Artificial intelligence for stable processes in industry

“Bottle jams on the conveyor belt or overheated machines – such interruptions to production cost a lot of time and money. ETH spin-​off Cerrion detects and analyses problems in the process automatically and in real time. The example of a …

Bayreuth researchers develop new method for the technological use of 2D nanomaterials

“Nanosheets are finely structured two-dimensional materials and have great potential for innovation. They are fixed on top of each other in layered crystals, and must first be separated from each other so that they can be used, for example, to …

Building the processors of the future

“EU invests 11 million euros in TU/e-led project to build artificial intelligence at the edge. The corona pandemic and the war in Ukraine have shown that self-sufficiency in the production of semiconductors and computer chips is very much a …

Computer learns to write captions with feeling

“Teaching AI to capture the full spectrum of human emotions when annotating artwork. Giving artificial intelligence (AI) a more balanced perspective of artwork during training can reduce emotional bias in computer-generated captions. Despite incredible advances in AI, it remains a …

Detecting new particles around black holes with gravitational waves

“Clouds of ultralight particles can form around rotating black holes. A team of physicists from the University of Amsterdam and Harvard University now show that these clouds would leave a characteristic imprint on the gravitational waves emitted by binary black …

Direct sound printing is a potential game-changer in 3D printing, according to Concordia researchers

“The new platform technology uses ultrasound waves to create complex and precise objects Most 3D printing methods currently in use rely either on photo (light)- or thermo (heat)-activated reactions to achieve precise manipulation of polymers. The development of a …

Discovery of new mechanisms to control the flow of sound

“Using a network of vibrating nano-strings controlled with light, researchers from AMOLF have made sound waves move in a specific irreversible direction and attenuated or amplified the waves in a controlled manner for the first time. This gives rise to …

Electrolyte Additive Offers Lithium Battery Performance Breakthrough

“Additive leads to protective surface layer for nickel-rich cathodes, improving battery performance at high voltages. A team of researchers led by chemists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has learned that an electrolyte additive …

Error-Free Quan­tum Com­put­ing Gets Real

“For quantum computers to be useful in practice, errors must be detected and corrected. At the University of Innsbruck, Austria, a team of experimental physicists has now implemented a universal set of computational operations on fault-tolerant quantum bits for the …

Flexible Electronics and Sensors: Researchers Develop Improved Method for Copper Micropattern Printing

“Scientists from ITMO University and the Institute of Chemistry of St. Petersburg State University have developed a more affordable and efficient method that makes printing copper micropatterns on a glass surface 100 times faster. The resulting micropatterns can be used …
