TU Graz and Intel Demonstrate Significant Energy Savings Using Neuromorphic Hardware
For the first time TU Graz’s Institute of Theoretical Computer Science and Intel Labs demonstrated experimentally that a large neural network can process sequences such as sentences while consuming four to sixteen times less energy while running on neuromorphic hardware than non-neuromorphic hardware.
Skydiving Salamanders Live In World’s Tallest Trees
Salamanders that live their entire lives in the crowns of the world’s tallest trees, California’s coast redwoods, have evolved a behavior well-adapted to the dangers of falling from high places: the ability to parachute, glide and maneuver in mid-air.
Danish Astrophysics Student Discovers Link Between Global Warming and Locally Unstable Weather
Climate change gives rise to more unstable weather, local droughts and extreme temperature records, but a coherent theory relating local and global climate is still under active development.
Increasing Urban Greenery Could Have Prevented at Least 34,000 Deaths over Two Decades
A new analysis found that between 34,000-38,000 could have been reduced with local increases in green vegetation in US metropolitan areas from 2000-2019.
Small Adaptations, Major Effect: Researchers Study Potential of Future Public Transportation
Being mobile individually, at any time – without owning a car. To facilitate this, public transportation authorities cooperate with service providers for new forms of mobility such as bicycle sharing, car sharing, or ridepooling.
