Square Kilometre Array (SKA) targets the Big Bang
Currently under development, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will ultimately comprise an array of 3,000 individual radio telescopes.
According to ZDNet’s Nick Heath, the SKA will be tasked with gathering cosmic emissions in an attempt to “see” the universe a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, farther back in time than any telescope has (thus far) glimpsed.
ReRAM evolves for the IoT
Writing for Semiconductor Engineering, Ernest Worthman notes that next-generation IoT/E devices will face a plethora of power, footprint and electronic constraints. According to Steven Woo, VP of solutions marketing and distinguished inventor at Rambus, non-volatile memory (NVM) could very well play an important role in the IoE of the future.
