The computer model, developed under the lead management of researchers at TU Graz, simulates the cyclical changes in the membrane potential of a cancer cell using the example of human lung adenocarcinoma and opens up…
New depth sensors could be sensitive enough for self-driving cars
Computational method improves the resolution of time-of-flight depth sensors 1,000-fold. [caption id="attachment_13989" align="alignnone" width="639"] Comparing of the cascaded GHz approach with Kinect-style approaches visually represented on a key. From left to right, the original image,…
Reading a neural network’s mind
Technique illuminates the inner workings of artificial-intelligence systems that process language. [caption id="attachment_13867" align="alignnone" width="639"] Neural nets are so named because they roughly approximate the structure of the human brain. Typically, they’re arranged into layers,…
Controlling spin for memory storage
Using computer simulations, researchers are learning how lasers might be used to switch how electrons spin within magnetic materials, making room for faster magnetic memory devices. [caption id="attachment_13854" align="alignright" width="300"] By applying light, the parallel…
Optoelectronics origami: An easy-to-make, double-duty curved image sensor
[caption id="attachment_13716" align="alignnone" width="775"] A concave version of the digital image sensor (left) bends inward for creating a hemispherical focal plane array. A convex version (right) bends like a soccer ball for mimicking an insect’s…
