‘Fingerprint’ machine learning technique identifies different bacteria in seconds
Mar 04, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Bacterial identification can take hours and often longer, precious time when diagnosing infections and selecting appropriate treatments. There may be a quicker, more accurate process according to researchers at KAIST. By teaching a deep learning algorithm to identify the “fingerprint” spectra of the molecular components...
Controlling the nonequilibrium optical response of graphene
Mar 04, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Graphene is the thinnest material ever produced, with the thickness of a single atomic layer, thinner than a billionth of a meter, it is able to efficiently absorb light from the visible to the infrared through the photoexcitation of its charge carriers. After light absorption,...
Bendy robotic arm twisted into shape with help of augmented reality (w/video)
Mar 04, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Researchers have designed a malleable robotic arm that can be guided into shape by a person using augmented reality (AR) goggles. The flexible arm, which was designed and created at Imperial College London, can twist and turn in all directions, making it readily customisable for...
