(Research Organization of Information and Systems) Cells are massive factories, containing a multitude of substations devoted to specific tasks all devoted to keeping the overarching organism alive. Until now, researchers have questioned how such diverse components evolve in tandem -- especially when each component can evolve in a variety of ways. Two researchers based in Tokyo, Japan, have developed a statistical physics model to demonstrate how such evolution is possible. The results were […]

(Tokyo Metropolitan University) Tokyo, Japan - Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new way of calculating simple holograms for heads-up displays (HUDs) and near-eye displays (NEDs). The method is up to 56 times faster than conventional algorithms and does not require power-hungry graphics processing units (GPUs), running on normal computing cores like those found in PCs. This opens the way to developing compact, power-efficient, next-gen augmented reality devices, […]

(Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) Graduate University) In a paper recently published in Applied Physics Letters, researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have shown how wrinkles can be increased or reduced by altering the curvature at the edge of a material.

(University of Massachusetts Amherst) A group of artificial intelligence experts including computer vision researcher and lead author Erik Learned-Miller of UMass Amherst's College of Information and Computer Sciences recently proposed a new model for managing facial recognition technologies at the federal level. In a white paper, the authors propose an FDA-inspired model that categorizes these technologies by degrees of risk and would institute corresponding controls.

(RMIT University) Computer scientists have developed a way to measure staff comfort and concentration in flexible working spaces using artificial intelligence.
