The Tech Castle

Electricity and water don't mix well - well, actually, they mix really well. Though, a thought of electric boat may seem risky but a new California start-up called Arc  is going to try to shred that perception, starting with a limited edition 24-foot water sports boat that will cost around $300,000. It is company's first project, which expects to bring to a commercial stage by the end of this year.  Structure of Electric Boat Arc already has a prototype. The vessel is made of aluminum, which allowed to reduce the weight of the structure, and the battery is planned to be made a structural element of the electric vehicle. It will be 7 meters long and it is claimed that the boat will be able to move through the water at speeds up to 70 km/h. The boat will have a 200kWh, 800-volt battery pack - roughly double the capacity and voltage of Tesla's current top-tier pack - and an electric motor with at least 475 horsepower. It will have a top speed of around 40 miles per hour and ru...

  The University of California, the San Diego School of Medicine, describes a new method that uses machine learning to target disease targets and predicts whether a drug can obtain FDA approval. The findings of the study could drastically change how researchers sift through large amounts of data to obtain valuable information that is of great benefit to patients, the pharmaceutical industry, and national health care systems. “This is primarily a drug that works perfectly on the preterm birth side that is similar or similar. This is a clinical case that is considered to be the Achilles' heel of any drug discovery system. ” The availability of drugs, in the current situation, is costly and has a high level of attraction, which puts a lot of pressure on the industry to address this challenge. One area of ​​high fall translates from pre-trial testing to clinical trials, where drugs that usually work well in inbred preclinical models, such as mice, do not translate into clinical patie...

  What is Robotic  Process Automation? Robotic process automation (RPA) is a software technology that makes it easy to build, deploy, and manage software robots that imitate human actions interacting with digital systems and software. Just like us, software robots can also do things like understand what is on the screen, navigate systems, identify and extract the data, and perform set of defined actions. But software robots can do it faster and more consistently than people, without the need to get up and stretch or take a coffee break. What are the benefits of RPA in business? Cost saving - RPA drives rapid and significant improvement to business metrics. High accuracy - 57% say RPA reduces manual errors, which lead to high accuracy. Boost in productivity - It is believed that automation will make them more productive. Happier employees - RPA increases engagement of employees. Where can RPA be used? Healthcare - can be used for handling records of patients, their claims, cust...

  Researchers managed to achieve a speed of 6.55 million random read IOPS using DPUs to handle data processing loads. If you’ve been stuck at home , you’ve probably become more attuned to the quality (or lack thereof) of your internet connection. Even in the U.S. (which has a reasonably fast average broadband download speed of 132 Mbps) over a quarter of households have internet speeds below 25 Mbps. Researchers are constantly working to push the limits on achievable internet speeds, and now, an Australian team has broken the world record internet speed, delivering a whopping 44.2 terabits per second  from a single optical chip . How it’s a new record?  Dutch researchers involved in high-performance computing have managed to achieve a speed of 6.55 million random read IOPS  (Input/output operations per second) using a storage node that’s been designed by a company called Fungible.  Fungible is a storage start-up based in California, and according to them, these ...

In the ever-connected world that we live in today, it's odd to know that certain spots don't yet have reliable internet - one of which are airplanes. But if SpaceX has anything to do with it, it'll make that happen. What is SpaceX? SpaceX is a private spaceflight company that puts satellites into orbit and delivers cargo and, more recently, crew to the International Space Station (ISS). Founded by Elon Musk. SpaceX is reportedly in talks with "several airlines" about providing their aircraft with Starlink satellites' internet network to provide travellers onboard flights with faster internet speed. What is Starlink? Starlink is the company's capital-intensive project to build an interconnected internet network with thousands of satellites, known in the space industry as a constellation. It has already launched 1800 satellites out of the planned 4,440 and plans to provide global coverage with high-speed broadband internet. The service initially was meant fo...

  Mobile Dialysis Startup Eyes Human Trials In 2022 This past year, three sheep in Canada have been wearing their kidneys on their sleeves. Or more aptly, in jackets of their fluffy backs. These three sheep are part of an ongoing animal study run by the Buffalo, New York-based startup Qidni Labs, a company pursuing waterless and mobile blood purification systems. Qidni labs were also a winner of the KidneyX 2019 Summit for developing an air removal system for a wearable renal therapy device.  The jackets are a prototype of Qidni’s mobile hemodialysis machine called Qidni/D. The idea behind it is that the machine is significantly smaller than the traditional hemodialysis setup and it uses fewer fluids, allowing patients to be more free and mobile. As per the records many people in the world are facing some type of chronic kidney disease and over time this disease could progress into kidney failure, at which point the patients are recommended to undergo dialysis or receive a tra...

                      A DEEP DIVE INTO CRYPTOCURRENCY   What is Cryptocurrency?   A cryptocurrency is a form of payment that can be exchanged online for goods and services. Many companies have issued their own currencies, often called tokens, and these can be traded specifically for the good or service that the company provides. Think of them as you would arcade tokens or casino chips. You’ll need to exchange real currency for the cryptocurrency to access the good or service.   Cryptocurrencies work using a technology called a blockchain. Blockchain is a decentralized technology spread across many computers that manage and record transactions. Part of the appeal of this technology is its security.   Cryptocurrencies can act like real money—in a sense, they are real money—but they take a digital monetary form and are not managed or governed by any central authority. A true product of the digital age, cry...
