Pearls have long been favored as objects of beauty. Now, Purdue University innovators are using the gem to provide potential new opportunities for spectral information processing that can be applied to spectroscopy in biomedical and military applications.
The Purdue team demonstrated light transport-assisted information processing by creating a pearl spectrometer.
Spectrometers probe interactions of matter and light as a function of the electromagnetic spectrum and are commonly used in biomedical and military applications. For example, they have been used for diagnostics of various types of cancer and for military gas sensing.

Semi-autonomous driving systems continue to come under the microscope, and the results are mixed. Teslaâs Autopilot system is one of the more well-known examples, and while some drivers like this Model 3 owner have faith in the technology, we have seen some disturbing instances of the system potentially leading to serious crashes.
Well, yet another Tesla was involved in a nasty crash and is a reminder that humans and driving aids donât always make a safe combination. The video â recorded by the carâs camera system â was shared by GreenTheOnly on Twitter, a hacker who has previously uncovered some of the shortcomings of Teslaâs in-car tech. Itâs not known what Tesla model this was.

french start-up hy-generation has unveiled a new type of electric thruster, equipped with patented self-adjusting blades that improve the performance (thrust and speed) and autonomy of ships. dubbed the electro propulsion PM5kW, this top class electric thruster has been designed essentially for OEM and electric project conversion, suitable for licenseless navigation.
developed to meet the need for expertise and engineering on technologies that profoundly change the energy landscape: fuel cells and hydrogen, hy-generation integrates the latest practices in permanent magnet electric motors with the patented self-adjustable blade system to set a new standard in terms of performance and efficiency. after two years of development, the technology has been refined to be adapted to slow, high displacement boats.

CRYSTAL BATTERIESâą Safe and Powerful Performance Crystal Batteriesâą are a unique technology that overcomes conventional battery problems by having a nearly solid-state electrolyte. This allows the battery to be discharged deeper, cycle more often, has a longer lifetime and can withstand extreme temperatures. WATCH SAFETY TEST.

In 1841, Alexander Bain confirmed the capacity of moist dirt in the generating of electricity. An Earth Battery is a pair of electrodes, consisting of two dissimilar metals, using moist earth as an electrolyte. To make the battery, Bain buried plates of zinc (anode) and copper (cathode) in the ground about a yard apart. It produced an output voltage of approximately 1 volt.
When you place a zinc anode and a copper cathode in a container of wet mud, the two metals start reacting, because zinc loses electrons easier than copper and because the mud contains ions. By wetting the dirt, it turns into a true electrolyte solution. Therefore, the electrodes start exchanging electrons, just like an ordinary battery does.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced plans to send a compact rover named Rashid to study the Moon in 2024, marking an intensification in the small nationâs spacefaring ambitions. If Rashid is successful, the UAE could become only the fourth country to operate a craft on the Moonâs surface, and the first in the Arab world.
With its orbiter Hope on its way to Mars, the United Arab Emirates has now set its sights on the Moon.
These findings represent a bridge in physics, AI and neuroscience, and has the potential to advance on-the-spot decision making in AI.
