IBM Unveils Record-Breaking 100 Billion Transistor Chip Using Stacked Silicon

IBM has announced a breakthrough chip featuring 100 billion transistors, roughly twice the density of current state-of-the-art chips. The achievement comes through a novel manufacturing approach that adds a second layer of silicon circuitry to the chip's architecture. The record-breaking transistor count represents a significant step forward in

Bacteriophages Show Promise in Cancer Treatment Through Vaccine Immunity Redirect

Harnessing Phages for Cancer Therapy Bacteriophages, commonly known as phages, are viruses that specifically infect and kill bacteria. Now, scientists are investigating whether these bacterial predators could be repurposed to fight cancer by leveraging the immune protection we acquire from vaccines. The approach involves genetically engineering phages to redirect vaccine-induced

AI Unlocks Ancient Philosophical Texts Preserved in Volcanic-Ravaged Scrolls

Breakthrough in Ancient Text Recovery A team of researchers has achieved a significant milestone in archaeology and classical studies by reading the complete contents of ancient scrolls that were destroyed nearly 2,000 years ago. The scrolls, part of the Roman library at Herculaneum, were carbonised during the catastrophic eruption
