Hmmm.
What arrange you achieve?
My test is in quantum 1 usd to jpy ip, a nature which hunt for to usd to rmb exchange rate coalesce cardinal of the greatest determining multiplication of binary numbers of the finish hundred: quantum performance and computing. Especially, I am attracted in perusal quantum binary operator trap. Trap is a characteristic kinda correlations binary code for 2 solitary commence in quantum binary words performance. We are each close with the rs to usd construct of correlations. E. g., the meteorological.

New bioimaging technique offers clear view of nervous system
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: biotech/medical, computing, life extension, neuroscience
More info. on some research that I came across a few weeks ago on a new bioimaging technique to help map and understand the nervous system which is one of the hardest areas of the brain to map and monitor — this is truly groundbreaking on so many fronts such as precision meds. research, computer mapping of the brain and neuro pathways, etc. If will be very impressive to see how much this accelerates the efforts in finding a cure for diseases such as Dystonia.
MUNICH, Germany, Aug. 22 (UPI) — Scientists at Ludwig Maximilian University have developed a technique for turning the body of a deceased rodent entirely transparent, revealing the central nervous system in unprecedented clarity.
Researchers are hopeful the new and improved view will help scientists understand how traumatic brain injuries, strokes and aging yield chronic disorders like dementia and epilepsy.

Light and matter merge in quantum coupling
Posted by Andreas Matt in categories: computing, quantum physics
Where light and matter intersect, the world illuminates. Where light and matter interact so strongly that they become one, they illuminate a world of new physics, according to Rice University scientists.
Rice physicists are closing in on a way to create a new condensed matter state in which all the electrons in a material act as one by manipulating them with light and a magnetic field. The effect made possible by a custom-built, finely tuned cavity for terahertz radiation shows one of the strongest light-matter coupling phenomena ever observed.
The work by Rice physicist Junichiro Kono and his colleagues is described in Nature Physics. It could help advance technologies like quantum computers and communications by revealing new phenomena to those who study cavity quantum electrodynamics and condensed matter physics, Kono said.

HKUST Develops Tiny Lasers that Opens New Era for Light-based Computing
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, engineering, physics, solar power, sustainability
Congrats Hong Kong Univ.
Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have fabricated microscopically-small lasers directly on silicon, enabling the future-generation microprocessors to run faster and less power-hungry – a significant step towards light-based computing.
The innovation, made by Prof Kei-may Lau, Fang Professor of Engineering and Chair Professor of the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, in collaboration with the University of California, Santa Barbara; Sandia National Laboratories and Harvard University, marks a major breakthrough for the semiconductor industry and well beyond.

5 Incredible Ways Scientists Are Merging Our Brains With Machines
Posted by Elmar Arunov in categories: biotech/medical, computing, nanotechnology, neuroscience
I’ve been reading Ramez Naam’s fantastic book “Nexus,” which is set in a near-future where a powerful nano-drug allows human minds to connect together. In the story, a group of enterprising neuroscientists and engineers discover they can use the drug in a new way — to run a computer operating system inside their brains. Naam’s characters telepathically communicate with each other using a mental chat app and even manipulate other people’s bodies by gaining control of their brains’ operating systems.
Sounds far-fetched, right?
It might not be as far-fetched as you think. From connecting a human brain to a basic tablet to help a paralyzed patient communicate with the outside world to memory-boosting brain implants and a prototype computer chip that runs on live neurons — the real world progress we’re seeing today is nearly as strange as fiction.

Research using sheep leads to a new device to record and stimulate the brain
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: biotech/medical, computing, neuroscience
The new BMI stentrode came from the research on sheep; nice to know for the next Trivia night at the local pub.
A group of Australian and American researchers have used sheep to develop and test a new device (original paper) – the stentrode – for recording electrical signals from inside the brain. The research was published in Nature Biotechnology. This new technology removes one of the main obstacles to developing efficient brain-computer interfaces: the need for invasive surgery.

Spin Nano-Systems Result in New Type of Quantum Bits
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, nanotechnology, quantum physics
Excellent progress.
The rapid progress that has been sweeping the field of crystal growth and related device technology is opening doors. Perhaps nowhere is the effect of this evolution being felt more than in the development of ultra-small structures whose material properties can be controlled on the nanoscale. The reason for this development: because solid-state nano–structures possess unique optical and electronic properties, they have the potential to be the launching pad of a new generation of devices.
Within the field, researchers are particularly focused on the properties of spins confined within the nano-structures – with the ultimate goal being to use spin nano-systems to develop, for example, robust quantum bits (qubits) capable of storing vast amounts of information. Here, the EU -funded S^3NANO project has successfully developed qubits in a new, innovative form. According to project researchers, these qubits could serve as the information units of the quantum computers of the future.

Artificial Intelligence could help eradicate global poverty
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, information science, robotics/AI, sustainability
Another spin on AI in how it eradicates poverty; hmmm.
Eradicating extreme poverty, measured as people living on less than $1.25 US a day, by 2030 is among the sustainable development goals adopted by United Nations member states last year.
A team of computer scientists and satellite experts created a self-updating world map to locate poverty, said Marshall Burke, assistant professor in Stanford’s Department of Earth System Science.
