Single-photon detector for potential encryption and sensing apps
In a single-photon detector, individual photons from a light source produce detectable electronic signals (large multicolored pulse at left), as well as pulses of electronic noise (subsequent, smaller signals) that
Expressing the value of data science in an ROI framework
Data science is rapidly becoming woven into the fabric of organizations of all sizes and types, and is driving significant societal and economic impact. Organizations are increasingly becoming data driven,
Holographic imaging and deep learning diagnose malaria
