Reproduction of paintings that look good in any light can be created by combed artificial intelligence and 3D printing, according to MIT. “If you just reproduce the colour of a painting as it looks in the gallery, it might look different in your home. Our system works under any lighting condition, which shows a far ...

Johanson Technology is offering high-Q capacitors with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) for high power RF applications. Called the E-Series, “in addition to minimising energy loss, Johanson Technology’s high-Q capacitors reduce thermal noise caused by ESR to assist in maintaining desired signal-to-noise ratios”, according to the firm. The firm claims to use the lowest loss ...

Embedding electro-active bacteria in a polymer structure can improve the effectivness of living electrodes, according to Swedish researchers at Linköping University. Working with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, they embedded the bacterium Shewanella oneidensis into the electrically-conductive polymer PEDOT:PSS, on a substrate of carbon felt. The result, revealed by microscopy, was an interleaved structure of bacteria and conducting polymers up ...

Divisions in society were made worse by hoards of automated software ‘bots’ in the days preceding the Catalan independence referendum last year, according to Italian and US researchers who analysed four million contemporary tweets from one million twitter users. At times, over 23% of posts were by bots, and Twitter ‘replies’ by bots peaked at 38.8% ...
