Microplastics have now been found inside most prostate cancer tumors — and at strikingly higher levels than in healthy tissue. A new study reports that tiny plastic particles were present in nine out of 10 men diagnosed with prostate cancer. Researchers also found that these fragments appeared in gr...

From the creators of the Raspberry-Pi, lowRISC is an open-source SoC based on the 64-bit RISC-V architecture developed at UC Berkeley. They are apparently planning to fab the chips and release development boards.

As background, the lowRISC project aims to produce a fully open-source SoC using the RISC-V instruction set architecture and bring it to volume production. We've just released this document to describe in more detail our plans for tagged memory (not exactly the rebirth of the LISP machine, but has u...

* Broadband Radio Service (BRS) * Educational Broadband Service (EBS) --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_frequency_bands * LTE FDD Band 7 (2500 – 2570 2620 – 2690) * LTE TDD Band 38 (2570 – 2620) * LTE TDD Band 41 (2496 – 2690)

For background on lowRISC, our goal is to produce a fully open-source System-on-Chip in volume, using the RISC-V instruction set architecture. See our [about page](http://www.lowrisc.org/about/) for more details. Feel free to ask questions in the comments.

I discovered [Project IceStorm](http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/) while searching for FOSS FPGA toolchains. Clifford Wolf and Mathias Lasser worked to reverse-engineer the "iCE40" FPGA stick. The device itself is small, simple, and cheap, which made reverse-engineering it more feasible. Unfortunatel...
