Strange Matter - Is it a problem ? - Science Feed

Hii, This is Science Feed.
Have you ever heard about strange matter ??

If no, then this line is for you ;)

"Strange Matter is a hypothetical form of quark matter which is more stable than nuclear matter."

There is a reason for saying it strange.
It is predicted that strange matter is found in the core of the neutron star. Neutron stars are one of the densest bodies in the universe. When a star, having 8 times the mass of its initial mass, gets exhausted all its nuclear fuel, then the star starts collapsing in its own core and temperature exceeds. As temperature rises, electrons and protons start forming neutrons by the electron capture process. Slowly, the repulsion force and neutron pressure stop the contraction of the core but start moving outwards leading to the formation of a supernova. Inside supernova, if the left core has 3 times less than the mass of the initial star, it becomes a neutron star. Otherwise, it becomes a black hole.
Now, inside the core of the neutron star, the density is beyond the critical limit due to which protons and neutrons break up into their native quarks. the final matter is hypothesized as strange matter,
So, According to the prediction, its inside neutron star.
But, Why Strange matter is problems for us?
Even after no singe proof, Strange matter is a problem.

Here is why.
Stranger matter has a bizarre property. It is so much stable that it can convert any nuclear matter in strange one. Even a small strangelet is able to destroy our whole planet in a small interval of time (as prediction). Neutron stars have strange matter in is core. Maybe two colliding neutron stars eject out strangelets, which will reach our planet from a distant part of our galaxy.
Currently, researches are going on quarks which may reveal more secrets about strange matter.

Some scientists also believe that one day we will be able to harness the life-saving energy from this weird state of matter. The strange matter may become our future source of energy.
But, we cannot say what will happen in the future.

How does a NPU, Neural Processing Unit, works? - Science Feed

By
A NPU (Neural Processing Unit), also knows as AI accelerator, is a computing unit specially designed for the running artificial intelligence and machine learning models efficiently and effectively on a single motherboard with other computing units.  There has been significant rise in the use of NPUs in personal devices like smartphones, laptops, PCs etc. to do personalized recommendations and offline AI processing.  NPUs are capable of parallel processing, low precision arithmetic, hardware acceleration.  These have silicon architecture to kind of simulate the human brain working like human where instruction set of AI efficiently ran. NPUs are not for computing traditional problems as it lacks important physical capabilities. Because of these, AI systems are able to learn faster without wasting time and energy. The parallel computation feature give wings to matrix operations ease, activation functions of neural networks, dot product.  NPUs have got dedicated compute ...

What is Dark Energy? - Science Feed

By
There are different forms of energy. But, there has been speculation of an hidden form of energy that has been kind of hiding from us which constitutes a large part of our universe.  The universe has been found to be expanding faster than the speed of light. The traditional form of energy that we have found has been to be not able to provide that much of push. So, there must be something. This type of energy is called Dark Energy. Dark Energy is that form of energy that is not understood by us but it is fundamental in nature and drives the process of the universe. In Theory of General Relativity, there is concept of cosmological constant which says there is a negative of gravitation or empty space that is all over the interstellar space.  The researchers of DES and others have found that the universe is expanding not alone of known form of energy but some mysterious form of it. This is also related to Big Bang. Dark energy is told to be constituent of 68 to 70% of total univer...

How are LIDARs changing field of Robotics - Science Feed

By
In the field of robotics, there is crucial role of sensors out of which the LIDARs (Light Detection and Ranging Sensors) are very important.  LIDAR sensors send the light and detects back the reflected light from any object to estimate how much far away the object is based on the calculations. Laser is used as primary light source as it can bounce back on most surfaces. These are used to make maps of the area where the robot will move around for navigation.  There are different kinds of LIDAR sensors like 1D LIDARs, 2D LIDARs, 3D LIDARs and even 4D LIDARs.  1D LIDARs are most basic type of it because these emit laser in one direction at a time and a point for point cloud is created. A point cloud is a group of large number of points that create map of the area. 1D LIDAR then moves in other direction and make different point after that.  2D LIDARs are the better version of 1D LIDARs as if you are rotating the 1D LIDAR in continuous rotation to project it in a circular...
