A speech waveform, spectrogram and phonetic transcription, the raw material speech-recognition models learn from. Image: Wugapodes, via Wikimedia Commons, LGPL. A transcript can capture every word and still miss what people need: who said what, a translation for a colleague, or the correct spelling of an industry term. On October 28, 2026, NVIDIA released Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe, a free, open-weight model designed to do all of that in one place, steered by plain-language instructions. One...

Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy systems – allowing us to gain new insights about many-body quantum kinetics

Posted on January 18, 2021January 18, 2021 by 41629066

Terahertz spectroscopy detects and controls properties of matter with electromagnetic fields that are in the frequency range between a few hundred gigahertz and several terahertz (abbreviated as THz). Terahertz (THz) represents the portion of the electromagnetic radiation between the microwave and the infrared region. Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy systems are widely employed to retrieve the chemical and material composition of a sample. This is single-handedly the most important driving mo...

Lockheed Martin’s Robert Afzal and team have developed laser weapon systems, taking the page from star wars and making it real

Posted on March 18, 2017March 18, 2017 by

Science reality has caught up with science fiction. Lockheed Martin is showing that laser weapon systems can turn up the heat and stop land, air or sea targets in their path. And, they can be compact enough and power efficient enough for tactical platforms on the move, providing nearly unlimited “bullets” with speed-of-light response. Lockheed Martin is moving at light speed to position these capable systems for success on the battlefield. They have developed innovative fiber lasers, sophisti...

MIT researchers have developed low-cost wireless chemical sensors that can be worn by soldiers to detect hazardous chemical agents

Posted on March 4, 2017 by

MIT researchers have developed low-cost chemical sensors, made from chemically altered carbon nanotubes, that enable smartphones or other wireless devices to detect trace amounts of toxic gases. Using the sensors, the researchers hope to design lightweight, inexpensive radio-frequency identification (RFID) badges to be used for personal safety and security. Such badges could be worn by soldiers on the battlefield to rapidly detect the presence of chemical weapons — such as nerve gas or chokin...

University of Wisconsin–Madison, study shows that sediment storage blocks the oxidation of carbon

Posted on January 3, 2017 by

For the development of animals, nothing — with the exception of DNA — may be more important than oxygen in the atmosphere. Oxygen enables the chemical reactions that animals use to get energy from stored carbohydrates — from food. So it may be no coincidence that animals appeared and evolved during the “Cambrian explosion,” which coincided with a spike in atmospheric oxygen roughly 500 million years ago. It was during the Cambrian explosion that most of the current animal designs appeared....

‘Electronic Nose’ – Device identify the specific components of an odor and analyzes its chemical makeup.

Posted on December 24, 2016 by

An electronic nose is a device intended to detect odors or flavors. Over the last decade, "electronicsensing" or "e-sensing" technologies have undergone important developments from a technical and commercial point of view. These device identify the specific components of an odor and analyzes its chemical makeup. An electronic nose consists of a mechanism for chemical detection, such as an array of electronic sensors, and a mechanism for pattern recognition, such as a neural network. The ba...

Video analytics can transform standard CCTV

Posted on September 7, 2016 by

Video analytics can transform standard CCTV systems into intelligent and effective detection and alert systems. CCTV technology is now capable of recognising faces of people, vehicles, animals and bags automatically. Integrated with CCTV video analytics, both facial and general recognition software systems are capable of counting, measuring speed and monitoring direction. For example, recognition systems can monitor the duration of time that people are present in a specific area or how long a...

FDA Approved ‘Micra Transcatheter Pacing System’ (New Pacemaker)

Posted on June 19, 2016 by

Micra Transcatheter Pacing System (TPS) contains a one inch-long, self-contained pacemaker that is implanted directly in the right ventricle chamber of the heart. It works like other pacemakers to control the heartbeat. Unlike other pacemakers, the Micra TPS does not have leads. The Micra TPS is a single-chamber pacing system – it paces only the right ventricle of the heart. How does it work? The Micra TPS is implanted directly into the heart via the femoral vein (in the leg) using a catheter...
