• Artificial Intelligence: How to Regulate Human-Machine Interaction?

  …es wrong? Will we have reduced salaries due to some tasks being done by robots? To give answer to these questions, it is necessary to regulate the process of AI development and interaction of humans and computers. "How to answer such questions, if we still have no efficient rules for human-human interaction?," comments Anton Pyrkin, h…

• ITMO’s Researchers for Nature: How Does New Ultra-Compact Laser Work?

  …e is no perfect mirror; that is why light "disappears" from this structure. BICs allows localizing and increasing resonance. "Usually to confine light, mirrors, total internal reflection effect and various periodical structures are used. The effective light confining requires large devices. Using bound states in the continuum, one can create compact lasers. Ashok K…

  …e most widespread elements in the world, so producing these batteries is quite cheap. The scientists use silicon anodes. However, silicon’s expansion and compression, caused by interaction with electrolytes, leads to its' destruction. The scientists plan to solve this problem by using something else instead of the anode. However it is n…
