Deutsche Telekom targets US$2.8 billion in savings as AI business grows - Deutsche Telekom expects artificial intelligence and automation to generate around EUR2.5 billion (approx. US$2.8 billion) in indirect-cost savings by 2030 compared with 2023, Reuters reported, as the German telecom group puts measurable financial targets behind both cost savings and revenue growth.
More Than 1 in 3 Adults Had High Blood Pressure – Most Didn’t Know It - A study of 1.4 million adults in England found that more than one-third had high blood pressure, while nearly two-thirds were unaware they had it. A person can have blood pressure high enough to meet the clinical definition of hypertension without ever being diagnosed or receiving medication. That gap...
Cancer Drugs Could Be Our Next Big Weapon Against Malaria - Laboratory tests found that the compounds could kill the malaria parasite both when it causes symptoms in people and when it reaches the stage that can infect mosquitoes. Inside an infected person, the malaria parasite does not stay in one form. It multiplies in blood cells, producing the fever associated...
Electric Car Makers Need to Appeal to the ‘Other 90%’ - Broader appeal for the electric car is a big challenge. Innovation is still the best solution. The post Electric Car Makers Need to Appeal to the ‘Other 90%’ appeared first on EE Times .
Tearing Down a Heavy Oscilloscope - When [Thomas] showed his 1960s-era Tektronix 545A oscilloscope in a recent video, it made us both nostalgic and happy. Nostalgic because we miss the days when our oscilloscopes were “mainframes” …read more
Why Do Muscles Weaken With Age? Scientists May Have Found an Important Missing Piece - A newly identified breakdown in nerve-muscle communication may help explain age-related weakness. Muscles do not weaken with age simply because they get smaller. New research suggests that part of the problem may lie in the electrical signals that tell them when to contract. Scientists at the University...
AI Can Detect Hidden Signs of Aging in the 3D Architecture of DNA - Researchers have developed an AI system that can detect subtle, age-related changes in the three-dimensional organization of DNA inside mouse blood stem cells. As we grow older, our bodies gradually become less able to produce an adequate supply of blood cells. This decline affects the hematopoietic system,...
These Fingernail-Sized Animals Are Moving Astonishing Amounts of California Beach Sand - A California beach can be reshaped overnight by creatures barely the size of a fingernail, with sand hoppers digging up to 110 pounds of sand per meter of shoreline each day. Researchers at UC Santa Barbara found that sand hoppers, tiny crustaceans that eat washed-up kelp, excavate extraordinary quantities...
Conveyor Belt GBoard Brings the Keys to You - It must be April in October again, because Google Japan has a new, hilariously impractical reimagining of the keyboard: a conveyor belt. This time it’s on GitHub with firmware, STLs, …read more
Engineers Have Created the World’s First Floating Titanium - Australian engineers have developed a strong, lightweight titanium material that remains afloat even after severe damage, offering a potential new option for marine infrastructure. Buoys, floating sensors, and other marine structures depend on sealed spaces to keep water out and stay afloat. A serious...
AI on Your Gaming PC - If you want to experiment with LLMs, you typically have a choice of sending your requests to someone else’s computer or fielding a very large GPU and CPU setup to …read more
Scientists Directly Observe the Hidden Geometry of Electrons - Scientists have directly observed a subtle geometric property of electrons in a three-dimensional topological insulator. Electrons moving across the surface of a topological insulator do more than carry electric charge. Their quantum states also possess a geometric structure that can influence how the...
