Originally a super-fancy form of upscaling, “DLSS” has become gamer shorthand for a host of allegedly AI-powered graphics tricks exclusive to Nvidia’s graphics cards. In the PCWorld lab, Will Smith has been breaking down some of the different ways that upscaling and other AI tricks work in the latest version of Nvidia’s drivers and comparing how they perform on different cards. Also, a wild Brad Chacos appears! Will and Brad show that while it’s easy to compare some of this tech if you’re watching frame-by-frame and zooming in for the finest details—especially on games that have a dedicated benchmark tool—it…

Should the Brics grouping of emerging economies create a new currency, Trump has tweeted, or “back any other currency to replace the mighty US dollar”, they will face 100 per cent tariffs.The chairman of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers, Stephen Miran, disagrees. On Apr 7, he told the Hudson Institute that the global use of the dollar has “caused persistent currency distortions and contributed, along with other countries’ unfair barriers to trade, to unsustainable trade deficits”.Miran is not the only Maga…
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot have created a new composite plastic that degrades easily using bacteria that is cheap, strong and simple to prepare. Seeking to create a composite plastic that would meet the needs of industry while also being environmentally friendly, the researchers decided to focus on commonplace, inexpensive source materials whose properties could be improved. They found that molecules of tyrosine – a prevalent amino acid that forms exceptionally strong nanocrystals – could be used as an effective component in a biodegradable composite plastic. And after examining how tyrosine combines with several types of…
