  2. Machine-Learning To Predict The Performance Of Organic Solar Cells 1/28/2021

    Imagine looking for the optimal configuration to build an organic solar cell made from different polymers. How would you start? Does the active layer need to be very thick, or very thin? Does it need a large or a small amount of each polymer? Knowing how to predict the specific composition and cell design that would result in optimum performance is one of the greatest unresolved problems in materials science.

  3. Light-Based Processors Boost Machine-Learning Processing 1/8/2021

    An international team of scientists have developed a photonic processor that uses rays of light inside silicon chips to process information much faster than conventional electronic chips. Published in Nature, the breakthrough study was carried out by scientists from EPFL, the Universities of Oxford, Münster, Exeter, Pittsburgh, and IBM Research – Zurich.

  4. New 12.2 MP Alvium 1800 USB Camera With Rolling Shutter Sensor And Small Pixel Size 7/30/2020

    Allied Vision adds another USB3 Vision camera with a rolling shutter to the Alvium 1800 series. The Alvium 1800 U-1240 incorporates Sony’s back-illuminated IMX226 CMOS sensor that enables high-quality imaging at 12.2 megapixel and 29 frames per second. Due to the pixel size of 1.85 μm, the camera combines the high image-quality with a small optical format und thus offers a very good price/performance ratio.
