AI chips are becoming incredibly fast, but moving data between them is increasingly difficult. Silicon photonics could bring optical communication directly beside processors, using photons to build faster and more energy-efficient AI systems.
Your brain never sees the world directly—it reconstructs it from sensory clues. Discover how prediction, expectation, and surprise may shape the reality you experience.
Your body is constantly emitting tiny amounts of visible light. Discover where this ultraweak glow comes from, why it changes during the day, and what it may reveal about metabolism and oxidative processes.
NASA's Roman Space Telescope will have a mirror similar in size to Hubble's but a field of view at least 100 times larger. Its vast cosmic surveys will investigate dark energy, map billions of galaxies and discover new exoplanets.
Зайдите ночью в темную спальню, и пальто на стуле может на секунду показаться человеком. Если мозг полагается на предсказания для построения восприятия, что удерживает зрение от превращения в галлюцинацию?
Gießen Sie exakt denselben Wein in zwei Gläser und sagen Sie jemandem, dass eine Flasche 8 Dollar kostet und die andere 80 — die Person wird fast sicher den teuren Wein bevorzugen. Verändert die Erwartung das Erleben oder nur die Bewertung?
Scientists asked 1,000 volunteers to bury more than 2,000 pairs of cotton underwear across Switzerland. How much fabric disappeared revealed surprising differences in biological activity and showed how strongly land use affects the life hidden beneath our feet.
AI čipovi postaju neverovatno brzi, ali prenos podataka između njih postaje sve veći problem. Silicijumska fotonika mogla bi da dovede optičku komunikaciju direktno do procesora i omogući brže i energetski efikasnije AI sisteme.
Pour the exact same wine into two glasses, tell a drinker that one costs eight dollars and the other costs eighty, and they will almost certainly prefer the expensive one. Does expectation actually change what you taste, or only how you think about and report it?
NASA-in svemirski teleskop Roman imaće ogledalo slične veličine kao Hubble, ali vidno polje najmanje 100 puta veće. Njegova ogromna istraživanja svemira pomoći će u proučavanju tamne energije, milijardi galaksija i novih egzoplaneta.
