The lab’s new large-amplitude motion platform, or LAMP, can mimic ocean motions, including waves up to 8 feet high, and supports devices weighing about as much as a small recreational vehicle. Credit: Bryan Bechtold, NREL Before pilots take to the real skies, they must first master the virtual ones. Luckily, there is a capability for that: A flight simulator replicates air flight—with all its choppy weather and turbulence—so pilots can practice on safe, solid ground. Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recently installed a technology that can replicate another choppy and turbulent environment: the ocean. The laboratory’s new…
Many companies grapple with data challenges. In a 2019 survey, Deloitte reports that 67% of executives aren’t comfortable accessing or using the data at their organizations. In a separate poll from NewVantage Partners, meanwhile, less than a third of firms identify themselves as being data-driven — despite significant investments in AI and business analytics tools. According to Michael Amori, the problem often lies in tooling. He’s the co-founder of Virtualitics, a startup developing software to help companies visualize — and gain insights, with any luck — from their data. “Common dashboard tools fall short of revealing the hidden insights buried…

Japanese company Gloture now offers a device called the NanoPC. It has a 5.5-inch screen, runs Windows 11 Pro, and easily fits in most pockets. The price is not too offputting at 84,700 yen ($585). Its size resembles a smartphone but is designed more as a PDA than a phone.…
Razer Barracuda Pro specs: Form factor: Over-ear, closed-back | Wireless protocol(s): Bluetooth 5.2, 2.4GHz wireless | Charging options(s): USB-C | Battery life: Up to 40 hours | Frequency response: 20Hz-20,000HzQuality ANC gaming headphones usually come with a price tag, and unfortunately, even lag. The vast majority of ANC headphones exclusively use Bluetooth as their connectivity nexus point, which can cause some latency issues. This delayed discrepancy between audio and video could even be a game-altering factor, meaning blocking out noise for gaming laser focus only goes so far. Gamers need both quiet and speed.This is where the Razer Barracuda Pro comes in. It combines Bluetooth, ANC, and…
