  Imagine a world where you can talk to your pet. Find out what he feels, what he thinks, what he wants. This will be possible thanks to neural networks. In the next three years, scientists plan to create an AI that will understand the language of animals. AI will learn from huge databases containing the sounds and body language of various animals. Having learned to understand these signals, the AI ​​will be able to "translate" them into human language.

  Chinese scientists presented a 200 terabyte DVD Imagine: all your music, movies, games, photos and documents on one tiny drive. This became possible thanks to the development of Chinese scientists who created an optical disk with a capacity of 200 terabytes. The secret is in the multilayer structure: the disk consists of 100 optical layers, each of which can store information. In comparison, a regular DVD has only one layer.
