Multifunctional phosphor developed for white LED lighting and optical thermometry

Posted by in categories: computing, materials

In the realm of lighting and temperature measurement, advancements in material science are paving the way for significant improvements in technology and safety. Traditional methods, which combine yellow phosphors with blue chips in LEDs, have limitations such as inadequate red light components that affect color rendering and potential hazards from blue light exposure.

Sony says the PS5 Pro uses next-gen AMD ray tracing tech — likely RDNA 4

Posted by in category: computing

Something to look forward to: Improved ray tracing performance is one of the key benefits of Sony’s newly unveiled PlayStation 5 Pro console. Prior to its debut, rumors had long suggested that the mid-generation refresh would incorporate ray tracing technology based on AMD’s upcoming RDNA 4 GPU architecture. Recent comments from PlayStation designer Mark Cerny have all but confirmed these theories.

In a detailed interview with CNET following the reveal of Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro console, designer Mark Cerny confirmed rumors that the device’s ray tracing capabilities are built on an architecture not yet available in AMD’s PC graphics cards. While Cerny didn’t explicitly name RDNA 4, no other viable candidates are known.

Smart supramolecular assemblies: Researchers show how additives promote self-assembly of spherical microparticles

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry

If you’ve ever opened a box from IKEA and wished the pieces inside could somehow spontaneously merge to form a table or chair, then a simple virus could have a thing or two to teach you. Self-assembly of complex molecules is essential for a wide array of biological structures, including proteins, cell membranes, or even entire viruses. Supramolecular chemistry is a field of study that attempts to build large molecules out of a discrete number of…

Astronomers Discover a Rare Black Hole That Defies Astrophysical Theories

Posted by in category: cosmology

Chinese astronomers have uncovered a low-mass black hole that challenges long-held astrophysical theories. This black hole, part of a binary system known as G3425, has a mass of about 3.6 solar masses, placing it in the elusive mass-gap where black holes were previously thought to be absent. The discovery was made using a combination of radial velo…

Controlled ‘wobble’ created in nucleus of atom to store quantum data

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

The atom’s nucleus could safely store quantum data, with controlled wobbling making it possible:


According to the researchers, the spin state or direction of the spin of a nucleus can be used to hold quantum information.

“This magnetism, the “spin” in quantum language, can be seen as a sort of compass needle that can point in various directions. The orientation of the spin at a given time constitutes a piece of quantum information,” the study authors said.

AI Determines How the Brain Predicts and Processes Thoughts

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI

Summary: A new study using artificial intelligence has provided novel insights into how the brain predicts future events and processes information. Researchers discovered that the brain’s spontaneous activity, even without external stimuli, plays a critical role in how we think and feel.

By analyzing local field potentials (LFPs), they uncovered how the brain remains active in anticipating possible scenarios, even in a resting state. These findings could lead to better diagnostic tools and treatments for neurological diseases.

Yale study shows AI accurately diagnosed people with Marfan syndrome

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, robotics/AI

Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that leads to a greater risk of aneurysms developing in a patient’s aorta. Early detection is key to survival. Researchers at Yale School of Medicine studied the use of artificial intelligence in the diagnostic process. The results could eventually lead to an easier and more accessible test.
