[] IBM Designs New 3D Chip Platform to Fit 100 Billion Transistors. Can we fit one hundred billion transistors on a single computer chip? IBM says yes. As transistors get close to the size of single atoms, it is harder to make them smaller. To solve this, IBM is stacking transistors vertically. This new design is called NanoStack. By stacking them, signals do not have to travel as far on the chip. This yields massive improvements in performance without additional cost of power or heat. However, stacking chips can make it hard to extract (提取，排出) heat. If chips get too hot, they can bend and fail. IBM is working with ASML at its Albany R&D lab to refine this process. They hope this platform will work for multiple chip generations in the future.
IBM设计全新3D芯片平台以容纳千亿晶体管。我们能在单个电脑芯片上容纳一千亿个晶体管吗？IBM 表示可以。随着晶体管越来越接近单个原子的尺寸，把它们做得更小变得越来越困难。为了解决这个问题，IBM 正在垂直堆叠晶体管。这种新设计被称为 NanoStack。通过堆叠晶体管，信号在芯片上不需要传输那么远。这在不增加额外功耗或发热的情况下，带来了性能的巨大提升。然而，堆叠芯片会使散热变得困难。如果芯片过热，它们可能会弯曲并失效。IBM 正在其阿尔巴尼研发实验室与 ASML 合作完善这一工艺。他们希望这个平台能在未来适用于多代芯片。

[] Ford Rehires Human Engineers After Automated AI Quality Checks Fail. AI is a great tool, but it cannot replace human experience yet. Ford recently rehired over three hundred veteran (经验丰富的，资深的；老兵) quality inspectors to fix the pitfalls (陷阱，隐患) of the automated system. The carmaker had deployed nine hundred AI cameras in its plants to catch defects. But the company admitted that the AI checks failed to live up to expectations. Ford executives realized they made a mistake. They thought that just using AI and giving it design requirements would produce high-quality cars. However, the automated tools lacked the training and expertise of human workers. Now, these veteran engineers are back. They will help train the AI tools and mentor (指导，辅导) younger workers. Thanks to this talent refresh, Ford's vehicle quality ranking has returned to the top of its class.
AI质量检测未达预期，福特重新雇佣人类工程师。AI 是个很棒的工具，但它目前还无法取代人类的经验。福特最近重新雇佣了三百多名资深质量检测员，以弥补自动化系统的缺陷。这家汽车制造商在工厂里部署了九百台 AI 相机来发现缺陷。但该公司承认，AI 的检测未能达到预期。福特高管意识到他们犯了一个错误。他们以为只要使用 AI 并输入设计要求，就能生产出高质量的汽车。然而，自动化工具缺乏人类工人的培训和专业知识。现在，这些资深工程师回来了。他们将帮助培训 AI 工具并指导年轻工人。多亏了这次人才更新，福特的汽车质量排名重新回到了同类榜首。

[] NASA Webb Telescope Captures Detailed Image of Cigar Galaxy Stars. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a beautiful new image of the Cigar galaxy. This huge image shows about sixteen million stars in detail. The Cigar galaxy is twelve million light-years away from Earth. It is a very active place. Stars are forming there ten times faster than in our own Milky Way galaxy. Scientists believe that a galaxy merger in the past triggered this rapid star formation. Galaxies are such intricate (错综复杂的) ecosystems that scientists must combine data from different telescopes to fully understand them. In the past, the Hubble telescope captured the dust and gas in the galaxy. Now, Webb can show the staggering (令人吃惊的，惊人的) density of the stars.
NASA韦伯望远镜捕获雪茄星系细致恒星图像。NASA 的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜捕获了雪茄星系一张美丽的新图像。张巨大的图像详细展示了大约一千六百万颗恒星。雪茄星系距离地球一千二百万光年。这是一个非常活跃的地方。那里形成恒星的速度比我们自己的银河系快十倍。科学家认为，过去的星系合并触发了这一快速的恒星形成。星系是如此错综复杂的生态系统，以至于科学家必须结合来自不同望远镜的数据才能完全理解它们。过去，哈勃望远镜捕获了该星系中的尘埃和气体。现在，韦伯可以展示出恒星那令人吃惊的极高密度。

[] How Creators of TV Show 'From' Plan to Write a Satisfying Ending. Ending a popular TV show is very hard, especially when the show is full of mysteries. The creators of the horror show From are now working on its final season. They want to make sure the ending is satisfying for the audience. The showrunner has worked on other complicated shows like Lost. He says that the team has known the final destination since the first episode. This helps them stay on track even when they take a short detour (绕道，偏离). However, they also change the story based on feedback from fans and actors. The writers argue that a great finale should not just answer unresolved questions. The main goal is to make viewers care about the characters. They want the ending to feel surprising and inevitable (不可避免的，必然的) at the same time.
美剧《来自》创作者分享如何撰写满意的结局。结束一部受欢迎的电视剧非常困难，尤其是当这部剧充满谜团时。恐怖剧集《来自》的创作者们目前正在制作最后一季。他们希望确保结局能让观众满意。这位制片人曾参与过像《迷失》这样复杂的剧集。他说团队从第一集开始就知道最终的终点。这帮助他们即使在进行短暂的剧情偏离时也能保持在轨道上。然而，他们也会根据粉丝和演员的反馈来改变故事。编剧们认为，一个伟大的结局不应该只是回答未解决的问题。主要目标是让观众关心角色。他们希望结局能同时让人感到意外和必然。
