Machine learning at speed
Inserting lightweight optimization code in high-speed network devices has enabled a KAUST-led collaboration to increase the speed of machine learning on parallelized computing systems five-fold. This “in-network aggregation” technology, developed…
Challenging the design of electrovibrations to generate a more realistic feel
A user should feel realistic haptic feedback on a touchscreen embedded with electrovibration technology. Unfortunately, not even the most advanced touchscreen devices provide a realistic user experience – all images…
NIST demo adds key capability to atom-based radio communications
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and collaborators have demonstrated an atom-based sensor that can determine the direction of an incoming radio signal, another key part…
Quick, easy access to machine data
Data is the currency of the future. But how can companies access the immense quantities of data generated by their machinery and use it to modernize production? Researchers at the…
Better protection for pedestrians
At busy transport hubs where cars mix with cyclists, buses, and streetcars, it can be impossible for drivers to keep track of everything around them. A radar sensor system could…
How AI beats spreadsheets in modelling future volumes for city waste management
Growing cities tend to run out of land for waste management and new landfill sites. Artificial Intelligence can help city managers create more powerful long-term forecasts of solid waste volumes…
Precise and fast …
How mathematical methods from nonlinear algebra ensure an effective handling of huge amounts of data. The constant creation of information and its corresponding data are one of the hallmarks of…
Novel thermometer can accelerate quantum computer development
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, have developed a novel type of thermometer that can simply and quickly measure temperatures during quantum calculations with extremely high accuracy. The…
5G Networks, Disaster Prevention, Agriculture
… high-altitude pseudo-satellites in Action A flight planning system to ensure nationwide coverage with information from high altitudes. High Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS) are unmanned aerial vehicles that fly in…
Scientists take step towards quantum supremacy
A Russian-German research team has created a quantum sensor that grants access to measurement and manipulation of individual two-level defects in qubits. The study by NUST MISIS, Russian Quantum Center…
