Freehand sketching is practically in my DNA, yet I had never felt so amateur when I began illustrating Leisha Stanek — my first time drawing a live model. By cash or check, 12 artists were allowed into this Sunday’s morning studio group, “Long Pose,” hosted by Iowa City’s ArtiFactory. The event was located in the
Electrostatic capacitors play a crucial role in modern electronics. They enable ultrafast charging and discharging, providing energy storage and power for devices ranging from smartphones, laptops and routers to medical devices, automotive electronics and industrial equipment. However, the ferroelectric materials used in capacitors have significant energy loss due to their material properties, making it difficult to provide high energy storage capability.
AI and a large sample group allowed researchers to uncover key differences between the brains of those who experience psychosis and those who don't.
Tesla cut the prices for its Model Y, Model X and Model S vehicles in the U.S. by $2,000 each on Friday, according to the electric vehicle maker's website. Elon Musk's electric vehicle maker lowered the prices for its Model Y base variant to $42,990, while the long-range and performance variants are now priced at $47,990 and $51,490, respectively, the website showed. The basic version of the Model S now costs $72,990 and its plaid variant $87,990. The Model X base variant now costs $77,990 and...
University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have constructed a robot that uses machine learning to fully automate a complicated microinjection process used in genetic research.
Electrons inside solid materials can only take certain values of energy. The allowed energy ranges are called "bands," and the space between them, the forbidden energies, is known as "band gaps." Both of them together constitute the "band structure" of the material, which is a unique characteristic of each specific material.

Capacitors are crucial components in electronic devices such as smartphones and computers. They are made of dielectric materials that polarize on the application of the voltage. Currently, barium titanate (BaTiO3) is the most widely used material for capacitors.
Precious Moments nursery is praised by parents for going 'above and beyond' for their children
Google's cyclical process of giving us capabilities only to later remove them, seems to be a core part of its strategy.
Back in December 2023, Microsoft released Phi-2 model with 2.7 billion parameters that delivered state-of-the-art performance among base language models with less than 13 billion parameters. In the past four months, several other models that got released outperformed Phi-2. Recently, Meta released Llama-3 family of models that outperformed all the previously released open-source models. Last […]
Although Ray has adopted a scale of 1:76, the most popular scale for model railways, all of Ray’s track has been hand built and uses an accurate track gauge for the scale, without some of the compromises of ready to run models. This model railway layout will be on display in Edinburgh on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 June 2024, where the Edinburgh and Lothians Miniature Railway Club (E&LMRC) are holding their first model railway exhibition for many years in the Senior School Assembly Hall at George...
