Engineers have found a new approach for combining data acquired wirelessly from a large number of sensors. The technique is based on considering the 'ensemble spectrum' of the sensors, which simply involves analyzing the radio signal received from all the sensors without synchronizing them to each other or separating their individual contributions.
A novel hybrid ferritin nanocage with histidine residues shows 1.5 times higher metal ion uptake and improved catalytic efficiency for alcohol production. These findings suggest that hybrid bio-nanocages could effectively catalyze reactions to yield industrially important products.
Researchers have developed new optical computing hardware for AI and machine learning that is faster and much more energy efficient than conventional electronics. The research also addresses another challenge - the 'noise' inherent to optical computing that can interfere with computing precision.
