An active optical intensity interferometry scheme enables synthetic aperture imaging from over a kilometer away

1 day ago | techxplore.com | Ingrid Fadelli |Stephanie Baum |Robert Egan

Intensity interferometry is a promising technique that enables the precise measurement of spatial properties (i.e., distances, shapes and light properties) by probing fluctuations in the intensity (i.e., brightness) of light, as opposed to the exact timing and phase of light waves probed by amplitude (phase) interferometry. Intensity interferometry could overcome some of the limitations of amplitude interferometry, as it is less sensitive to atmospheric factors and optical imperfections.
Gamers get hold of Nintendo's hotly awaited Switch 2

2 days ago | techxplore.com | Katie Forster |Caroline Gardin |with Thomas Urbain |Andrew Zinin

Gamers finally got their hands on Nintendo's new Switch 2 on Thursday, the console that could score record early sales for the Japanese "Super Mario" creator. The device, which features a bigger screen and more processing power, is an upgrade to the Switch that became a global phenomenon with hit games such as "Animal Crossing."The original Switch has sold 152 million units since its 2017 release, making it the third-best-selling console ever.
Study points to recommended reforms in solar energy

2 days ago | techxplore.com | Laura Hurley |Sadie Harley |Andrew Zinin

Solar power is growing by leaps and bounds in the United States, propelled by climate mitigation policies and carbon-free energy goals—and California is leading the way as the nation's top producer of solar electricity. A study in Energy Strategy Reviews has revealed a dark side to the state's breakneck pace for solar investment, deployment, and adoption, taking a first-time look at patterns of public and private sector corruption in the California solar market.
Collaboration can unlock Australia's energy transition without sacrificing natural capital

4 days ago | techxplore.com | Stephanie Baum |Robert Egan

Decarbonizing Australia's economy and protecting the country's most critical natural resources are both possible, but will require significant collaboration between energy developers, state and local governments, landowners, and interest groups, according to new research led by Princeton and the University of Queensland.
Study shows making hydrogen with soda cans and seawater is scalable and sustainable

4 days ago | techxplore.com | Jennifer Chu |Lisa Lock |Robert Egan

Hydrogen has the potential to be a climate-friendly fuel since it doesn't release carbon dioxide when used as an energy source. Currently, however, most methods for producing hydrogen involve fossil fuels, making hydrogen less of a "green" fuel over its entire life cycle. A new process developed by MIT engineers could significantly shrink the carbon footprint associated with making hydrogen.
Is a quantum-cryptography apocalypse imminent?

4 days ago | techxplore.com | Keith Martin |Gaby Clark |Andrew Zinin

Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global security disaster? You might certainly get that impression from a lot of news coverage, the latest of which reports new estimates that it might be 20 times easier to crack such codes than previously thought. Cryptography underpins the security of almost everything in cyberspace, from wifi to banking to digital currencies such as bitcoin.
Scalable method creates self-healing, stretchable transistors and circuits

4 days ago | techxplore.com | Ingrid Fadelli |Stephanie Baum |Robert Egan

Recent technological advances have enabled the development of a wide range of increasingly sophisticated wearable and implantable devices, which can be used to monitor physiological signals or intervene with high precision in therapeutically targeted regions of the body. As these devices, particularly implantable ones, are typically designed to remain in changing biological environments for long periods of time, they should be biocompatible and capable of fixing themselves after they are damaged.
One Tech Tip: How to use your smartphone to photograph the Northern Lights

4 days ago | techxplore.com | Kelvin Chan |Andrew Zinin

People in parts of the U.S. may be able to see Northern lights Monday night—or at least use a smartphone's camera to reveal hints of the aurora not visible to the naked eye. Space weather forecasters issued a rare, severe solar storm alert on Sunday after the sun let out a huge burst of energy called a coronal mass ejection last week. Another one headed toward Earth on Monday could produce more aurora sightings and with it, more social media posts of the majestic spectacle.
Circumventing internet censorship in countries like China or Iran

5 days ago | techxplore.com | Stephanie Baum |Robert Egan

Free access to information online is a vital component of democratic societies. However, something that is taken for granted in this country is by no means possible everywhere. Given this, in a recent study, researchers at Paderborn University and the Technology Innovation Institute in Abu Dhabi have demonstrated how internet censorship can be circumvented by making targeted modifications to the encryption protocols.
The biggest barrier to AI adoption in the business world isn't tech-it's user confidence

5 days ago | techxplore.com | Greg Edwards |Lisa Lock |Andrew Zinin

The Little Engine That Could wasn't the most powerful train, but she believed in herself. The story goes that, as she set off to climb a steep mountain, she repeated: "I think I can, I think I can." That simple phrase from a children's story still holds a lesson for today's business world—especially when it comes to artificial intelligence. AI is no longer a distant promise out of science fiction. It's here and already beginning to transform industries.
