Plasma mirrors capable of withstanding the intensity of powerful lasers are being designed through an emerging machine ...

When a quantum computer processes data, it must translate it into understandable quantum data. Algorithms that carry out this 'quantum compilation' typically optimize one target at a time. However, a ...

High-power lasers are promising tools for developing new solutions for healthcare, manufacturing and nuclear fusion. However, says the Strathclyde group, “these are becoming large and expensive owing ...

Machine learning redesigns microscopic web sensors to be five times more flexible than nature-inspired versions, enabling detection of masses as small as trillionths of a gram.

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence, which explores how to computationally simulate (or surpass) humanlike intelligence. While some AI techniques (such as expert systems) use ...
