An artificial visual sensor with spectral adaptability inspired by the eyes of Pacific salmon
Inspired by the vision systems of Pacific salmons, we designed a spectra-adapted vision sensor based on back-to-back photodiodes. Our vision sensors can collect information in broad spectra and resist the interference of visible light, which improves the accuracy of machine vision systems.
Neutrons give a hot new way to measure the temperature of electronic components
Our modern world is full of temperature-sensitive electronic devices, and researchers led by Osaka University have developed a faster, highly accurate way to measure the temperatures of such devices using neutrons.
Electrical field induced first-order insulator to metal transition and memristive effects
We briefly summarize the contents of a recently published paper (Journal of Electronic Materials

Turning organic wastes into carbon dots by light
Organic waste materials, such as plastics and other long-chain hydrocarbons, are difficult to break down due to stable carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds. We discovered a new way to unlock the potential of these organic compounds by converting them into luminescent carbon dots using light and 2D materials.
Predicting Plastron Thermodynamic Stability for Underwater Superhydrophobicity
Non-wettable surfaces can mitigate the adverse effects of wetting-related phenomena. However, current achievements fall short of meeting industrial requirements because traditional goniometry does not provide meaningful information on the wetting regime or plastron stability underwater.
Dynamic metastable vortex states in interacting vortex lines
Synchronization is a ubiquitous phenomenon observed in various fields: from clocks coupled to ruby’s nuclear magnetic resonance laser, from atrial pacemaker cells to periodically stimulated fireflies. Historically, Christiaan Huygens observed that two coupled pendulum clocks could synchronize.
5G WDM-based bidirectional OWC system with signal remodulation employing cascaded RSOAs
A 5G WDM-based bidirectional OWC system with cascaded RSOAs to effectively remove the downstream data is demonstrated. The uplink performance is greatly enhanced by using two RSOAs to remove the downstream data. This demonstrated system holds great potential to enhance 5G advanced communications.
