A diamond nanophotonic interface with an optically accessible deterministic electronuclear spin register
Posted by Cecile G. Tamura in category: futurism
New #openaccess article online: A diamond #Nanophotonic interface with an optically accessible deterministic electronuclear spin register.
By implanting 117Sn, a fibre-packaged nanophotonic diamond waveguide with optically addressable hyperfine transitions separated by 452 MHz is demonstrated. This enables the formation of a spin-gated optical switch and achieving a waveguide-to-fibre extraction efficiency of 57%.

IRobot shares plunge 19% on report Amazon won’t offer concessions to resolve EU probe
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in category: futurism
Shares of Amazon closed up 1.5% on Wednesday.
Last November, the European Commission warned the planned acquisition raises competition concerns, saying it found Amazon may have the ability to prevent or degrade iRobot rivals’ access to its online site by delisting or reducing the visibility of their products in search results and other areas.
The European Commission opened an in-depth probe into the purchase last July and is expected to rule on the deal by Feb. 14.

‘Magical’ Error Correction Scheme Proved Inherently Inefficient
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in category: futurism
Locally correctable codes need barely any information to fix errors, but they’re extremely long. Now we know that the simplest versions can’t get any shorter.

Energy Savings & Predictive Maintenance at AB InBev’s Largest European Brewery
Posted by Dan Kummer in categories: futurism, robotics/AI
Staff at the Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) brewery in Leuven, Belgium took Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot on a test run in 2022 to see how many mechanical issues or air leaks it could find in the sprawling facility. Less than two hours later, they were ready to offer the robot a full-time job.
In the year since, Spot has become a key part of AB InBev’s “Brewery of the Future” program, which invests in emerging technology to support the company’s ambition of achieving net-zero operations at the Leuven facility by 2028. Spot conducts 1,800 individual inspections each week across ten packaging lines that churn out over 50,000 containers of Stella Artois, Budweiser, and Corona beer every hour. In its first six months of deployment, Spot discovered nearly 150 anomalies and slashed average repair times from a few months to a mere 13 days.
