- A Multi-Level Breakthrough in Optical Computing: A Faster, More Efficient, and Robust Memory Cell
➀ An international team of electrical engineers has developed a new method for photonic in-memory computing that could make optical computing a reality in the near future.
➁ The research addresses the limitations of optical memory by combining non-volatility, multibit storage, high switching speed, low switching energy, and high endurance.
➂ The technology uses magneto-optic memory cells with ultra-high endurance and nanosecond speeds, enabling direct integration into today's computer technology.

- Scientists Unlock Secret of 'Girl With Pearl Earring'➀ Scientists have measured the brain's reaction to Johannes Vermeer's 'Girl With The Pearl Earring' and discovered a neurological phenomenon called 'Sustained Attentional Loop'; ➁ The painting captivates viewers by drawing their eyes in a specific sequence, leading to increased viewing time; ➂ The study, using EEG and MRI, found that the painting's unique focus points stimulate the brain's precuneus, the area responsible for consciousness and personal identity; ➃ The emotional response to the original painting was found to be ten times stronger than that to a reproduction, highlighting the importance of original art viewing.
