Chaos Theory Strengthens Digital Locks

“Using the principles of chaos theory, researchers from Kyoto University have definitively demonstrated the strength of a 128-bit digital lock for cybersecurity applications. Their findings are published in the journal Nonlinear Theory and Its Applications. How do we know if …

Conductivity key to mapping water inside Earth

“Hydrogen at elevated temperature creates high electrical conductivity in the Earth’s mantle. New work by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists shows the dispersal of water (incorporated as hydrogen in olivine, the most abundant mineral in the upper mantle …

Designing a 4D camera for robots

“Stanford engineers have developed a 4D camera with an extra-wide field of view. They believe this camera can be better than current options for close-up robotic vision and augmented reality. A new camera that builds on technology first described by …

MaterialX

“MaterialX is an open standard for transfer of rich material and look-development content between applications and renderers. Originated at Lucasfilm in 2012, MaterialX has been used by Industrial Light & Magic in feature films such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens …

NUS engineers achieve significant breakthrough in spin wave based information processing technology

“Novel method of propagating spin waves could pave the way for high speed, miniaturised data processing devices. Conventional electronic devices make use of semiconductor circuits and they transmit information by electric charges. However, such devices are being pushed to their …

Physicists observe individual atomic collisions during diffusion for the first time

“In the world of research, diffusion is understood as a process in which tiny particles disperse uniformly throughout a gas or liquid. Although these media are made up of individual particles, diffusion is perceived as a continuous process. So far …

Pinpointing sources of water pollution with a robotic eel

“Researchers from EPFL, together with other institutes, have developed a robotic eel that swims through contaminated water to find the source of the pollution. The sensor-equipped robot can be controlled remotely or move on its own. In tests carried out …

Scientists Design Solar Cell that Captures Nearly All Energy of Solar Spectrum

“Scientists have designed and constructed a prototype for a new solar cell that integrates multiple cells stacked into a single device capable of capturing nearly all of the energy in the solar spectrum. The new design converts direct sunlight to …

Second version of HoloLens HPU will incorporate AI coprocessor for implementing DNNs

“It is not an exaggeration to say that deep learning has taken the world of computer vision, and many other recognition tasks, by storm. Many of the most difficult recognition problems have seen gains over the past few years that …
