We imagine physics is objective. But quantum physics found the act of human observation changes the outcome of experiment. Many scientists assume this central role of the observer is limited to just quantum physics. But is this an error? As Heisenberg puts it, \.

Quantum Revolution: Uniting Twistronics and Spintronics for Advanced Electronics

Posted by in categories: health, media & arts, particle physics, quantum physics

Purdue quantum researchers twist double bilayers of an antiferromagnet to demonstrate tunable moiré magnetism.

Twistronics isn’t a new dance move, exercise equipment, or new music fad. No, it’s much cooler than any of that. It is an exciting new development in quantum physics and material science where van der Waals materials are stacked on top of each other in layers, like sheets of paper in a ream that can easily twist and rotate while remaining flat, and quantum physicists have used these stacks to discover intriguing quantum phenomena.

Adding the concept of quantum spin with twisted double bilayers of an antiferromagnet, it is possible to have tunable moiré magnetism. This suggests a new class of material platform for the next step in twistronics: spintronics. This new science could lead to promising memory and spin-logic devices, opening the world of physics up to a whole new avenue with spintronic applications.

KITT The Amazing Car Of Tomorrow — A Knightrider Christmas

Posted by in categories: media & arts, transportation

Let’s kick off the Holiday Season in style, shall we? Like, say, with a single few people even know exist, from a massive pop culture phenomenon of the early ’80s? YES PLEASE! This really needs no introduction. It’s KITT, the Amazing Car of Tomorrow, in full hero mode, Saving Santa from bad weather, and then making the rounds to bring joy and cheer on Christmas Morning — All told in an early ’80s rap, over an electro groove lifted from the Knight Rider theme song. Hopefully you’ve already hit play, but if you haven’t yet, HIT PLAY NOW! And if you have, then PLAY IT AGAIN! And of course, I’d like to wish you all a Verry Merry Christmas! Like it? Subscribe!

Silicon-Based Lifeforms

Posted by in categories: alien life, existential risks, media & arts

In the grandeur of the universe, the tapestry of life may be woven from stranger threads than we ever dared to dream, and spun from materials far different to our own.\

Artificial Afterlives

Posted by in categories: habitats, media & arts, space

The afterlife Jones made.


For as long as we have had history and likely before, people have contemplated a life after this one, but might we one day create artificial afterlives? And if so, will we create heavens or hells?\

SCALE YOUR QUBITS

Posted by in categories: computing, media & arts, quantum physics

How do we go from 100 to 200 to 1000? PASQAL, a quantum computing startup, is using LASERS. They’ve demonstrated 100 and 200 qubit systems, now they’re talking about making 1000. Here’s the mockup of their system.

Introducing Ego-Exo4D: A foundational dataset for research on video learning and multimodal perception

Posted by in categories: augmented reality, media & arts, robotics/AI, transportation

📸 Watch this video on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/v/NNeZinMSuGPtQDXL/?mibextid=i5uVoL


Working together as a consortium, FAIR or university partners captured these perspectives with the help of more than 800 skilled participants in the United States, Japan, Colombia, Singapore, India, and Canada. In December, the consortium will open source the data (including more than 1,400 hours of video) and annotations for novel benchmark tasks. Additional details about the datasets can be found in our technical paper. Next year, we plan to host a first public benchmark challenge and release baseline models for ego-exo understanding. Each university partner followed their own formal review processes to establish the standards for collection, management, informed consent, and a license agreement prescribing proper use. Each member also followed the Project Aria Community Research Guidelines. With this release, we aim to provide the tools the broader research community needs to explore ego-exo video, multimodal activity recognition, and beyond.

How Ego-Exo4D works.

Ego-Exo4D focuses on skilled human activities, such as playing sports, music, cooking, dancing, and bike repair. Advances in AI understanding of human skill in video could facilitate many applications. For example, in future augmented reality (AR) systems, a person wearing smart glasses could quickly pick up new skills with a virtual AI coach that guides them through a how-to video; in robot learning, a robot watching people in its environment could acquire new dexterous manipulation skills with less physical experience; in social networks, new communities could form based on how people share their expertise and complementary skills in video.
