Exploring GeS₂ to Rethink Photonic Devices
From AR glasses to smart contact lenses, the future of photonics hinges on better materials. Our research highlights germanium disulfide (GeS₂), which combines high refractive index, full visible transparency, and strong anisotropy – unlocking new ways to control and shape light.
Personalised Uncertainty Quantification in Artificial Intelligence
Researchers at the Alan Turing Institute (UK's national institute for AI) have recently published a paper outlining eight grand challenges associated with personalised uncertainty quantification to boost trust in high-stakes AI decision systems.
Shifts in precipitation regimes exacerbate global inequality in grassland nitrogen cycles
Shifts in precipitation regimes may exacerbate global inequality in grassland nitrogen cycles. Low- and middle-income countries are expected to experience greater losses, but timely adaptation measures could promote balanced regional development.
