Protection against cyberattacks Ports are critical infrastructures since disruptions and stoppages can have immense not only economic impacts. The potential security risks are multifarious, especially in digitalized container terminal operations, which are steadily gaining importance through Industrie 4.0. A new method and tool set developed by research scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation IFF and its industry partners enables preventive defense against attacks on automated cyber-physical systems and helps increase security along the entire supply chain,…
Carnegie Mellon system uses social media posts to assess building damage It wasn’t long after Hurricane Laura hit the Gulf Coast Thursday that people began flying drones to record the damage and posting videos on social media. Those videos are a precious resource, say researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, who are working on ways to use them for rapid damage assessment. By using artificial intelligence, the researchers are developing a system that can automatically identify buildings and make an initial…
Project “KItatta” launched In Germany, more than 9,000 corneal transplantations are performed annually. Despite strict quality criteria, about 4-5% of the transplants show postoperative wart-like changes that impair the cornea’s functionality. So far, it cannot be excluded with certainty whether and to what extent the so-called guttae are present. This can lead to the transplantation of pathologically changed corneas. In a joint project, the Saarland University Clinic for Ophthalmology and DFKI want to develop a method to better assess the…
Researchers create portable lab-on-a-chip that could detect many contaminants. Rutgers researchers have created a miniature device for measuring trace levels of toxic lead in sediments at the bottom of harbors, rivers and other waterways within minutes – far faster than currently available laboratory-based tests, which take days. The affordable lab-on-a-chip device could also allow municipalities, water companies, universities, K-12 schools, daycares and homeowners to easily and swiftly test their water supplies. The research is published in the IEEE Sensors Journal….
Researchers at Mainz University were able to show that information can be stored in antiferromagnetic materials and to measure the efficiency of the writing operation We all store more and more information, while the end devices are supposed to get smaller and smaller. However, due to continuous technological improvement, conventional electronics based on silicon is rapidly reaching its limits – for example limits of physical nature such as the bit size or the number of electrons required to store information….
University of Sussex quantum physicists have developed an algorithm which helps early quantum computers to perform calculations most efficiently The team used their model to calculate the expected computational power of early quantum computers Their research highlights a fundamental advantage of the ‘trapped ion’ approach over other methods Quantum physicists at the University of Sussex have created an algorithm that speeds up the rate of calculations in the early quantum computers which are currently being developed. They have created…
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have developed artificial intelligence software for powder bed 3D printers that assesses the quality of parts in real time, without the need for expensive characterization equipment. The software, named Peregrine, supports the advanced manufacturing “digital thread” being developed at ORNL that collects and analyzes data through every step of the manufacturing process, from design to feedstock selection to the print build to material testing. “Capturing that information creates a digital ‘clone’ for each part, providing…
The high-tech company TRUMPF and the Stuttgart-based Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA have formed a research alliance that…
As COVID-19 has been dominating the everyday life of millions of people worldwide and leaving its mark on people's health, societies, and economies, research…
Whether in flood early-warning systems or in agriculture – rainfall measurements are of great importance. However, there is a lack of accurate data for many…
Demand for integrated energy storage devices is growing rapidly as people rely more and more on portable and wireless electronics, and the global need grows…
Now, a team of researchers based in Japan has married the two options into the ideal combination of long lasting and fast LEDs. They published their results on…
“We found the new way to use spin degree of freedom as electron spin wave,” said Makoto Kohda, paper author and associate professor in the Department of…
From August 3, researchers around the world are invited to take part in a challenge where each team can run its algorithm on standardized robotic platforms.
The new NVIDIA DGX A100 system will increase the processing power of DFKI's machine learning cluster from the current 20 petaFLOPS to 45 petaFLOPS. Each NVIDIA…
