Abstract: Free-space optical (FSO) communication has increasingly been recognized as a viable and competitive alternative to conventional radio frequency (RF) and fibre-optic systems, offering key ...

The room we are in is locked. It is windowless and lit from above by a fluorescent bulb. In the hallway outside—two stories beneath the city of London—attendants in dark suits patrol silently, giving ...

We can't protect what we don't understand. From decoding wolf howls to making sense of millions of citizen-science sightings, we explore the tools helping researchers understand the wild in new ways.

After poring over recordings from sperm whales in the Caribbean, UC Berkeley linguist Gasper Begus had an unlikely breakthrough. According to a new study from Begus and his colleagues with Project ...

Most experimental brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that have been used for synthesizing human speech have been implanted in the areas of the brain that translate the intention to speak into the muscle ...

A participant is using the inner speech neuroprosthesis. The text above is the cued sentence, and the text below is what's being decoded in real-time as she imagines speaking the sentence. Scientists ...

In 2014, Stanford historian Thomas Mullaney placed a call he had been waiting to make for a decade. The woman who picked up, Lois Lew, was a Chinese-American who had spent most of her life running a ...

Generative artificial intelligence has entered a new frontier of fundamental biology: helping scientists to better understand proteins, the workhorses of living cells. Scientists have developed two ...

A new AI-based tool can translate a person's thoughts into continuous text, without requiring the person to comprehend spoken words. This latest advance suggests it may be possible, with further ...

Abstract: The increasing popularity of optical communication systems emphasizes the need for effective errorcorrection solutions, including high-efficiency hardware decoder designs and codes with ...
