Ultra-broadband near-field Josephson microwave microscopy

Researchers have created a superconducting Josephson probe microscope that combines high sensitivity, resolution, and low bias magnetic fields. The device enables spatial-resolved microwave imaging with sub-micrometer resolution, making it suitable for applications in quantum computing, magnonics, and high-frequency electronics.

Tracking the color of light

Researchers developed a new spectroscopy method using tunable lasers, enabling precise tracking of the laser's color at every point in time. The technique offers higher power and spectral stability compared to existing methods, making it suitable for various applications including LIDAR and spectroscopy.

Using spectroscopy to measure visual recognition

A team of scientists used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure brain activity in two key visual regions, the lateral occipital complex (LOC) and fusiform face area (FFA). The study found that fNIRS successfully measured LOC activity but had limitations in detecting FFA activity due to its depth. This research has th...
