Temporal dendritic heterogeneity incorporated with spiking neural networks for learning multi-timescale dynamics

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Brain-inspired spiking neural networks have shown their capability for effective learning, however current models may not consider realistic heterogeneities present in the brain. The authors propose a neuron model with temporal dendritic heterogeneity for improved neuromorphic computing applications.

“Metaholograms” — Scientists Have Developed a New, Better Type of Hologram

Posted by in categories: augmented reality, computing, encryption, holograms, virtual reality

New “metaholograms” could transform AR/VR technologies by enabling crosstalk-free, high-fidelity image projection with vastly increased information capacity.

Researchers have developed a new type of holograms, known as “metaholograms,” capable of projecting multiple high-fidelity images free of crosstalk. This innovation opens doors to advanced applications in virtual and augmented reality (AR/VR) displays, data storage, and image encryption.

Metaholograms offer several advantages over traditional holograms, including broader operational bandwidth, higher imaging resolution, wider viewing angle, and more compact size. However, a major challenge for metaholograms has been their limited information capacity which only allows them to project a few independent images. Existing methods typically can provide a small number of display channels and often suffer from inter-channel crosstalk during image projections.

Can you delay aging? A biochemist explains how

Posted by in category: life extension

Aging is a natural part of life and yet one most of us hope to delay. At a certain point when you start feeling the effects of age and want the whole process to stop rushing forward. But can aging really be slowed down?

Novel formamidinium lead iodide perovskite n-type transistors have notable field-effect mobilities

Posted by in categories: computing, materials

Metal halide perovskites, a class of crystalline materials with remarkable optoelectronic properties, have proven to be promising candidates for the development of cost-effective thin-film transistors. Recent studies have successfully used these materials, particularly tin (Sn) halide perovskites, to fabricate p-type transistors with field-effect hole mobilities (μh) of over 70 cm2 V−1 s−1.

Scientists race to design craft to reach the enigmatic ‘Oumuamua

Posted by in category: space

1I/2017 U1 (‘Oumuamua) was discovered in October 2017; shortly after, it was determined to be the first object ever seen inside the solar system that had come from beyond it. But by the time its origins had been discerned, the interstellar interloper had already rounded the Sun and was speeding away at some 85,700 mph (138,000 km/h). Just an estimated 1,300 feet (400 meters) across, it faded from view of even the most powerful telescopes within weeks.

The only way to gather more data and uncover its true nature would be to send a spacecraft to study it up close. But uncertainties in ‘Oumuamua’s exact trajectory, the difficulty of detecting its ever-dimming light, and its rapid retreat make the idea of designing, building, and launching a mission in time to catch up to it seem utterly impossible.

Every spaceship that has carried NASA astronauts into space

Posted by in category: space travel

The space agency has been around since 1958, yet only a select few spacecraft have transported NASA astronauts to space. Boeing’s Starliner could join a rather exclusive list should it succeed in docking with the ISS and delivering its precious human cargo. We’ve put together a list of all the spacecraft that have flown, or will soon be flown, with NASA crews on board.
