Distributions of the anomaly score from the AE for data and five benchmark BSM models. Credit: Physical Review Letters (2024). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.081801 Scientists used a neural network, a type of brain-inspired machine learning algorithm, to sift through large volumes of particle collision data. Particle physicists are tasked with mining this massive and growing store of […]
a. Schematics of a conventional spectroscopic ellipsometry system. b, Schematics of a metasurface array-based single-shot spectroscopic ellipsometry system. Credit: Light: Science & Applications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41377-024-01396-3 Spectroscopic ellipsometry is widely adopted in semiconductor processing, such as in the manufacturing of integrated circuits, flat display panels, and solar cells. However, a conventional spectroscopic ellipsometer, as shown […]
Here’s how you can add location tracking, without GPS, to the project for a smartwatch-like HID with keyboard and touchpad, which was published in March issue. Traditional GPS-based systems have limitations, especially indoors or in areas where signals are too weak or difficult to get due to obstructions. This is a novel approach to location […]
Key Things to Know: Neuralink’s Breakthrough: Demonstrated the use of a brain-chip implant enabling a paralysed man to control a computer cursor with his thoughts, marking a significant milestone in neural engineering and medical science. Engineering Challenges: Medical implants face numerous challenges, including ensuring safety, efficacy, biocompatibility, and ethical considerations, all of which are crucial […]
Key Things to Know: Space-based communication, crucial for over 50 years, faces challenges such as signal delays, reduced bandwidth, and environmental interferences. SEN.COM, a UK-based firm, is set to demonstrate its advanced 4K video streaming technology from the International Space Station (ISS), aiming to provide unprecedented views of Earth and space. The technology developed by […]
Image depicting the control of polariton particles using electric-field tip-enhanced strong coupling spectroscopy. Credit: POSTECH A research team has pioneered an innovative technique in ultra-high-resolution spectroscopy. Their breakthrough marks the world’s first instance of electrically controlling polaritons—hybridized light-matter particles—at room temperature. The research has been published in Physical Review Letters. Polaritons are “half-light half-matter” hybrid […]
Between 2023 and 2029, Yole expects the AR microdisplay market to grow at a faster pace (67% CAGR ) than VR (15%) with AR seen as the ultimate consumer market and VR serving as a pathway for credibility and app development. Meta, Apple, Huawei, Samsung and Sony are all into AR, VR, and MR (Mixed […]
