NASA's Mars helicopter has made history by becoming the first aircraft to demonstrate controlled, powered flight on another planet.
Weighing a mere 4 pounds and standing just 19 inches high, the diminutive Ingenuity helicopter took off from the Martian surface early on Monday, April 19, with NASA receiving data confirming the flight shortly after 3.50 a.m. ET.
Choppy video data captured by the Perseverance rover and beamed nearly 180 million miles back to Earth showed Ingenuity in flight. If it stuck to its flight plan, the drone-like aircraft will have hovered three meters above the ground for about 30 seconds before landing again.
Check out our full article to see the moment the data confirming the flight came through to the mission team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. Hint: They were excited. |

Chinese memory manufacturer Netac received its first batch of DDR5 modules from Micron, and is currently overclocking them to hit an impossibly fast speed: 10,000MHz. Most DDR4 modules hit the 3,200MHz mark, while high-end DDR4 kits can climb above 6,000MHz. Still, that's just over half the speed Netac is aiming for.
You probably shouldn't expect to see 10,000MHz RAM on the shelf anytime soon (if at all), but the stunt provides a look into how fast DDR5 can be once it arrives in consumer machines.
DDR5 alone should offer a big boost to consumer machines, and it's closer than you may think. Leaks suggest AMD is introducing DDR5 to its desktop platform as soon as 2022, and Intel is bringing the new generation to desktops this year. |

If the chatter I'm seeing online is any indication, lots of folks have questions about Samsung's Neo QLED TVs. Well, I'm pleased to say I have answers. AND some opinions to go with them.
Let's take a look at the QN65QN90A Neo QLED TV, a set armed with thousands of mini-LED backlights and nearly 800 zones of local dimming — that's TV speak for "sounds pretty awesome."
But does it look awesome? Let's find out. |
