Researchers from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Southern University of Science and Technology have developed a novel deep learning neural network, Electrode Net. By introducing signed distance fields and three-dimensional convolutional neural networks, this method can significantly accelerate electrode design while maintaining high accuracy. It is widely applicable to fuel cells, water electrolyzers, flow batteries, etc.

A novel strategy was designed for guiding supramolecular macrocycles into nanoscale chiral topological toroids, establishing hierarchical self-assembly pathways for advanced chiroptical materials

Delta.g has raised £4.6M to commercialise the world’s first field-tested quantum sensor enabling real-time spatial intelligence.  The funding will enable Delta.g to deliver field systems through pilot deployments across key industry and government partners, including the UK Department for Transport.

Strong Northern Lights-like activity is the standout feature of today’s weather report, which is coming at you from a strange, extrasolar world, instead of a standard TV studio. That is thanks to astronomers from Trinity College Dublin, who used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to take a close look at the weather of a toasty nearby rogue planet, SIMP-0136.

The exquisite sensitivity of the instruments on board the space-based telescope enabled the team to see minute changes in brightness of the planet as it rotated, which were used to track changes in temperature, cloud cover and chemistry. 

Surprisingly, these observations also illuminated SIMP-0136’s strong auroral activity, similar to the Northern Lights here on Earth or the powerful aurora on Jupiter, which heat up its upper atmosphere.
