Conscious Insects, Auctioned Supercomputers, and Nuclear Clocks
In today's episode of "10 Minutes with Sami," we delve into three fascinating news stories that explore the limits of science and technology. We start by discussing the possibility that insects may possess some form of consciousness, a topic that is generating significant interest in the scientific community. Next, we discuss the auction of parts of the Cheyenne supercomputer, which was once among the most powerful and efficient in the world, and how this could make supercomputing accessible to a broader audience.
Lastly, we examine recent advances in nuclear clock technology, focusing on the promising developments with scandium-45 and thorium-229, which could revolutionize time measurement accuracy and have profound implications in fields such as navigation, telecommunications, and fundamental physics. Join us on this journey through the frontiers of science, where the consciousness of insects, affordable supercomputing, and atomic timing intertwine to shape our future.
