Machine learning used to predict earthquakes in a lab setting

“A group of researchers from the UK and the US have used machine learning techniques to successfully predict earthquakes. Although their work was performed in a laboratory setting, the experiment closely mimics real-life conditions, and the results could be used …

mbed OS 5.6.3 released

“We are pleased to announce the mbed OS 5.6.3 release is now available. This is the latest patch release based on the feature set introduced by Mbed-OS-5.6 Summary This patch release includes new target support …

MIT students fortify concrete by adding recycled plastic

“Adding bits of irradiated plastic water bottles could cut cement industry’s carbon emissions. Discarded plastic bottles could one day be used to build stronger, more flexible concrete structures, from sidewalks and street barriers, to buildings and bridges, according to …

Research team led by NUS scientists breaks new ground in memory technology

“Novel organic thin film significantly outperforms existing flash memory devices An international research team led by scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) pioneered the development of a novel thin, organic film that supports a million more times read-write …

Resistive memory components the computer industry can’t resist

“Make way for some new memsistors. For years, the computer industry has sought memory technologies with higher endurance, lower cost, and better energy efficiency than commercial flash memories. Now, an international collaboration of scientists may have solved many of those …

UChicago chemists introduce novel method to separate isotopes

“Separating different versions of elements—isotopes—is an excruciatingly difficult task: They differ by just one or two extra neutrons, an infinitesimal difference in mass. But University of Chicago researchers announced Oct. 23 that they’ve added an entirely new …

Universe shouldn’t exist, CERN physicists conclude

“One of the great mysteries of modern physics is why antimatter did not destroy the universe at the beginning of time. To explain it, physicists suppose there must be some difference between matter and antimatter – apart from electric charge. Whatever …

Editable Parametric Dense Foliage from 3D Capture

“We present an algorithm to compute parametric models of dense foliage. The guiding principles of our work are automatic reconstruction and compact artist friendly representation. We use Bézier patches to model leaf surface, which we compute from images and point …

“Lighten Up” - Deep Space Communications via Faraway Photons

“A spacecraft destined to explore a unique asteroid will also test new communication hardware that uses lasers instead of radio waves. The Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) package aboard NASA’s Psyche mission utilizes photons — the fundamental particle of visible …

NXP’s i.MX RT Crossover Processor Sets Highest Microcontroller Real-Time Benchmark Performance Yet

“NXP Semiconductors N.V.(NASDAQ:NXPI) presents the i.MX RT series, a crossover solution that bridges the gap between high performance and integration while minimizing costs. As the need for smarter and more ‘aware’ edge computing grows and becomes …
