The breakthrough, detailed in Nature Photonics, centers on a fundamental problem facing 6G: how to efficiently transmit and receive data at terahertz frequencies. These frequencies, which are thousands of gigahertz above current 5G bands, can carry staggering amounts of information, theoretically approaching one terabit per second. Read Entire Article
Xbox and Windows teams are working with OEMs on a possible 2027 console launch
Sources recently told Windows Central that Microsoft remains uncertain about whether it can release a new Xbox console next year. Valve recently was forced to delay its upcoming PC-console hybrid due to RAM shortages, but for Microsoft, the readiness of Windows 11 may prove to be the bigger stumbling block......
Intel has abandoned its controversial “On Demand” processor technology
The infamous Intel Software Defined Silicon initiative appears to be dead – or at least, Intel has no plans to continue developing it. The US chipmaker first unveiled SDSi in 2021 as a software-based solution that could selectively block or unlock certain CPU capabilities depending on the end customer's budget....

Hiroshima scientists crack the code for 3D printing tungsten carbide
The university's team reports that their approach centers on controlled "softening" of the material rather than complete melting. The process, known as hot-wire laser irradiation, reshapes tungsten carbide while maintaining its exceptional hardness and minimizing defects – an achievement that could transform how cutting, drilling, and construction tools are manufactured....
