Visualizing nanoparticle dynamics using AI-based method

Static image taken from video (shown below). Left: a platinum nanoparticle imaged via electron microscopy. Right: using AI-based method to remove the noise. By Patricia Waldron A team of scientists has developed a method to illuminate the dynamic behavior of nanoparticles. The work, reported in Visualizing Nanoparticle Surface Dynamics and Instabilities Enabled by Deep Denoising, in the journal Science, combines artificial intelligence with electron microscopy to render visuals of how these tiny bits of matter respond to stimuli. “The nature of changes in the particle is exceptionally diverse, including fluxional periods, manifesting as rapid changes in atomic structure, particle shape,

What is Apache Arrow? Features, How to Use and More

Data is at the core of everything, from business decisions to machine learning. But processing large-scale data across different systems is often slow. Constant format conversions add processing time and memory overhead. Traditional row-based storage formats struggle to keep up with modern analytics. This leads to slower computations, higher memory usage, and performance bottlenecks. Apache Arrow solves these issues. It is an open source, columnar in-memory data format designed for speed and efficiency. Arrow provides a common way to represent tabular data, eliminating costly conversions and enabling seamless interoperability. Key Benefits of Apache Arrow Zero-Copy Data Sharing – Transfers data

JDK 25 kicks off with a stable values API

While Java Development Kit 25 is not set to arrive until September, the first feature already has been proposed for it — a preview of a stable values API that promises to improve startup of Java applications. Stable values are objects that hold immutable data. Because stable values are treated as constants by the JVM, they allow for the same performance optimizations that are enabled by declaring a field final. At the same time, they offer greater flexibility as to the timing of initialization. Thus they could be used to improve the startup of Java applications by breaking up the

The Challenges and Upsides of Using AI in Scientific Writing

This is a guest post. The views expressed here are the author’s own and do not represent positions of IEEE Spectrum, The Institute or IEEE. Scientific writing is at a pivotal stage, driven by artificial intelligence as a disruptor and enabler. Academics, publishers, and policymakers are attempting to weigh the value of using AI responsibly to enhance productivity versus risking the integrity and purpose of scholarly communication. In this context, the responsible use of the technology in scientific writing pertains to employing AI tools in ways that uphold the integrity, transparency, and ethical standards of scholarly communication. As we collectively

A springtail-like jumping robot | ScienceDaily

Springtails, smallbugs often found crawling through leaf litter and garden soil, are expert jumpers. Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists in theHarvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have made a walking, jumping robot that pushes the boundaries of what small robots can do. Published in Science Robotics, the research glimpses a future where nimble microrobots can crawl through tiny spaces, skitter across dangerous ground, and sense their environments without human intervention. The new Harvard robot was created in the lab of Robert J. Wood, the Harry Lewis and Marlyn McGrath Professor of Engineering and Applied
