World’s 1st nuclear-diamond battery of its kind could power devices for 1000s of years

The world’s first nuclear-powered battery, which uses a radioactive isotope embedded in a diamond, could power small devices for thousands of years, scientists say. The nuclear battery uses the reaction of a diamond placed close to a radioactive source to spontaneously produce electricity, scientists at the University of Bristol in the U.K. explained in a […]

Large language models can be squeezed onto your phone — rather than needing 1000s of servers to run — after breakthrough

Powerful artificial intelligence (AI) models like ChatGPT need copious amounts of power to run so they are usually housed in vast data centers. But a new breakthrough could compress these AI models so they fit onto a smartphone or laptop. A new algorithm, dubbed Calibration Aware Low precision Decomposition with Low Rank Adaptation (CALDERA), compresses […]
