Set to redefine the future of hypergravity research, the Centrifugal Hypergravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility (CHIEF) in Hangzhou, China, is approaching completion.

Developed under the leadership of Zhejiang University, this state-of-the-art facility promises to deliver unprecedented experimental capabilities, expanding the frontiers of scientific exploration in hypergravity conditions.

Backed by a budget of over 2 billion yuan (approximately $286.6 million), CHIEF is poised to become the world’s most advanced hypergravity research center.

The new year will bring a pair of lunar eclipses, but don’t expect any sun-disappearing acts like the one that mesmerized North America last spring.

A new class of magnetism called altermagnetism has been imaged for the first time in a new study. The findings could lead to the development of new magnetic memory devices with the potential to increase operation speeds of up to a thousand times.

Altermagnetism is a distinct form of magnetic order where the tiny constituent magnetic building blocks align antiparallel to their neighbors but the structure hosting each one is rotated compared to its neighbors.

Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s School of Physics and Astronomy have shown that this new third class of magnetism exists and can be controlled in microscopic devices. The findings have been published in Nature.

China is pushing the boundaries of weapons technology with the development of a new rapid-fire machine gun.

NVIDIA is rumored to ditch TSMC’s 2nm process, and instead turn towards Samsung Foundry, given the high costs associated and the Taiwan giant’s growing influence in controlling prices.

NVIDIA & Other Tech Giants Now Focused On Diversifying 2nm Supply China, Including Partners Other Than TSMC

Well, TSMC’s 2nm superiority might be jeopardized here, as mainstream industry clients are now looking towards alternatives. In a report by Ctee citing South Korean media, NVIDIA and others are already in discussion to move away 2nm orders from the Taiwan giant, and shifting it to the likes of Samsung Foundry, given that the parties involved believe that 2nm costs are way too higher for adoption right now. With TSMC being the sole “credible” supplier, the firm is using this stance to control the prices.

Today the World Health Organization (WHO) says no region in the world has successfully eliminated measles, and cases have surged in the past year, with 10.3 million people infected in 2023.

The WHO published its findings in a report in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

Tomiko Itooka, a Japanese woman who was the world’s oldest person according to Guinness World Records, has died, an Ashiya city official said Saturday. She was 116.

Yoshitsugu Nagata, an official in charge of elderly policies, said Itooka died on December 29 at a care home in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture, central Japan.

Itooka, who loved bananas and a yogurt-flavored Japanese drink called Calpis, was born on May 23, 1908. She became the oldest person last year following the death of 117-year-old Maria Branyas, according to the Gerontology Research Group.
