BrainChip secures $2.7m US Air Force contract for radar signal technology Machine learning specialist BrainChip (ASX: BRN) has secured a contract worth approximately $2.7 million with the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The contract covers neuromorphic radar signal processing and was awarded under the SBIR program, which funds research and development by small businesses to support US government missions. Neuromorphic engineering mimics the way the human brain works by designing hardware and software that simulate neural and synaptic functions to process information. Multiple platforms “Radar signal processing will be implemented on multiple mobile platforms, so minimising system size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) is critical,” chief executive officer Sean Hehir said. The contract award follows the successful demonstration of radar processing algorithms running on BrainChip’s commercial off-the-shelf neuromorphic hardware. “This partnership to improve radar signal applicat...

Fiber Optic Network Spots Spacecraft's Return to Earth Researchers scrambled to assemble a fiber optic cable network to try and detect the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft's return to Earth in 2023. Elisa McGhee Meteors regularly blaze through Earth’s atmosphere with potentially devastating effects. Now scientists reveal they used kilometers of fiber optics to analyze shockwaves from a NASA spacecraft returning to Earth, suggesting that existing telecom fiber networks might help shed light on the natural cosmic impacts that constantly pepper our planet. Approximately 100,000 tonnes of meteors fall on Earth each year at hypersonic speeds—up to roughly 262,000 kilometers per hour. Scientists would like to analyze meteor trajectories in greater detail to learn more about the risks they might pose, but the generally unpredictable nature of meteors makes that difficult. A chance to remedy that problem came with the return of NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, a...

Transparent device harvests radio frequency and solar power to improve power outputs Transparent device harvests radio frequency and solar power to improve power outputs lead image Wireless communications technology has transformed the world, but the devices, which are quickly growing in number, require a consistent and ample source of power. Dong et al. developed a transparent device that harvests energy from two sources — radio waves and the sun — to power a wide range of wireless devices. The breakthrough represents a significant step forward in optimizing energy conversion, since previous systems typically focused on harvesting either radio frequency or solar power, but not both. For example, coupling the energy harvester device with a solar cell increases the solar cell’s maximum power output by 13.11%. Furthermore, the device demonstrates an optical transparency of over 80 percent, allowing it to be invisibly integrated into many next-generation wireless technologies as both an ...
