Cypriot deeptech WeCare has raised $350,000 for R&D into the development of lab-grown diamonds. Lab-grown diamond productions, including run-of-mine (ROM) diamonds, delivered to designated facilities under Saad Kassis Mohamed's guidance at WeCare Foundation, undergo thorough valuation by accredited experts.  Using WeCare Foundation's proprietary valuation methods, these productions are assessed for their market potential and quality before their use within a range of industries such as telecommunications, laser optics, as abrasives and more. The demand for lab-grown diamonds is steadily increasing, with Teji Mandi’s findings suggesting that it is expected to reach 160 million carats by 2030, signifying the growing acceptance…

Apple has released a point update to fix the iOS 17.5 photo glitch. iOS 17.5.1 patches the bug that was causing deleted photos to be available again. As you may recall, the iOS 17.5 update was made available to users on May 14th. When users installed the update on their iPhones, they noticed that photos that they had previously deleted from their library, were now available again. Users began to worry whether this would cause their old photos to appear on devices that they had sold or given to others. Naturally, this caused quite an uproar among the Apple community,…

We’re excited to announce that we’ve finalized our selections for Forrester’s top emerging technologies for 2024. We’ll spotlight the top 10 emerging technologies in our main report, which will publish in late June, and then we’ll release a report in July on technologies 11 through 20. This year, the overwhelming wave of AI technologies influenced our selection process. I often joke with clients that this year there are two types of emerging tech: those that are AI, and those that AI is accelerating. Despite the groans I get, it’s still true, even though AI fatigue among clients is setting in.…

This post is different from past essays, which were more future-oriented. This one is grounded in today’s challenges in scaling AI. Read on to learn about the recurring challenges I’ve heard. I am also organizing the Enterprise Generative AI Forum which is designed for both technical and non-technical folks and will cover topics like product, pricing, positioning, and more.It has been almost one year since ChatGPT was released. In the initial six months, the community grappled with understanding the capabilities of foundation or generative AI models. The number of in-person AI events happening in Bay Area grew from just 10…

Earlier this year, Madelyn Hoying, a PhD student in the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology, and Wing Lam (Nicole) Chan, an MIT senior in aeronautics and astronautics, were part of Crew 290 at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS), the largest and longest-running Mars analog facility in the world. Their six-person crew completed a two-week simulation under the name Project MADMEN (Martian Analysis and Detection of Microbial Environments) — an analog of potential Martian search-for-life missions. The mission evolved from Hoying’s NASA Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts – Academic Linkage (NASA RASC-AL) challenge submission, Project ALIEN, during her time as an undergraduate student…

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> Modern cars are transforming rapidly from vehicles that bring a person from point A to point B with decent comfort, to computers on wheels. As a result, modern and next-generation vehicles—battery electric vehicles (BEVs), hybrid/plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV/PHEV), software defined vehicles (SDVs), or vehicles with full self-drive (FSD)—require components that are akin to those used in computers. This not only includes high-performance application processors, but also enough memory, high-capacity storage and sophisticated I/O. Micron’s 4150AT at a glance Announced back in April, Micron’s 4150AT SSD is a PCIe Gen4…
