A research team from the University of Tokyo has devised a new cooling solution that uses water’s changing phases to make it more efficient at removing heat.SciTech Dailysays that water absorbs seven times the energy when it changes phase from liquid to gas (i.e., boiling the water), allowing it to capture and dissipate more heat versus the traditional method of using flowing water. However, since the coolant flows through tiny capillaries built directly into the chip, the steam would often have difficulty flowing through these narrow channels....

Few things are more strenuous than finding new employment— but even worse is when a potential new employer turns out to be fake and is instead using an apparent job opportunity as a way to infect you with malware. Per a report fromReversing Labs, a leading cybersecurity firm, this has been happening to Python developers courtesy of North Korean hackers for about a year, and is likely to continue. These particular attacks from North Korean state-funded hacking team Lazarus Group are new, but the overall malware campaign against the Python development community has been running since at least August of 2023, when a number of popular open source Python tools were maliciously duplicated with added malware....

First hinted in a driver,Nvidiahas finally launched theRTX 5880 Ada, a graphics card explicitly tailored for the Chinese market and conforms to the latest U.S. export rules. As you can quickly tell by its model name, theAda Lovelacegraphics card slots between theRTX 6000 AdaandRTX 5000 Ada. Nvidia utilizes the AD102 silicon for the RTX 6000 Ada and RTX 5000 Ada; therefore, the RTX 5880 Ada is, in all likelihood, using a variant of the same silicon due to the number of CUDA cores....
