Physicists Create Long-Sought 2D Quantum Material, Confirming Decade-Old Prediction

A team of researchers has achieved a significant milestone in condensed matter physics by creating a two-dimensional quantum material that had been theoretically predicted more than ten years ago. The material's unusual conducting edge states have now been experimentally confirmed. These edge states are particularly notable because their

Colibrì Project Demonstrates Frontier-Level AI Model Running on Just 25GB of RAM

A new project called Colibrì is demonstrating that running large AI models may not require the massive computational resources typically associated with frontier-level systems. The proof-of-concept approach successfully operates a 1.5-terabyte AI model while consuming only 25GB of RAM, representing a significant reduction in hardware requirements compared to traditional
