The new stereo camera beats lidar.

Lidar or laser radar might be the eye of the tiger. Researchers are operating systems that do not use active radars to avoid jamming and radio radiation that can uncover observers. The problem with lidar is that the system sends laser beams that can cause eye injuries if there is damage in the lens of that system. Also in some cases, the active laser rays can make the lidar system very visible. The lidar can also be used as a laser communicator making the system a multi-use tool.

But passive systems like low-light CCD technology using cameras that can point the cameras by connecting multiple pixels from both cameras can also be very accurate. Those camera systems can measure distances very effectively and accurately. Those CCD cameras can operate in almost total darkness. The AI-based software can interconnect those pixels from both cameras with extremely high accuracy.

It can used to detect aircraft, satellites, and ground objects. If the telescope uses the CCD-based stereo-imaging system it can measure distance to satellites accurately. This system is also immune to anti-radar stealth technology.

And that kind of system can replace lidars. That CCD-based stereo camera is created for working in robot cars. However, the engineers can install the same system in all systems. That requires very accurate distance measurements. If artillery or some other military system uses that triangular passive optical rangefinder. That means the system will not send any kind of radiation.

The passive detector and rangefinder make it impossible to locate the benefiting signals that the system sends. If the missile uses an optical passive camera-based homing system. The only thing that can detect it is radar and IR signature. But those kinds of missiles do not alarm electronic surveillance systems. This kind of system can use an inertial navigation system until they see targets. And that thing makes them immune to jamming. In terminal sequence, those missiles can use an optical image-based target recognition system which gives it pinpoint accuracy.

The new bendable sensor is like straight from the SciFi movies.

"Researchers at Osaka University have developed a groundbreaking flexible optical sensor that works even when crumpled. Using carbon nanotube photodetectors and wireless Bluetooth technology, this sensor enables non-invasive analysis and holds promise for advancements in imaging, wearable technology, and soft robotics. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, From Sci-Fi to Reality: Scientists Develop Unbreakable, Bendable Optical Sensor) The new sensor is like the net eye of bugs. But it's more accurate than any natural net eye. The system is based on flexible polymer film and nanotubes. The nanotubes let light travel through it. And then the film at the bottom of those tubes transforms that light into the image. This ultra-accurate CCD camera can see ultimate details in advanced materials. The new system can see the smallest deviation in the materials. And that thing makes it possible to improve safety on those layers. The ability to see ultra-small differences on surf

Quantum breakthrough: stable quantum entanglement at room temperature.

"Researchers have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature by embedding a light-absorbing chromophore within a metal-organic framework. This breakthrough, facilitating the maintenance of a quantum system’s state without external interference, marks a significant advancement for quantum computing and sensing technologies". (ScitechDaily, Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Stable Qubits at Room Temperature) Japanese researchers created stable quantum entanglement at room temperature. The system used a light-absorbing chromophore along with a metal-organic framework. This thing is a great breakthrough in quantum technology. The room-temperature quantum computers are the new things, that make the next revolution in quantum computing. This technology may come to markets sooner than we even think. The quantum computer is the tool, that requires advanced operating- and support systems. When the support system sees that the quantum entanglement starts to reach energy stability. I

Humans should be at the center of AI development.

"Experts advocate for human-centered AI, urging the design of technology that supports and enriches human life, rather than forcing humans to adapt to it. A new book featuring fifty experts from over twelve countries and disciplines explores practical ways to implement human-centered AI, addressing risks and proposing solutions across various contexts." (ScitechDaily, 50 Global Experts Warn: We Must Stop Technology-Driven AI) The AI is the ultimate tool for handling things that behave is predictable. Things like planets' orbiting and other mechanical things that follow certain natural laws are easy things for the AI. The AI might feel human, it can have a certain accent. And that thing is not very hard to program. It just requires the accent wordbook, and then AI can transform grammatically following text into text with a certain accent. Then the AI drives that data to the speech synthesizer. The accent mode follows the same rules as language translation programs. The ac
