Hello you fine Internet folks,

At Hot Chips 2026, Intel showed off its next-gen 2027 Diamond Rapids server CPU with up to 256 cores per socket

Direct measurements of diamond melting under extreme pressure resolved a long-standing theory-experiment mismatch and could improve both fusion research and planetary models.

Extreme experiments have revealed how diamond behaves at crushing pressures beyond those inside Neptune and Uranus, resolving a decades-old conflict between theory and observation. The results could help scientists boost fusion energy output while reveali

A new diamond composite developed by Chinese researchers uses a three-dimensional carbon-nanotube network to increase fracture toughness without...
