The latest byte size roundups from Tech World
Welcome to Lune Digital`s fortnightly Newsletter of the most impactful future shaping content on Technology, Coding, Machine Learning and Science. In this edition you`ll read about groundbreaking hybrid battery that takes less time to recharge than filling up a car in a petrol station, saving trees by 3D printing them instead, and why 8-bit microcontrollers still popular in embedded systems.
A game-changing new electric hybrid battery system - called eTechnology - can recharge to 80% in just 72 seconds and offers much longer lifespans than traditional lithium-ion batteries. This hybrid system uses technology from traditional batteries and ultracapacitors. This new technology has great potential, and it could help wide spreading of?small electric cars.
We can now 3D print as much wood as we want without cutting a single tree. Scientists at MIT demonstrated a technique in May that allows them to 3D-print lab-grown wood into any shape and size. The wood was created from the cells of the common zinnia plant combined with a liquid medium and a gel solution of hormones and nutrients. Researchers controlled the physical and mechanical properties of the wood by changing the concentration of the hormones. FORAY bioscience was formed to further develop the technology with the plan to print timber using cells from trees like pine.
Optical computers can do many calculations at the same time while using less power than traditional computers. Analog optical computers excel at linear algebra, making them ideal for machine learning applications. The technology to make optical neural networks is now commercially viable. This technology could enable low power devices to perform deep-learning operations without having to transfer potentially sensitive data elsewhere.

Building a system on 8-bit in this cutting-edge world makes you feel like a dinosaur whose extinction is near? 8-bit microcontrollers still going strong despite the undeniable facts that the big brother of 32-bit microcontrollers have multiple cores, security, and the ability to run machine learning inferences ... and yet 8-bit microcontrollers still going strong and dominates tech and embedded system industry.
