A team from Universitat Politècnica de València and iPRONICS has developed the world’s first programmable and multifunctional photonic chip, enhancing data flow management in telecommunications and AI systems. (Artist’s concept). Credit: SciTechDaily.com A collaborative team…

Artist impression of new nanostrings that can vibrate for a very long time. These nanostrings vibrate more than 100,000 times per second. Because it’s difficult for energy to leak out, it also means environmental noise…

The thinnest lens on Earth, made of concentric rings of tungsten disulphide (WS2), uses excitons to efficiently focus light. The lens is as thick as a single layer of WS2, just three atoms thick. The…

NASA’s X-59, seen in this illustration, is designed to fly faster than sound but generate quieter sonic “thumps” rather than booms. To test the public’s perception of this noise, part of the Quesst plan includes…

Stanford’s Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute has developed an AI model called a topographic deep artificial neural network (TDANN) that mimics the brain’s organization of visual information. This model, which uses naturalistic inputs and spatial constraints,…
