"The kitchen sink of the atomic world": Affordable material could pay crucial role in reducing AI energy use by a factor of 90 — memristors may help current AI system mimic biological neural networks function
Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a memristor with a tunable relaxation time, potentially leading to more efficient artificial neural networks capable of time-dependent information processing.Published in Nature Electronics, the study highlights the potential of memristors, electronic components that function as memory devices and can retain their resistance state even when the power is turned off. Memristors work by mimicking key aspects of the way artificial and biological neural networks function without external memory. This property could significantly reduce energy needs in AI, which is important as the technology’s electricity consumption is projected to rise significantly in the coming...

To the editor: Warehouse legislation about protecting workers
The editorial from the Detroit News (“Protect warehouse workers from union coercion,” Tuesday) was a perfect example of the misinformation and false assertions that are leveled against organized labor anytime legislation is introduced that benefits workers and attempts to hold Big Business accountable. The Warehouse Worker Protection Act, or WWPA, is not about coercing workers to join unions; it is about reining in abusive and arbitrary production quotas that warehousing industry employers are spreading across the industry. It is also about transparency and accountability in the workplace so that workers’ health and safety aren’t sacrificed on the altar of company...

Lovers of tennis, squash, pickleball and more trust this Detroit shop
It has been said that tennis is “a game of inches.”. But for native Detroiter Michael Banks, it really was a game of a couple feet — give or take. Banks’ business, Professional Racquet Services, has been a fixture on Detroit’s Livernois Avenue of Fashion for nearly 40 years. But to understand how Banks’ love affair with tennis began requires a trip back in time, during a period when a former east-side Detroit high school needed a few good men to start a new sports team.
