Future robots could one day tell how you’re feeling by measuring your sweat, scientists say

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

Scientists say a phenomenon called “skin conductance,” which changes when you sweat, is a surprisingly accurate method for detecting emotions — with future robots that detect this able to tell your emotions.

New electron microscopy technique reveals complex spin structures at femtosecond timescales

Posted by in category: futurism

Plasmons are collective oscillations of electrons in a solid and are important for a wide range of applications, such as sensing, catalysis, and light harvesting. Plasmonic waves that travel along the surface of a metal, called surface plasmon polaritons, have been studied for their ability to enhance electromagnetic fields.

One of the most powerful tools for studying these waves is time-resolved electron microscopy, which uses to observe how these plasmonic waves behave. An international research team recently pushed the boundaries of this technique.

As reported in Advanced Photonics, the researchers used multiple time-delayed laser pulses of four different polarizations to capture the full electric field of these waves. This method allowed them to achieve a level of accuracy previously not possible.
