The four-camera setup is already in use When it comes to producing 3D TV content, the more cameras that are used to simultaneously record one shot, the better. At least two cameras (or one camera with two lenses) are necessary to provide the depth information needed to produce the left- and right-eye images for conventional

Manufacturing hasn’t evolved much for thousands of years. But a radical shift could be coming: replacing traditional factories with biological ones and designing by “human-cell collaboration.” Are we headed to a glucose-based economy? It’s still early days when it comes to manufacturing. Archaeological digs have revealed that technology behind the first stone tools advanced at

The optical chip developed at INRS by Prof. ’s team overcomes a number of obstacles in the development of quantum computers, which are expected to revolutionize information processing. The international research team has demonstrated that on-chip quantum frequency combs can be used to simultaneously generate multiphoton entangled quantum bit (qubit) states. Quantum computing differs fundamentally

PRODUCE AND DETECT GRAVITATIONAL FIELDS AT WILL USING MAGNETIC FIELDS, CONTROL THEM FOR STUDYING THEM, WORK WITH THEM TO PRODUCE NEW TECHNOLOGIES—IT SOUNDS DARING, BUT PROF. ANDRÉ FÜZFA OF NAMUR UNIVERSITY HAS PROPOSED JUST THAT IN AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED IN THE PRESTIGIOUS SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL PHYSICAL REVIEW D. IF FOLLOWED, THIS PROPOSAL COULD TRANSFORM PHYSICS AND

‘This is a really special reaction, one that we all dream about doing’ — Mu-Hyun Baik As organic chemistry evolved, techniques for catalyzing hydrocarbons advanced and one by one a method was created for their manipulation. Ethane, propane, butane, pentane — all the alkanes followed a similar pattern and their reactions had predictable results. Only

Researchers at Tohoku University have developed an innovative method for fabricating semitransparent and flexible solar cells with atomically thin 2D materials. The new technology improves power conversion efficiency of up to 0.7% – this is the highest value for solar cells made from transparent 2D sheet materials. Transparent or semi-transparent solar cells with excellent mechanical
