It achieves resolution better than 40cm from 2.1km altitude using around two photons per pixel, in the face of 10,000 daylight noise photons per pixel. Created by the University of Science and Technology of China, the lidar combines three 150mA 1.55μm lasers shining 1ns pulses onto the ground through their own telescopes. Reflections are directed […]
Image source: Ambiq Key Takeaways about Battery Powered AI devices: Battery-powered devices are adopting artificial intelligence (AI) for improved performance. AI devices operating at the edge must be power-stingy. Devices that exploit this trend will come with varied subsystems and capabilities, but all must include comprehensive security features. As technology progresses, the imperative to integrate AI into battery-powered […]
Josephson junctions incorporating domain walls in minimally twisted bilayers. Credit: Julien Barrier et al In a significant development in the field of superconductivity, researchers at The University of Manchester have successfully achieved robust superconductivity in high magnetic fields using a newly created one-dimensional (1D) system. This breakthrough offers a promising pathway to achieving superconductivity in […]
Transform-limited photon emission and high temperature operation make PbV centers suitable building blocks for scalable quantum networks. Credit: Tokyo Tech Much like how electric circuits use components to control electronic signals, quantum networks rely on special components and nodes to transfer quantum information between different points, forming the foundation for building quantum systems. In the […]
Hyperspectral imaging is the most comprehensive of the three common image processing technologies. The other two technologies are red-green-blue (RGB) imaging and multispectral imaging. All three are noninvasive and nondestructive and give engineers and scientists different ways to analyze objects. RGB imaging can be quick and inexpensive to implement and provides basic information about an […]
“Research progress on p-type amorphous semiconductors has been notably sluggish,” according to the Pohang University of Science and Technology (PosTech). “Despite the widespread adoption of n-type amorphous oxide semiconductors, particularly those based on IGZO [indium gallium zinc oxide] in OLED displays and memory devices, the advancement of p-type oxide materials has been impeded by numerous […]
Resolution is as fine as individual telegraph poles. “This technology allows for accurate disaster prediction by building a model that learns disaster patterns from facility data that the NTT Group has inspected and repaired [after] past disasters,” according to the company. “In addition, it can be predicted from publicly available data throughout Japan, making it […]
The automotive sector is expected to expand at an annual rate of 9%, from its 2023 value of $8.2 billion, it is forecasted to reach $13.5 billion by 2029. The industrial sector, worth $6 billion in 2023, is projected to experience 2% CAGR to reach $6.8 billion by 2029. The defence, security and aerospace sector […]
The company reported a net loss of $400 million compared with a net loss of $2.8 billion in Q1 2023. “We are making steady progress against our priorities and delivered a solid quarter,” said CEO Pat Gelsinger (pictured) “strong innovation across our client, edge and data center portfolios drove double-digit revenue growth in Intel Products.
