Tiny batteries could simultaneously power and cool chips
Researchers designed a proof of concept battery that’s just 1.5mm thick and which generates 1.4 watts of power per square centimeter of surface space (or about 1 watt per square centimeter when you account for the power it takes to keep the liquid pumping).

Intel launches its first Optane SSD with 3D XPoint memory
It’s called the Intel Optane P4800X, and it’s a solid state drive designed for enterprise applications. It’s also got an enterprise price tag: the first version to ship will be a 375GB SSD that sells for $1520.
What makes 3D XPoint interesting is that it offers read and write speeds that rival what you’d expect from DRAM memory. But unlike DRAM, you can use 3D XPoint for long-term storage, since it’s non-volatile memory.
