Today at Walmart, you can find theAcer Nitro ED240Q Sbiip24-inch curved FHD gaming monitor for one of its lowest prices. It usually goes for around $199, which is already a reasonable price for a curved gaming display with an AMD FreeSync Premium certification. However, today’s discount takes the price down to just $81. This price is even cheaper than the going rate on the official Acer website. As of this writing, Walmart has not specified an expiration date for the offer, so we’re unsure how long it will be available at a discount....

Current known lithium reserves are under tremendous pressure due to soaring demand driven by the widespread use of lithium-ion batteries. A recent study by theUSGSestimates that there may be approximately 5.1 to 19 million tons of lithium in Southern Arkansas, with the latter representing almost 136% of the United States' current lithium resource estimate. Delving into the details, this lithium concentration is projected to be in the Smackover Formation brines of Arkansas....

ASML has announced that its first extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tool with projection optics featuring a 0.55 numerical aperture (High-NA) has printed its first patterns. The announcement is a major milestone for both ASML and for High-NA EUV lithography technology in general. “Our High-NA EUV system in Veldhoven printed the first-ever 10 nanometer dense lines,” astatement by ASML reads. “Imaging was done after optics, sensors and stages completed coarse calibration. Next up: bringing the system to full performance....

Adding wood to PC cases has been a popular theme for manufacturers this year. Following the trend,Asus has introducedthe ProArt PA602 Wood Edition PC case, which combines wood elements with the original PA602 chassis.
