This new-age industry is in the ‘valley of despair,’ but it may have a new catalyst: Ark Invest CEO – CNBC

May 26, 2020 | Author: admin

There are two sides to the story of 3D printing stocks.

Shares of industry stalwarts Stratasys and 3D Systemshave fallen around 90% from their 2014 highs, struggling to hang onto gains as the coronavirus pandemic put a strain on consumer demand. In the meantime, competitors Proto Labs and Materialise NV have seen their stocks soar, up almost 75% and over 92% in the same time frame.

So, what gives?

Catherine Wood, the CEO and chief investment officer at Ark Invest, which runs an exchange-traded fund partly focused on 3D printing, says the group has seen an important divergence in recent years.

Currently, "it's in the valley of despair," she told CNBC's "ETF Edge" on Monday. "Many stocks are down 80 to 90% from their highs because their focus was on the consumer space and not on the industrial space."

"Crisis creates opportunity, and that it is going to accelerate the demand for 3D printing."

Wood's firm presides over the ArkAutonomous Technology & Robotics ETF(ARKQ), formerly known as the Industrial Innovation ETF. Its top holding is Tesla at 11% of the portfolio, followed by Proto Labs at 10%, education software company 2U at 8%, Stratasys at 6.5% and Materialise at 6%. ARKQ is up almost 17% year to date.

But there could be a new near-term catalyst for the space as the pandemic pressures industries like travel, Wood said. Aircraft manufacturer Boeing has said that air travel could take up to three years to recover.

"Boeing and Airbus, their gross margins are in the 15-20% range," Wood said."Now that the FAA is approving it, 3D printing can cut those costs by up to 90% as well as lower the weight and form factors of the various parts in engines and shrink the number of parts. ... Given the turmoil and trouble it's in right now, [the aerospace industry] is going to seek out even more aggressively some of these new technologies that are going to help it get back to profitability."

In short, "crisis creates opportunity, and that it is going to accelerate the demand for 3D printing," Wood said and that demand won't just come from aerospace companies.

"There are many medical applications ... that are going to submit to 3D printing because 3D printing allows for such incredible customization," she said.

That could include artificial hips and knees, Wood said, adding that a majority of hearing aids are, in fact, 3D printed.

"Cloud ETFs have brought in over $1 billion year to date."

Jay Jacobs

Head of Research and Strategy, Global X ETFs

Automobile manufacturers could also soon turn to 3D printing in a big way as they run into demand issues, the CEO said.

"They are going to be turning to new technologies that are going to help them lower their costs, lower the fuel consumption in terms of weight and, ultimately, create different form factors," Wood said. "We think that entire autos, ultimately, will be 3D printed."

All this goes to show that not all industries are subject to weakness in the face of the pandemic, Jay Jacobs, head of research and strategy at Global X ETFs, said in the same "ETF Edge" interview.

"Investors are recognizing that disruptive technologies [are] not only not really harmed by what we're seeing during Covid-19, they're actually some of the biggest beneficiaries," he said.

Jacobs cited his firm's Global X Cloud Computing ETF (CLOU) as an example. CLOU has climbed nearly 23% this year.

"It's holding companies that are facilitating video conferencing. It's holding companies that are facilitating governments communicating with their local constituents about emergency response or companies communicating with their customers all through software, through the internet, through these different types of cloud infrastructure, and that is just how the world is working during this stay-at-home environment," Jacobs said.

CLOU's top holdings are Twilio at 6%, Everbridge at 5%, Zoom Video at 5%, Shopify at 5% and Coupa Software at 4%.

"We're seeing a lot of interest in cloud and robotics right now, and cloud in particular. Cloud ETFs have brought in over $1 billion year to date with most of that money coming in just in April," Jacobs said. "So, investors certainly realize that cloud computing has become really the key to the economy right now."

ARKQ ended trading up less than 1% on Friday. CLOU rose nearly 2%.

CloudBackend shows the future of the cloud with a distributed platform for companies to innovate on – Express Computer

May 26, 2020 | Author: admin

CloudBackend, a company building a new globalcloud from Europe, and founded by the inventors of iCloud, has after 2 years in stealthmode opened up for onboarding a select few customers.

With over 10 years in the making, the company was founded as a spin-out from Xcerion and CloudMe in 2018. The objective is to disrupt with a single industrialized distributed cloud that abstracts underlying differences of all clouds and provides a unified platform to innovate on. It is about enabling innovation by moving into a model where the cloud is configured, similar to how a database is configured to hold any information. This will make the cloud more accessible, cost effective, and reduce time to market similar to how hardware platforms like Arduino allows anyone to become an IoT innovator.

Newly appointed Chief Commercial Officer, Simon Telian, says: Opening up marks a new phase where we will share our technology discovery with the rest of the world. We expect customers in industries such as telecom, automotive, consumer electronics, industrial automation, energy, and IoT, who need to gather, process, manage, and synchronize data.

