Starting with the more powerful RTX 5060 Ti, this model features the GB206 die with 4608 CUDA cores. It features 2.57GHz boost clock and 2.41GHz base clock. Like the 4060 Ti, you get a choice of 16GB and an abysmal 8GB video memory options, this time in GDDR7 and clocked at 28Gbps with a 128-bit…
For the first time, scientists have created a detailed “connectome”—a comprehensive map of all the neural connections in a mammalian brain. Using advanced imaging and artificial intelligence, researchers successfully mapped every neuron and synapse in the brain of a mouse, revealing how complex thoughts, behaviors, and memories are formed and stored. This breakthrough in neuroscience…
Ocean acidification, often called the “evil twin” of climate change, is having a devastating impact on marine ecosystems—particularly coral reefs. As the oceans absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere, chemical reactions reduce the water’s pH level, making it more acidic. This change affects the ability of marine organisms, such as corals, oysters, and plankton,…
A comprehensive global study has revealed that Earth is undergoing its sixth mass extinction, with over one million plant and animal species at risk. This alarming trend is driven by habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, invasive species, and unsustainable resource use. Researchers warn that species are disappearing at rates 100 to 1,000 times higher than…
CRISPR technology, which allows scientists to edit genes with high precision, has reached a major milestone. Researchers have introduced “CRISPR Prime Editing,” a next-generation method capable of making precise DNA edits without causing double-strand breaks. This innovation minimizes unintended mutations and enhances the tool’s accuracy, offering new hope for curing genetic diseases such as sickle…
A groundbreaking study has decoded ancient DNA from human remains dating back more than 10,000 years, offering new insights into prehistoric human migration patterns. Scientists from a global team analyzed genetic material extracted from bones found in caves across Europe, Asia, and Africa. The results provide compelling evidence of multiple waves of human migration and…
In a significant stride toward revolutionizing cancer treatment, scientists have developed a new drug that targets specific biomarkers found exclusively in cancer cells. This precision-targeted approach has shown remarkable success in early clinical trials, with over 70% of patients experiencing tumor shrinkage and minimal side effects. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which often harms healthy cells, this…
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is accusing Meta of buying Instagram and WhatsApp over a decade ago to neutralise its competition, in line with Mark Zuckerberg’s alleged 2008 directive that “it is better to buy than compete”. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is accusing Meta of buying Instagram and WhatsApp over a decade…
Nvidia has announced its highly anticipated GeForce RTX 5060-series graphics cards including pricing, availability and specifications. Three separate models will be available, with the RTX 5060 Ti in both 16GB and 8GB flavors arriving April 16. The cheaper RTX 5060 non-Ti version will be available next month in May and will also have 8GB of…
Despite decades of groundbreaking research, the human brain remains one of the most enigmatic organs in the body. While neuroscience has made significant strides in understanding brain structure and function, several fundamental questions remain unanswered. 1. The Complexity of Neural Connections The human brain contains approximately 86 billion neurons, each forming thousands of synaptic connections….
