IPv6 usage reaches historic 50% across Google services, matching IPv4 — increased usage eases pressure on the IPv4 address market as 'new' protocol designed in 1998 finally hits its stride

IPv6 usage reaches historic 50% across Google services, matching IPv4 — increased usage eases pressure on the IPv4 address market as 'new' protocol designed in 1998 finally hits its stride

IPv6 usage has reached a historic 50% across Google services, matching IPv4, which eases pressure on the IPv4 address market. The IPv6 protocol, designed in 1998, has finally gained significant traction, with 43% of the world using it. The exhaustion of IPv4 addresses due to the rapid growth of internet-connected devices has led to increased adoption of IPv6. Despite some technical misconceptions, IPv6 offers benefits like faster connectivity and simplified networking.

Researchers build Wi-Fi chip that can operate inside a nuclear reactor — receiver uses special materials and design to withstand high doses of radiation for at least six months

Researchers build Wi-Fi chip that can operate inside a nuclear reactor — receiver uses special materials and design to withstand high doses of radiation for at least six months

Researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a Wi-Fi chip designed to operate inside nuclear reactors, capable of withstanding high doses of radiation for at least six months. This chip is crucial for enabling robots to work in contaminated areas for reactor decommissioning, addressing the limitations of traditional silicon-based semiconductors that are vulnerable to nuclear radiation interference. By reducing the number of transistors and using specific materials like inductors, the chip can endure radiation levels equivalent to 500,000 grays over six months. The team is also working on a radiation-resistant Wi-Fi transmitter to complement the receiver's capabilities in hostile environments.
