Electronic core news Morning News: IBM brain analog chip, LG mystery watch

Today's core language

According to foreign media reports, IBM has been working on a "adaptive scalable plastic electronic neuromorphic system" chip that can simulate the human brain since 2008, referred to as SyNAPSE. The chip has reached the level of quantifiable production last year. But until today, IBM announced the opening of a three-week "training camp" training program, academic and government agencies researchers for the first time had the opportunity to witness the greatness and potential of SyNAPSE. For more information on technology, please pay attention to the daily electronic core morning newspaper.

First, the processor

1, Intel Skylake details exposure, while driving three 4K monitors. Not long ago, Intel just launched the sixth generation of Core processor Skylake, which recently announced more details of this processor. Compared with the previous game, Skylake can drive multiple 4K screens in addition to faster and more energy-efficient. The new structure introduces memory defense while improving operational security.

Third, battery technology

1. Samsung and MIT develop solid-state batteries that can be used for life without worrying about fire. Phoenix Technology News August 20, according to the technology website Computerworld reported that researchers have developed a new material for basic battery components, they said, the new material can provide almost unlimited storage capacity for the battery. This new material is a solid electrolyte that not only extends battery life, but also increases battery capacity and safety. Liquid electrolytes are the leading cause of battery fires. With solid electrolytes, there will be no safety issues with the battery. Gerbrand Ceder, a professor of materials science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one of the leading researchers in the new material, said, "You can drop the battery to the wall, nail the battery, and use the battery. There is no substance that can burn in it."

2, the new lithium battery: charging for 5 minutes, the car lasts hundreds of kilometers. According to the Forbes online version, the current Tesla Express charger can charge its electric car battery for 170 miles (about 274 km) in 30 minutes. If the Israeli startup, StoreDot, reaches its goal, the electric car could travel hundreds of miles after just 5 minutes of charging. The three-year-old startup, StoreDot, announced on Wednesday that South Korea’s electronics giant Samsung’s investment division and Russian investor Roman Abramovich have invested $18 million in it. To date, StoreDot has consolidated a total of $66 million and plans to use the latest financing to develop its fast-charging battery for electric vehicles.
