Credit: Light: Science & Applications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41377-024-01376-7 In recent years, artificial intelligence technologies, especially machine learning algorithms, have made great strides. These technologies have enabled unprecedented efficiency in tasks such as image recognition, natural language generation and processing, and object detection, but such outstanding functionality requires substantial computational power as a foundation. Current computational […]
Researchers developed a 3D full-color display method that uses a smartphone screen, rather than a laser, to create holographic images. Shown are their experimental results, in which a continuous transition from the first layer to the second layer is observable.

Professor M. Lisa Manning, left, was a co-author. Credit: Syracuse University Erin McCarthy ’23, physics summa cum laude, is a rarity among young scientists. As an […]
The distributor will be exclusively releasing the modular system, designed to build real-time, remote hardware systems, in a fast and efficient manner. Prism4 supports systems with cameras, modular lights and evaluation boards and the platform includes a set of Phase Dock workbench bases, where devices can be interactively attached using clicks and slides. Basically, Prism4 […]
March 22, 2024 — Intel CEO Kissinger said in a recent interview that more than 80% of current chips are manufactured in Asia, and Intel’s goal is that by the end of this decade, at least 50% of the world’s advanced semiconductors will be produced in the United States and Europe. Kissinger said that chips […]