With a challenged world economy due to COVID-19, we expect 5G and distributed Edge Computing to be important innovations to cut costs and create jobs adds Anders Weister, Director of Application Engineering. The industry veteran has an extensive background from Sun Microsystems and Oracle before joining the founding team last year.

Jay Zimmermann, Director of Research & Development, says: We are pushing the envelope in making it easy for our customers to be innovative, we want to put them in control of digitalization and demonstrate that technology really can work for them.

Looking up: UFO occupants and the legacy of language – Roswell Daily Record

May 26, 2020 | Author: admin

By Donald Burleson

Special to the Daily

Record

Reportedly, we have had some exposure to the languages used by UFO crews. Some primary witnesses described peculiar inscriptions seen on the 1947 Roswell wreckage, and when physicist Robert Oppenheimer was present at the 1948 Aztec, New Mexico, UFO crash retrieval as part of the scientific team summoned to examine the craft, he took notice of alien markings adorning a sort of book found inside, observing that the inscriptions rather resembled Sanskrit, a classical language with which he was familiar.

One wishes we could know more about these strange symbols strange to us, anyway in terms of the eternal mysteries of language.

In the study of linguistics, theres a theory called the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, which essentially says that the structure of the language a person learns to speak in childhood largely determines the way that person perceives and categorizes the world. Different languages impart different world-views.

For example, in the world of scientists, there may be linguistic factors relating to the fact that speakers of Asian languages often excel at quantum mechanics.

For western scientists, quantum theory is frequently experienced as counter-intuitive. Its basic precepts seem to run contrary to common sense. Take particle entanglement, for instance. We entangle two particles, project them in opposite directions at the speed of light, alter the spin of one of the departing particles, and the spin of the other particle is instantly altered, as well. Some scientists initially found this so unreasonable that they refused to believe it until they saw experiments proving it true.

The reason for this reaction, in keeping with the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, may be that in western countries, we speak languages in which the relation between nouns and verbs would encourage us to think of particles as things rather than processes. But in quantum physics, one needs to think of a subatomic particle not as a thing but as a spectrum of events. Asian languages tend to favor this way of seeing the world from the outset, so that in effect, the speakers of such languages experience a fairly natural affinity with quantum theory.

We may only speculate, of course, on how the users of those peculiar-looking UFO inscriptions are prompted to see the universe, due to the nature of their languages. What if those languages revolve around grammatical structures so friendly to quantum concepts that they give their speakers an even more dramatic scientific advantage than that which is arguably enjoyed by speakers of some languages here on Earth? Its entirely possible that an alien languages form conduces to giving its speakers, at an early age, profound insights into the most arcane aspects of science. After all, UFOs exhibit an undeniably advanced technology.

And if, as many speculate, some UFOs are time travelers from our own distant future, things get more intriguing still. We know how our own languages have evolved over the past few thousand years, but what about the next million years? Maybe linguistically were in the slow process of becoming better scientists all the time.

Next-Gen Laser Beams With Up to 10 Petawatts of Power Will Usher In New Era of Relativistic Plasmas Research – SciTechDaily

May 26, 2020 | Author: admin

Laser beams with power up to 10 petawatts will create plasmas with energy levels to be studied with quantum electrodynamics, with implications for medical imaging and security detection

The subject of the 2018 Nobel Prize in physics, chirped pulse amplification is a technique that increases the strength of laser pulses in many of todays highest-powered research lasers. As next-generation laser facilities look to push beam power up to 10 petawatts, physicists expect a new era for studying plasmas, whose behavior is affected by features typically seen in black holes and the winds from pulsars.

Researchers released a study taking stock of what upcoming high-power laser capabilities are poised to teach us about relativistic plasmas subjected to strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) processes. In addition, the proposed new study designs for further exploring these new phenomena.

Appearing inPhysics of Plasmas, from AIP Publishing, the article introduces the physics of relativistic plasma in supercritical fields, discusses the current state of the field and provides an overview of recent developments. It also highlights open questions and topics that are likely to dominate the attention of people working in the field over the next several years.

Strong-field QED is a lesser-studied corner of the standard model of particle physics that has not been explored at big collider facilities, such as SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory or CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, due to the lack of strong electromagnetic fields in accelerator settings. With high-intensity lasers, researchers can use strong fields, which have been observed in phenomena such as gamma ray emission and electron-positron pair production.

The group explores how the findings could potentially lead to advances in studies of fundamental physics and in the development of high-energy ion, electron, positron and photon sources. Such findings would be crucial for expanding on many types of scanning technology present today, ranging from materials science studies to medical radiotherapy to next-generation radiography for homeland security and industry.

The QED processes will result in dramatically new plasma physics phenomena, such as the generation of dense electron-positron pair plasma from near vacuum, complete laser energy absorption by QED processes, or the stopping of an ultrarelativistic electron beam, which could penetrate a centimeter of lead by a hairs breadth of laser light.

