Every body emits thermal radiation, which we make visible using an infrared camera. This helps answer questions such as: “Am I a ‘cold nose’ or a ‘warm nose’?” or “Where can a mouse hide from a snake?”
A tray with a glass of water should be kept level. A microcontroller issues a warning if the tray tilts, using two approaches: classically programmed versus trained using sample data. In doing so, we examine the question of when we can refer to it as “AI.”
In an era of rising antibiotic resistance, the rapid characterization of the bacteria causing the infection is becoming increasingly important. We demonstrate how new optical and spectroscopic methods can contribute to this effort.
Y-Space is a research project aimed at developing a UAV carrier platform capable of briefly generating true microgravity (≤ 0.1 g, up to 10 seconds, 3 kg payload). The goal is to create a mobile, cost-effective alternative to parabolic flights.
