73,000 days, that’s how long Canon says its printer printouts will last without fading — but only for its large format printers and no one will be alive to check in 200 years anyway
Canon has unveiled a new series of its imagePROGRAF PRO large format printers, aimed at the professional photography and fine art markets. This refresh comprises three new models: the 60-inch PRO-6600, the 44-inch PRO-4600, and the 24-inch PRO-2600. Alongside the new models, Canon has introduced a new pigment ink set,…

Liquid metal RAM is first step towards shapeless computing — as well as spinless robots with octopus-like features and robots from a popular 90’s Sci-Fi movie
Storage systems are critical parts of electronic devices, but current methods have struggled to create flexible memory due to inherent rigidity limitations. In a breakthrough that brings to mind the T-1000 from Terminator 2, researchers from Tsinghua University in Beijing have developed a fully flexible resistive random-access-memory device, known as…

“Perfect” memory that could one day replace three types of storage gets very early prototype — SOT-MRAM is cache, system memory and storage rolled into one
Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) have announced the creation of a SOT-MRAM (spin-orbit torque magnetic random-access memory) array chip, the result of a joint development program first announced in 2022. Touted as a potential replacement for STT-MRAM (spin-transfer-torque MRAM), the new SOT-MRAM could be…

Samsung’s arch-rival presents HBM3E memory chip that could power Nvidia’s Blackwell B100 AI GPU — with 16 layers, 48GB and 10.24Gbps transfer rate, this may well be the key to make ChatGPT 6 live
Samsung is set to showcase numerous new products at the forthcoming International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), including a superfast DDR5 memory chip, 280 layer QLC NAND flash memory, and the the world’s fastest GDDR7. But while Samsung will certainly draw a lot of attention, it’s not the only game in…

“Approaching the dream of the alchemist”: Scientists have been able to transform transparent glass into a photovoltaic surface — using a laser similar to that used in eye surgeries
Scientists have successfully converted transparent glass into a photovoltaic surface using a laser similar to that used in eye surgeries. The revolutionary discovery was made by physicists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) in collaboration with scientists from Tokyo Tech. Led by Gözden Torun at the Galatea…
