smartphone batteries last 2-3x longer between charges, so it may also be a real lifesaver too.

13 years on Venus is almost the equivalent of 8 years on Earth. It makes for a very interesting pattern.

The Trump administration is ignoring one of the fastest-growing sources of new US jobs: Renewables

If Trump really cares about job creation, he might want to rethink his stance on those unsightly wind farms.

Renewable energy is becoming a major engine for U.S. employment:

In recent years, jobs in solar and wind energy are growing about 12 times faster than the rest of the U.S. economy, according to a new report from the Environmental Defense Fund.  

The report also found that these difficult-to-outsource jobs pay about $5,000 more than the national median wage.

The jobs are easy to train for, too: Trade groups, like nonprofit Solar Energy International, offer accreditations you can get in less than a week.

For an administration that’s ostensibly about jobs, promoting the renewable energy sector seems like it would be a no-brainer.

But Trump’s team has reportedly floated the idea of scrapping the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy within the Department of Energy. Read more

I found a tiny piece of plastic and by accident learned that it lets smallll amounts of light pass through, like a welding mask. Immediate thoughts lead to pointing my camera at the worst thing you can point a camera at. Our star. #canon #sun (at The Sun)

A few years back some friends and I sent a bike to this guy. I'd say this was a wise move. Keep shredding @juliobmx_andes we'll ride together soon!
