Proteins are structured like folded chains. These chains are composed of small units of 20 possible amino acids, each labeled by a letter of the alphabet. A protein chain can be represented as a string of these alphabetic letters, very much like a string of music notes in alphabetical notation.
Protein chains can also fold into wavy and curved patterns with ups, downs, turns, and loops. Likewise, music consists of sound waves of higher and lower pitches, with changing tempos and repeating motifs.
Elon Musk reiterated Teslaâs commitment to China, stating that the company will continue to invest in the country. Musk made his announcement at a pre-recorded question-and-answer session at Chinaâs Cyberspace Administrationâs Global Digital Conference. Musk has hailed the country that is vital to his electric vehicle company for the second time this month, calling it as a âglobal leader in digitalization.â As per Mr. Muskâs comments made during another pre-recorded webcast at the World New Energy Vehicle Congress less than two weeks earlier, Chinese automakers were the âmost internationally competitive.â Musk was enthusiastic in his praise for the nation that is vital to Teslaâs electric vehicle business, and his remarks came as the company works to repair its image in China. Musk stated, âI have a lot of respect for the various Chinese automakers who are driving these (EV) technologies.â Musk stated Chinese carmakers are among the best at software, which he claims will âshape the future of the vehicle industryâ during his three-minute speech. âMy honest view is that China invests a lot of resources and efforts adopting the latest digital technologies in various areas, including the automotive industry,â Musk said in a recent video. China has become a global leader in digitalization in the vehicle industry.â âTesla will continue to boost its investment and research and development efforts in China.â However, negative coverage of Tesla has also grown in China over the last year. In one high-profile case, a woman claiming to be a Tesla customer protested an apparent brake failure in her car at the Shanghai auto show in April. Tesla was accused of having an âarrogant and aggressive approachâ in China, according to official media, after a video of the incident went viral on Chinese social media. But now, Tesla has been attempting to repair its image in China following a barrage of negative headlines. The corporation has been under governmental scrutiny for its privacy practises, as well as several recalls in China. Some state and military employees are apparently restricted from driving Tesla electric vehicles. Musk emphasized data protection in his speech and outlined the many types of data that are stored locally. âAt Tesla, weâre pleased to see a bustle of fresh laws and regulations targeted at enhancing data handling,â Musk remarked. In the past, the corporation is said to have broken ground on a big Shanghai facility. According to Reports, Tesla sold 44,264 Made-in-China automobiles by August 2021. There were 31,379 for export, which marked an increase over Julyâs 32,968 made-in-China automobiles sold and Juneâs 33,155 units sold. Local EV firms like Xpeng Inc., Li Auto Inc., and Nio Inc. are also posing a threat to Tesla in China. Last month, shipments of China-made cars to domestic purchasers increased, and exports from the companyâs Shanghai factory â largely to Europe â increased. As a result, Teslaâs overall China shipments increased 34% from July to 44,264 units in August. According to sources, Tesla momentarily suspended some tasks at its Shanghai factory last month due to a global shortfall of semiconductors. Because of a shortage of crucial chips, a portion of a production line at the China plant was shut down for nearly four days in August. Tesla created a data centre in China to contain all of the data generated by our businesses there, which include manufacturing, sales, service, and charging. All personally identifying information is kept secure in China and is never sent abroad. Data is only permitted for international transfer in very rare instances, such as spare parts orders from overseas.â Tesla is acting in response to new Chinese government regulations governing how carmakers with cameras and sensors collect and use data. Tesla also said in a statement that it was âglad to hold discussions with industry expertsâ regarding new data security requirements for automobiles in the country. âData security in automobiles is critical. Tesla will make every effort to maintain data security by implementing automotive data security management.â

Intel today announced a major update to its neuromorphic computing program, including a second-generation chip called Loihi 2 and Lava, an open-source framework for developing âneuro-inspiredâ applications. The company is now offering two Loihi 2-based neuromorphic systems â Oheo Gulch and Kapoho Point. They will be available through a cloud service to members of the Intel Neuromorphic Research Community (INRC) and Lava via GitHub for free.
Full Story:
Intel unveiled the second generation of its neuromorphic chip and claims it will be able to solve planning and optimization problems.
The new fiber was created by placing hundreds of square silicon microscale digital chips into a preform that was then used to create a polymer fiber. By precisely controlling the polymer flow, the researchers were able to create a fiber with continuous electrical connection between the chips over a length of tens of meters.
On the northwest coast of Taiwan, nestled between mudflats teeming with fiddler crabs and sweet-scented persimmon orchards, sits the worldâs most important company that youâve probably never heard of. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., or TSMC, is the worldâs largest contract manufacturer of the semiconductor chipsâotherwise known as integrated circuits, or just chipsâthat power our phones, laptops, cars, watches, refrigerators and more. Its clients include Apple, Intel, Qualcomm, AMD and Nvidia.
Inside its boxy off-white headquarters in sleepy Hsinchu County, technicians in brightly hued protective suitsâwhite and blue for employees, green for contractors and pink for pregnant womenâpush polished metal carts under a sallow protective light. Above their heads, âclaw machinesâânicknamed after the classic arcade gameâhaul 9-kg plastic containers containing 25 individual slices, or âwafers,â of silicon on rails among hundreds of manufacturing stations, where they are extracted one by one for processing, much like a jukebox selecting a record. Only after six to eight weeks of painstaking etching and testing can each wafer be carved up into individual chips to be dispatched around the planet.
âWe always say that itâs like building a high-rise,â one TSMC section manager tells TIME, pointing to how his technicians diligently follow instructions dictated to them via tablet. âYou can only build one story at a time.â
When Nicole Oliveira was just learning to walk, she would throw up her arms to reach for the stars in the sky.
Today, at just eight years of age, the Brazilian girl is known as the worldâs youngest astronomer, looking for asteroids as part of a NASA-affiliated program, attending international seminars and meeting with her countryâs top space and science figures.
In Oliveiraâs room, filled with posters of the Solar System, miniature rockets and Star Wars figures, Nicolinha, as she is affectionately known, works on her computer studying images of the sky on two large screens.
Reversible system can flip the magnetic orientation of particles with a small voltage; could lead to faster data storage and smaller sensors.
Most of the magnets we encounter daily are made of âferromagneticâ materials. The north-south magnetic axes of most atoms in these materials are lined up in the same direction, so their collective force is strong enough to produce significant attraction. These materials form the basis for most of the data storage devices in todayâs high-tech world.
Less common are magnets based on ferrimagnetic materials, with an âi.â In these, some of the atoms are aligned in one direction, but others are aligned in precisely the opposite way. As a result, the overall magnetic field they produce depends on the balance between the two types â if there are more atoms pointed one way than the other, that difference produces a net magnetic field in that direction.
At the SAS 2021 security conference today, analysts from security firm Kaspersky Lab have published details about a new Chinese cyber-espionage group that has been targeting high-profile entities across South East Asia since at least July 2020.
Named GhostEmperor, Kaspersky said the group uses highly sophisticated tools and is often focused on gaining and keeping long-term access to its victims through the use of a powerful rootkit that can even work on the latest versions of Windows 10 operating systems.
âWe observed that the underlying actor managed to remain under the radar for months,â Kaspersky researchers explained today.
