Microsoft Research Lab in Cambridge has unveiled the world's first analog optical computer which promises to solve optimization problems at a lightning-fast pace, a press release said. The computer uses photons and electrons to process continuous value data instead of crunching them to binary bits using transistors.⁠ ⁠ Optimization problems are everywhere around us whether one considers managing electricity on the grid or delivering goods to your doorstep from the warehouse of the seller. Optimizing involves the use of the least resources to maximize returns for processes.⁠ ⁠ Find out more at the link in bio. 🚀⁠ #engineering #interestingengineering

South Koreans are now officially younger after a new law went into effect that recalculates the age of a person based on international standards based on a person's date of birth, rather than traditional South Korean methods of determining age.⁠ ⁠ The new law, which was passed by the South Korean government in December of last year, does away with the 'Korean Age' system, which considered time spent in the womb into a person's age, assigning newborns as 1 year of age when they were born, and then advancing everyone's age by one on January 1, rather than on their actual birthday.⁠ ⁠ Find out more at the link in bio. 🚀⁠ #engineering #interestingengineering

China has begun construction of its third icebreaker in a bid to send researchers to polar seabeds as early as 2025, the South China Morning Post reported. The country's current ice breakers Xuelong 1 and Xuelong 2 are mainly tasked with supply replenishment missions at the North and the South Pole.⁠ ⁠ The term "icebreaker" commonly refers to large vessels that possess a reinforced hull and a heavily strengthened bow, utilizing their substantial weight to break through ice formations.⁠ ⁠ Find out more at the link in bio. 🚀⁠ #engineering #interestingengineering
