How New Technologies Make Smart Systems Really Smart
… lots of filters a system looks for straight, skew and bent lines and builds a feature map using them. Then it makes the image smaller. Pooling layers analyze image parts, choose a section, which resembles the required model and then transfers it into the next layer. Image processing involves the following steps: the system "scans" an image, creates its feature map, …

What to Do if Photons Entangle You?
…ns that have less energy than the complete photon. These photons get entangled. To understand what this means, one has to imagine that these two photons turn around in certain directions. This movement is an abstract thing — in fact, each photon has polarization index, angular moment and a certain position. To cut a long story short, we will explain these physical…

The Wonder Material Destined to Change the World
…n inorganic semiconductors usually at temperatures close to absolute zero. Excitons are particularly necessary for optoelectronic devices because they pass through without much interaction with oncoming particles. They literally travel through the crystal without breaking it. In hybrid perovskites, excitons aren’t released because of the high binding energy, which is…
