Deepnight’s Algorithm-intensified image enhancement for NIGHT VISION

Instead of using expensive image-intensification tubes, this startup is using ordinary low light sensors coupled with special computer algorithms to produce night vision. This will bring night vision to the general public. At present, even a generation 2 monocular costs around $2000, while a generation 3 device costs around $3500. The new system has the added advantage of being in color, instead of monochromatic. Hopefully, this will pan out, and change the situation for Astronomy enthusiasts worldwide.


Lucas Young, CEO of Deepnight, showcases how their AI technology transforms a standard camera into an affordable and effective night vision device in extremely dark environments.

Artificial intelligence is a broad term encompassing many different subtypes, from apps that can write poetry to algorithms that are able to spot patterns that would otherwise get missed – and now AI modeling has just played a major role in an Alzheimer’s study.

Researchers in Singapore have achieved a breakthrough in rechargeable battery technology by solving one of the most persistent challenges in zinc-ion batteries, with the help of artificial intelligence.

Dendrites, tiny needle-like structures that form during charging and cause short circuits, have long posed an issue in zinc-ion (Zn-ion) battery technology by compromising battery safety and shortening their lifespan.

The rise of AI has made us humans increasingly question what consciousness really is. In a recent study, researchers pitted two competing theories of consciousness against one another, the controversial Integrated Information Theory versus Global Neuronal Workspace Theory. Let’s take a look at what they found.
