That's true, but there are a couple of things more. First, your DAC or ADC need to have such analog bandwidth. Working in a higher Nyquist zone also require higher amplification since the signal would be considerably weaker and more co

A lot would depend on the critical current and critical field that such hypothetical superconductor could have. If it's too low, its usage where large currents are needed, like motors or chips will be small. As example, look into the g

I suspect that it still has some fpga fabric attacched to the ai engines. The two parts are separate, but according to Xilinx docs (talking about Versal Soc), they are supposed to work togheter

Interesting. It seems then that the xdna architecture in the Ryzen 4070 is nothing more than a port of the existing Xilinx Versal cores (fpga+ai engine)

In my experience, it's the exact opposite. The gain of such things in logistics, stock management, production are much better than a slightly higher cost of goods. It enable to sell stuff even in cases when it would be too expensive, a

You are mixing two things: Yes, illegal immigrants get into Italy from the Mediterranean sea. From there they move to north Europe, but this is far from getting Italian citizen and have the freedom to move in EU. However is sometimes very e

In my experience, at least in the field of Solid-state Physics, double-blind review is quite rare. Also, it would be challenging to implement, since it's often very clear who is the group that submitted a paper. The community is not so

Clearly you have never done or received customer support in a b2b environment. It can be as valuable or even more than the product itself.

Not far from reality, indeed. Every time you have some molecule with a free electron, you can perform Electron Spin Resonance on it. You take a small amount of the molecule, put in a strong magnectic field, and with microwave you could driv

A moderator is not used to control the reaction, but to make it possible. The neutrons produced by fission, have high kinetic energy, and fuel has a small cross section for neutrons at such high energy. A neutron moderator slows down the ne

Not compltly accurate. It's true that the half-life of tritium is short compared to long lived actinides. However, like hydrogen, it diffuses very easily and it's not easy to contain. In fact, it's one of the few things emitt

well, depends how you define lucky. at cryogenic temperature, the leakage current of a transistor is so small that you virtually don't require DRAM refresh. I tested DRAM cells with discharge times of hours, and the transistor was not