What kind of new technology these new plasma physics phenomena might translate is largely unknown, especially because the field of QED plasmas itself is a kind of uncharted territory in physics, author Peng Zhang said. At the current stage, even adequate theoretical understanding is significantly lacking.

The group hopes the paper will help bring the attention of more researchers to the exciting new fields of QED plasmas.

What does the Tenet title mean? Quantum mechanics and Einsteins theory – Explica

May 26, 2020 | Author: admin

Share

We recently saw the new trailer for Tenet by Christoper Nolan, but far from solving the doubts we have has caused us to have more questions. We also know that the plot is about a group of people trying to avoid the third world war. However, there is also something strange at stake here: an element that doubles time and quantum theory will be very important to it.

It is no secret that Christopher Nolan loves to play with time, like he does in his movies like Origin, which has caused that there are even fans who have theorized that Tenet may be a kind of sequel. The trailer makes it clear that it is about an agency that works to prevent the global catastrophe, and there is something called tenet, which seems to be a way to play over time. Kind of like manipulating what has happened instead of time travel.

But although Christopher Nolan sends us the message that we do not try to decipher the secrets ahead of time, we are very curious and want to know more. Like for example what the title of Tenet means.

Tenets literal translation is principle, dogma, or canon. And it has been shown that there is a fundamental limitation to our ability to measure time, combining quantum mechanics and Einsteins theory of general relativity. So it is something that the film will explore. Interestingly he played with something similar in Interstellar, since it showed that time passed differently depending on where they were. For this reason, a man stays in the ship and becomes very old while for the rest of them who travel to the aquatic planet hardly a few hours pass.

So to understand Tenet, either Christopher Nolan has made it very clear or you will have to know quantum physics and have Origin (2010) and Interstellar (2017) fresh in your memory.

Starting to look at email security. Looking for guidance – Encryption Methods and Programs – BleepingComputer

May 25, 2020 | Author: admin

It's going to be difficult to have all of those features.

Protonmail is kind of the go-to, and it is free. When the recipient tries to read it, it will launch a new page for them to log in to. It's so secure that you can't even search your own e-mail. But it does ask you to integrate existing contacts, which I don't like (you can always tell it no, but still). If you get your contacts to sign up for ProtonMail, you may be able to exchange e-mails without a password and still have end-to-end encryption.

Here is one option to consider:

https://www.startmail.com/en/

The reason that I recommend this service is because I know some of the people involved. Granted, it has been 15 or 16 years, but I have spoken to these people in person before StartMail was even a concept. One of the founders was co-author of a book called "SpyChips," which chronicled some of the dangers to our security and privacy by RFID chips. Unlike ProtonMail, your mail is searchable. IMAP is disabled by default. You can encrypt and sign the e-mail if you want - you have total choice on whether the e-mail is sent encrypted or not. You will have to find a secure way to transmit the password to your intended recipient. It is $60 a year whether you pick the personal or professional plan has the most features, but limits you to 1 email per year - the professional plan. It doesn't launch another webpage when the recipient opens the mail like Protonmail does.

Here is the latest PC Magazine review:https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/startmail?test_uuid=03GdTca9yYczB0udADO47Ac&test_variant=b- they don't provide details like they used to.

You can check your local yellowpages.com for email service providers and call around first to see what security features they offer. You would have a less-global email server. Most of the providers in my area have gone out of business, and they tend to be expensive, but could be a good option depending on what features they offer. Some of these companies can advise you on ways to set up your own email server at home, but that is a lot of work.

New AI from DeepMind and Google can detect a common cause of blindness – The Next Web

May 25, 2020 | Author: admin

DeepMind and Google Healthhavedeveloped an AI that can predict wholl get one of the worlds most common causes of blindness.

The system was built to detect age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a disease that afflicts more than 25% of over-60s in Europeand up to 11 million people in the US.

There are two types of the disease: a dry form, which often only causes mild sight loss, and a wet one, which can lead to permanent blindness.

[Read:This AI detects eye disease in newborn babies]

Currently, Ophthalmologists diagnose AMD by analyzing 3D scans of the eye. But these highly detailed images are time-consuming to review.DeepMinds researchers suspected that AI could more quickly detect the symptoms of patients needing urgent treatment which could ultimately save their sight.

The teamtrained their model onan anonymized datasetof retinal scansfrom 2,795 patients who had been diagnosed with wet AMD.

They then used two neural networks to detect the disease by analyzing 3D eye scans and labeling features that offered clues about the diseases. The system uses this data to estimate whether the patient would develop wet ADM within the next six months.

DeepMind claims that the system predicted the onset of wet AMD as well as human experts and in some cases was even more accurate.

Pearse Keane, an ophthalmologist who worked on the project, said the system could act as an early warning sign for the disease:

With this work, we havent solved AMD but I think weve just added another big piece of the puzzle.

The next step is validating the algorithm so it can be used in clinical trials. In time, it could even help doctorsdevelop treatments for the disease.
