NVIDIA Unveils the GTX TITAN FALL
NVIDIA has revealed its next iteration of the GTX TITAN series, the GTX TITAN FALL, engineered specifically for Respawn Entertainment's hit first-person shooter, Titanfall. The announcement comes two weeks after confirming GameWorks features would be coming to the game, and a week after unveiling the GTX TITAN Z.
What sets the GTX TITAN FALL apart from any other video card ever created is that its sole purpose is to run Titanfall and no other game. NVIDIA worked closely with Respawn to deeply integrate with the game, saying that "by focusing solely on Titanfall, we were able to achieve extraordinary results that would have never been possible if we had to account for every other game out there." The extraordinary results NVIDIA refers to is the ability to maintain a buttery smooth 120 FPS at 4K resolution with all settings maxed (including the upcoming TXAA and HBAO+)!
The GTX TITAN FALL will retail for $499 (half the price of a GTX TITAN Z) and include a copy of Titanfall (via an Origin key). A limited edition version will retail for $599 and include hand-painted figurines of Titanfall's three titans, which can be mounted (one at a time) onto the PCB of the GTX TITAN FALL, as seen in the images below. This is an amazing deal if you have a 4K monitor and all you plan on ever playing is Titanfall!

Using Silk as Resists in Nanofabrication
To produce the electronics we use every day requires specialized nanofabrication processes to etch the correct structures into a material. Among the steps involved is developing materials called resists, and this requires toxic chemicals. Researchers at Tufts University may be changing that in the future though, as they have found that silk can be used as resists, and that water can develop it.
The fabrication process starts with a substrate that a resist is applied to, and currently that resist is a special polymer. Next a beam, either of light or an electron beam is used to place a pattern on the resist. The resist must then be developed, which may remove the patterned areas or keep them, depending on the situation, and this development requires toxic chemicals. If silk is used as a resist though, then only water is needed to develop it.
By replacing the toxic chemical with water, semiconductor and other nanofabrication complexes can reduce the amount of toxic waste they produce. This is definitely a benefit to those who work in clean rooms and the environments around them.

Jagex Releases the First Official Transformers Universe Gameplay Trailer
Although we have had glimpses of gameplay in the warrior-reveal trailers released over the past few weeks (Meltdown & Duststorm and Front-Line & Conduit), Jagex has decided to release a more encompassing Gameplay Trailer for Transformers Universe. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to show all that much more than the previous videos. It still looks like a third-person shooter, although Jagex calls it a massively online tactical action (MOTA) game. Maybe it has elements of MOBAs? Your guess is as good as mine.
