A Martian meteorite nicknamed Black BeautyCarl B. Agee (University of New Mexico) Crystals inside a Martian meteorite hint that there may have been plentiful hot water on Mars when the rock formed 4.45 billion years ago. The rock, nicknamed Black Beauty, was blasted into space by an impact on the surface of Mars before ultimately crashing into the Sahara desert. Much has already been learned about Mars from studying the meteorite, which was discovered in Morocco in 2011 and is formally known as Northwest Africa 7034. Aaron Cavosie at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, and his colleagues have spent years…

Chip design has come a long way since 1971, when Federico Faggin finished sketching the first commercial microprocessor, the Intel 4004, using little more than a straightedge and colored pencils. Today’s designers have a plethora of software tools at their disposal to plan and test new integrated circuits. But as chips have grown staggeringly complex—with some comprising hundreds of billions of transistors—so have the problems designers must solve. And those tools aren’t always up to the task. Modern chip engineering is an iterative process of nine stages, from system specification to packaging. Each stage has several substages, and each of…
QUESTION: Would you meet with Putin? DI ANSWER: The Neocons will NOT allow Biden to call Putin and certainly not meet with him. Why? If you play poker with someone you never met, exactly how would you know if they were bluffing or not? I would meet with Karl Marx. One thing my father taught me is that it is NEVER what I think; it is what your opponent thinks. Just look at Iran. You have to understand their version of Islam if you hope to comprehend what is and is not possible. It would be best if you met…
Credit: Screenshot via Sky News Australia Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski made a controversial decision to meet with President-elect Donald Trump following his election victory. It appears to be killing them in the ratings. Now, to be fair, MSNBC’s ratings were on a downward trend regardless.
