A thousand times smaller than a grain of sand—glass sensors 3D-printed on optical fiber

Posted by in categories: innovation, internet

In a first for communications, researchers in Sweden 3D printed silica glass micro-optics on the tips of optic fibers—surfaces as small as the cross section of a human hair. The advance could enable faster internet and improved connectivity, as well as innovations like smaller sensors and imaging systems.

Engineers develop innovative microbiome analysis software tools

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, innovation

Since the first microbial genome was sequenced in 1995, scientists have reconstructed the genomic makeup of hundreds of thousands of microorganisms and have even devised methods to take a census of bacterial communities on the skin, in the gut, or in soil, water and elsewhere based on bulk samples, leading to the emergence of a relatively new field of study known as metagenomics.

Stellantis is about to test the first-ever production-line lithium-sulfur batteries

Posted by in categories: innovation, transportation

In a milestone, supermaterials trailblazer Lyten has shipped lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries to Stellantis and other US and EU OEMs for testing.

Lyten’s shipment of A samples of its 6.5 Ah Li-S pouch cells is the first major step in the commercial evaluation of lithium-sulfur batteries by leading US and European automakers. Stellantis announced that it had invested in Lyten’s lithium-sulfur battery development in May 2023.

“This milestone is the result of years of dedicated work and innovation from the Lyten team, and we are just at the start of further expanding the capabilities of our lithium-sulfur battery cells,” said Lyten CEO and cofounder Dan Cook.

Optimizing Graph Neural Network Training with DiskGNN: A Leap Toward Efficient Large-Scale Learning

Posted by in categories: innovation, robotics/AI

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are crucial in processing data from domains such as e-commerce and social networks because they manage complex structures. Traditionally, GNNs operate on data that fits within a system’s main memory. However, with the growing scale of graph data, many networks now require methods to handle datasets that exceed memory limits, introducing the need for out-of-core solutions where data resides on disk.

Despite their necessity, existing out-of-core GNN systems struggle to balance efficient data access with model accuracy. Current systems face a trade-off: either suffer from slow input/output operations due to small, frequent disk reads or compromise accuracy by handling graph data in disconnected chunks. For instance, while pioneering, these challenges have limited previous solutions like Ginex and MariusGNN, showing significant drawbacks in training speed or accuracy.

The DiskGNN framework, developed by researchers from Southern University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Centre for Perceptual and Interactive Intelligence, AWS Shanghai AI Lab, and New York University, emerges as a transformative solution specifically designed to optimize the speed and accuracy of GNN training on large datasets. This system utilizes an innovative offline sampling technique that prepares data for quick access during training. By preprocessing and arranging graph data based on expected access patterns, DiskGNN reduces unnecessary disk reads, significantly enhancing training efficiency.
