An international joint research team led by the Photonic Network Laboratory of Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has demonstrated a record-breaking aggregate optical transmission bandwidth of 37.6 THz to enable a new data-rate record of 402 terabits per second in a standard commercially available optical fiber.
This record was achieved by constructing the first optical transmission system covering all the transmission bands (OESCLU) of the low-loss window of standard optical fibers. The system combined various amplification technologies, some developed for this demonstration, including six kinds of doped fiber optical amplifiers and both discrete and distributed Raman amplification.
Novel optical gain equalizers also allowed access to new wavelength bands that are not yet utilized in deployed systems. The newly developed technology is expected to make a significant contribution to expanding the communication capacity of the optical communication infrastructure as future data services rapidly increase demand.
Japan has found metal deposits useful for EVs.
Researchers probe seabed remotely:
Manganese, cobalt, and nickel are important constituents of lithium-ion batteries, and therefore are considered essential for advancing EV production.

This paper proposes a new four-dimensional chaotic system that consists of two active magnetically controlled memristors. The dynamic characteristics of the system, including equilibrium points, Lyapunov exponent spectrum, bifurcation diagram, double-parameter Lyapunov exponent, and attractor basin, are analyzed. The results indicate that the Lyapunov exponents of the system undergo abrupt changes. The bifurcation diagrams reveal the occurrence of sudden cusp bifurcations, and the diverse manifestations of two-parameter Lyapunov exponents under different parameter combinations further underscore the system’s complexity and variability. This chaotic system also possesses an infinite number of equilibrium points and coexisting attractors, demonstrating multiple stable states.
Theories of the electrophysiology of language comprehension are mostly informed by event-related potential effects observed between condition averages. We here argue that a dissociation between competing effect-level explanations of event-related potentials can be achieved by turning to predictions and analyses at the single-trial level. Specifically, we examine the single-trial dynamics in event-related potential data that exhibited a biphasic N400–P600 effect pattern. A group of multi-stream models can explain biphasic effects by positing that each individual trial should induce either an N400 increase or a P600 increase, but not both. An alternative, single-stream account, Retrieval-Integration theory, explicitly predicts that N400 amplitude and P600 amplitude should be correlated at the single-trial level.

Kenyan runners, like many others, are grappling with the impact of expensive, high-performance shoes.
The track at Moi University’s Eldoret Town Campus doesn’t look like a facility designed for champions.
It is this foundation that AI is now disrupting, providing the none-expert with expert like qualities. But this progression is a fallacy. If we let a junior in a consulting firm, for example, use tools to create presentations that are better than what she could produce on her own, are we teaching her anything? Could she repeat the results with a paper and with a pen? How will she gain the needed knowledge, critical thinking, and expertise if creates or assists the work? It’s all very well that engineers can prompt the code they need, but does this make them good engineers?
The trend of heavily relying on AI automation to complete tasks is the face of the future. Its here to stay. But there is a challenge we must acknowledge. We need to bridge two extremes. On one extreme is the irresistible temptation to benefit as much as possible from the automation AI provides. On the other extreme is the need to let our employees battle through their work themselves so they improve their skills and grow to become the experts their industry needs. How can we do one without losing the other?
This article is not a rant aimed at stopping the progress of technology. There is no stopping it; we can only join it. The challenge is how to build experts and expertise in an AI-generated world. How can we benefit from the optimizations AI can provide without forgetting how to build boats, aqueducts, or manufacture paper if we want to learn from the experience of the Portuguese, the Romans, and the Chinese? The challenge is not this or that but this and that. We want to benefit from AI, and we need to build a generation of new experts. But how do we connect these two dots?
