A Bayesian full-spectrum method from PSI and the University of Michigan separates air scatter from helicopter scatter. In field tests it identified Cs-137 and Ba-133 mixtures and quantified them from one low pass.
Scanning 3DXRD at the ESRF shows a cuprate crystal is not uniform. It holds twin domains separated by broad tetragonal-like walls, which complicates the interpretation of bulk measurements.
A Mayo Clinic-led radiomics model found 73% of pancreatic cancers on scans read as normal, against 39% for radiologists. It is retrospective, and its false-positive rate is the main obstacle to screening use.
A silicon-nitride chip performs a convolution on light itself, then recovers the spectrum with an FFT. The Nature Photonics paper reports lab-grade precision at about $10. Glucose tracking is still one participant deep.
KAIST-led researchers patterned a conductive metal–organic framework into working transistor gates on three semiconductors. Lower switching voltages are the goal, but the paper has not shown them yet.
IEEE has named the Nvidia co-founder its 2026 Medal of Honor recipient. The citation covers GPUs and their use in scientific computing and AI. Here is the engineering behind it, and what is still unproven.
Over 1,645 sols, PIXL and SHERLOC calibration targets collected Martian dust down to roughly 100 nanometres. The results bear on suit fabrics, coatings and airlock design.
Two NeurIPS 2026 papers target cost and reliability in AI agents. SAG gates costly critique by uncertainty. VAN-Flow filters lucky actions out of offline reinforcement learning.
SLAC's X-ray laser has produced ~9 keV pulses of 100–400 attoseconds. The new part is the diagnostic: nanofocused pulses drive amplified emission in copper, and that emission gives the duration.
A Cornell-led team made conductive aluminum gallium oxide films with bandgaps above 7 eV on sapphire, beyond cubic boron nitride. A diode and a transistor work, but the devices are still proofs of concept.
A theory paper in Physical Review B proposes reading an Andreev qubit through the oscillating supercurrent it generates itself. Simulations are promising, but no experiment has tested it yet.
Motors draw nearly a third of US power, and few run on variable frequency drives. Slowing them to match demand frees capacity on the demand side, which grid hardware cannot do.
NTU Singapore's bias-free device swaps oxygen evolution for hydrazine oxidation, giving 25 mA/cm² and 72 hours of stable operation in seawater. The catch is that it needs the pollutant to work.
Perseverance passed Opportunity's 45.16 km off-world distance record on 11 October. The reason is mostly software: AutoNav, a stereo-vision and path-planning stack that runs on a 133 MHz flight computer.
A color-code memory on a 98-qubit trapped-ion machine reached about 5 errors per million correction rounds at distance 7. Suppression of roughly 12× per step is far above what earlier demonstrations showed.
At its 21 October technology webinar, Micron said it will stretch the 6F² planar cell with wafer bonding at 1ε and High-NA EUV later, then go to 3D DRAM. It rejected 4F² layouts.
A CICT-led team sent 3.2 Pb/s bidirectionally over 10.3 km of 24-core fiber using live coherent modules across the S, C and L bands. The distance and the missing peer review matter.
A Nature paper describes a pulsed wire-arc process that prints single-crystal Ti-6Al-4V a metre tall, with creep resistance about tenfold above grain-size scaling at 600–700 °C. Open questions remain.
RIKEN-led team traces parallel-drive errors in a five-qubit silicon array to AC Stark shifts and corrects them with pairwise phase calibration, keeping single-qubit fidelity at or near the 99.9% threshold.
As IT and Technology Development Manager at the Fuerteventura Chamber of Commerce, Jean Michel Tordeur designs web platforms, management systems and custom applications for the Canary Islands' business community.
