Wizzle got a reaction from PeterT in Human Circulatory System Inspires Extremely Efficient Semiconductor Cooling
Summary
As electronics get smaller and more compact, they require increasingly efficient cooling, and the smaller the cooler must be, the more pressure is required to maintain consistent flow of the liquid, which begins to require exponentially more energy the smaller they get. To the tune of 50x the efficiency, scientists have achieved this very well by going from uniform-width microchannels to ones that narrow exactly where the heat is- mimicking and inspired by how veins transform into capillaries at certain points. Pictured below is the above-mentioned breakthrough.

My thoughts
After having seen multiple breakthroughs in different scientific areas in the past, all inspired by nature, it is clear to me that the superior philosophy, in the future at least, will be to mimic the organic until such a time as artificial intelligence becomes better at design than God- which is fundamentally impossible, but you get my meaning. I am in general simultaneously very excited about the progression of technology and very disturbed at how far I have to go in my education before I can begin to work on bleeding-edge things like this.

Do you guys think @LinusTech knows about this?! WATER-COOLED EVERYTHING JUST GOT VERY VERY POSSIBLE. WOOOO!

Soon we will have clones far smarter than ourselves.

Wizzle reacted to Moonzy in Internet speed record shattered at 178 terabits per second
178,000,000 megabits a second
how many jpegs is that?

Wizzle got a reaction from zeusthemoose in What the hell is Nanoedge by Asus?
Well, according to Alex per a review of a laptop on LTT, nanoedge's screen particles are organized to bounce light around until barely any of it reflects out of the screen, versus the antiglare spray which causes a weird sparkly effect. So, it's def different, I just wanna know if anything is out there LIKE it- and specifically I wanna know if there's 3840 x 2160 display out there with that magnitude of awesomeness.

Wizzle reacted to Electronics Wizardy in Purchase advice?
Id get something like this https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Portable-External-STEA2000400/dp/B00TKFEE5S/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1525470670&sr=1-5&keywords=external+hdd
The brands are about the same, and your not getting a 4tb in that budget.
