In this episode, we cover precise classification of recyclables with spectroscopy, a quantum method to defeat photoexcitation destruction, and a thermal imaging combo approach that turns night into day.
Traditionally, high exciton concentrations mean high rates of annihilation for photoexcitation, prompting negative effects on energy efficiency for things like solar cells. But researchers have found that quantum interference changes the game.
Thermal imaging, IR imaging, and machine learning—in the form of a new heat-assisted detection and ranging system—could be the winning combination for advancements in applications including autonomous devices, robotics, healthcare monitoring, and defense applications.
