Eigen nabs $37M to help banks and others parse huge documents using natural language and ‘small data’

Posted on by

One of the bigger trends in enterprise software has been the emergence of startups building tools to make the benefits of artificial intelligence technology more accessible to non-tech companies. Today, one that has built a platform to apply power of machine learning and natural language processing to massive documents of unstructured data has closed a […] Continue reading Eigen nabs $37M to help banks and others parse huge documents using natural language and ‘small data’→

It’s NICER in Orbit

Posted on by

Given the sheer volume of science going on as the International Space Station circles above our heads every 90 minutes or so, it would be hard for any one experiment to stand out. ISS expeditions conduct experiments on everything from space medicine to astrophysics and beyond, and the instruments needed …read more

Ditching mirrors for plastic prisms will make for much smaller, more powerful X-ray telescopes

Posted on by

A new way of bending X-rays raises the prospect of smaller, more powerful X-ray space telescopes. Based on technology originally developed for medical imaging machines, Stacked Prism Lens are being developed by a team led by Mats Danielsson a… Continue reading Ditching mirrors for plastic prisms will make for much smaller, more powerful X-ray telescopes→

Perovskites: Not Just for Solar Cells Anymore

Posted on by

If you’ve been around long enough, you’ll know there’s a long history of advances in materials science that get blown far out of proportion by both the technical and the popular media. Most of the recent ones seem to center on the chemistry of carbon, particularly graphene and nanotubes. Head …read more

X-Rays Are the Next Frontier in Space Communications

Posted on by

Hundreds of years from now, the story of humanity’s inevitable spread across the solar system will be a collection of engineering problems solved, some probably in heroic fashion. We’ve already tackled a lot of these problems in our first furtive steps into the wider galaxy. Our engineering solutions have taken …read more

Hackaday Podcast Ep 007 – Everything Microcontrollers, Deadly Clock Accuracy, CT X-Rays, Mountains Of E-Waste

Posted on by

Elliot Williams and Mike Szczys look at all that’s happening in hackerdom. This week we dive deep into super-accurate clock chips, SPI and microcontroller trickery, a new (and cheap) part on the microcontroller block, touch-sensitive cloth, and taking a home X-ray to the third dimension. We’re saying our goodbyes to …read more
