A chip for environmental and health monitoring

“In a joint German-Israeli research project, FAU scientists are developing miniaturised sensor systems that can be produced on an industrial scale Sensors for incorporation in inexpensive measuring devices or virtual personal support systems are increasingly in demand in the environmental …

Building 3-D models of molecules with RealityConvert

“Denis Fourches wants to make the search for new drugs faster and less expensive. So he uses powerful computers to help model interactions between chemical compounds and biological targets to predict the compound’s effectiveness, thus narrowing the field of …

Carnegie Mellon Reveals Inner Workings of Victorious AI

“Libratus, an artificial intelligence that defeated four top professional poker players in no-limit Texas Hold’em earlier this year, uses a three-pronged approach to master a game with more decision points than atoms in the universe, researchers at Carnegie Mellon …

Computer systems predict objects’ responses to physical forces

“Josh Tenenbaum, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at MIT, directs research on the development of intelligence at the Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines, a multiuniversity, multidisciplinary project based at MIT that seeks to explain and replicate human …

Error-free into the Quantum Computer Age

“A study led by physicists at Swansea University in Wales, carried out by an international team of researchers and published in the journal Physical Review X shows that ion-trap technologies available today are suitable for building large-scale quantum computers. The …

Hyperlens crystal capable of viewing living cells in unprecedented detail

“Just imagine: An optical lens so powerful that it lets you view features the size of a small virus on the surface of a living cell in its natural environment. Construction of instruments with this capability is now possible because …

Intel Unveils Industry’s First FPGA Integrated with High Bandwidth Memory Built for Acceleration

“Intel today announced the availability of the Intel® Stratix® 10 MX FPGA, the industry’s first field programmable gate array (FPGA) with integrated High Bandwidth Memory DRAM (HBM2). By integrating the FPGA and the HBM2, Intel Stratix 10 MX FPGAs …

‘Quantum material’ has shark-like ability to detect small electrical signals

“A “quantum material” that mimics a shark’s ability to detect the minute electric fields of small prey has been shown to perform well in ocean-like conditions, with potential applications from defense to marine biology. The material maintains its functional …

The Great AI Paradox

“Don’t worry about supersmart AI eliminating all the jobs. That’s just a distraction from the problems even relatively dumb computers are causing. You’ve probably heard versions of each of the following ideas. 1. With computers becoming remarkably …

Two Holograms in One Surface

“A team at Caltech has figured out a way to encode more than one holographic image in a single surface without any loss of resolution. The engineering feat overturns a long-held assumption that a single surface could only project a …
