 Bangkok (AFP) Oct 9, 2020 
Twitter said it has closed an Iran-based network of accounts fanning the flames around racial justice protests in the US sparked by the death of George Floyd.
Floyd's death on May 25 became a symbol of what many say is systemic racism and abuse of African Americans by police, and has sparked months of often violent protests across the US.
The network of more than 100 accounts "artificial ... more |

 Melbourne, Australia (SPX) Oct 13, 2020 
Moore's law is an empirical suggestion describing that the number of transistors doubles every few years in integrated circuits (ICs). However, Moore's law has started to fail as transistors are now so small that the current silicon-based technologies are unable to offer further opportunities for shrinking.
One possibility of overcoming Moore's law is to resort to two-dimensional semicondu ... more |
