Music can help identify compromised IT networks. Thanks to AI, however, deep-fakes are becoming increasingly hard to detect. Enter a Hamburg startup and its new software platform, which protects image-based media from manipulation. The team’s patented trust-technology combines cryptography with computer-assisted image analysis. When image-material (photos, videos) is created using the platform, the camera’s properties are converted into a...

Printed circuit boards and mushrooms make an uncommon pair. Now, an international research team led from Glasgow has likewise taken nature as its inspiration, developing a semiconductor component for use in machine vision systems. The team’s prototype field-effect transistor recognises colours. Built on a glass substrate, it combines gold electrodes and light-sensitive hydrocarbon molecules with a layer of honey...

Special lenses reduce the likelihood of epileptic attacks. Novel hearing glasses make for more inclusive conversations. Now, a New York-based company has developed smart glasses for vision-impaired people or those with retinal diseases like age-related macular degeneration. The trick? Two cameras in the frames record the field of vision, while two inward-facing cameras capture the eye and its movement....

Vital functions can be checked through video calls. As for the digestive tract, doctors conducting endoscopies can be greatly aided by AI analysis. Soon, however, gastroscopic examinations could take place at home. Cue a Silicon Valley startup and its remotely controlled capsule. Fluid is consumed, after which the capsule is swallowed and left to float in the stomach. The...

Some glasses automatically adjust focus between near and distant objects. Many birds can see for miles while still recognising their immediate environment. Their retinas have a deep hollow, meaning they are more sensitive to light. With an additional fourth photoreceptor, they can also perceive blue, red, green and UV light. Inspired by this phenomenon, a Korean research team has...
