The design of systems to replicate complex neural functionality is a requirement for the development of next-generation prosthetic devices. The demands of such neural models are growing exponentially as we discover more about how brain systems function. It is therefore important for the electronic architectures involved to scale effectively in terms of latency, area and power usage in order to be able to process more advanced neural models. Within this paper a design is proposed that utilises the parallel nature and the resources available upon modern FPGAs to achieve a scalable and efficient method for the implementation of complex neural models, allowing for the simulation of 150000 ion channels concurrently.

A combinatory approach of Step-and-Flash Imprint Lithography (SFIL) and Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching (MacEtch) was used to generate near perfectly-ordered, high aspect ratio silicon nanowires (SiNWs) on 4” silicon wafers. The ordering and shapes of SiNWs depends only on the SFIL nanoimprinting mould used, thereby enabling arbitary SiNW patterns not possible with nanosphere and interference lithography (IL) to be generated. Very densely packed SiNWs with periodicity finer than that permitted by conventional photolithography can be produced. The height of SiNWs is, in turn, controlled by the etching duration. However, it was found that very high aspect ratio SiNWs tend to be bent during processing. Hexagonal arrays of SiNW with circular and hexagonal cross-sections of dimensions 200nm and less were produced using pillar and pore patterned SFIL moulds. In summary, this approach allows highlyordered SiNWs to be fabricated on a wafer-level basis suitable for semiconductor device manufacturing.

The dynamics of multi-agent in nature have been largely studied for a long time to investigate how the aggregation of agents can move smoothly in complex environments without collision. The main insights can be summarized such that the aggregated dynamics of animals and particles can be explained by an individual's simple rules. In a similar vein, we conjecture that such simple rules for vehicle maneuvering can accommodate the fluid flow of traffic and reduce car accidents in highway and urban areas. In this paper, we first show the Reynolds' three rules are applicable to autonomous driving on a single lane. Moreover, we provide additional requirements and algorithms for multiple lanes. Based on these results, we show that the proposed nature-inspired driving maneuver can increase traffic flow by 1) mitigating shockwave at bottlenecks and 2) extending the perception range for better path planning, which requires the support of the vehicle autonomy and wireless communication, respectively. Finally, we prove the feasibility of our work with experiments using multiple UAVs.
We study supercontinuum generation using numerical simulations of the nonlinear propagation along hollow-core fibers at different pump wavelengths ranging from 400 nm to 2 μm. A general hollow fiber compressor design...

Patches of ionization are common in the polar ionosphere where their motion and associated density gradients give variable disturbances to High Frequency (HF) radio communications, over-the-horizon radar location errors, and disruption and errors to satellite navigation and *** formation and evolution are poorly understood, particularly under disturbed space weather *** report direct observations of the full evolution of patches during a geomagnetic storm, including formation, polar cap entry, transpolar evolution, polar cap exit, and sunward return *** observations show that modulation of nightside reconnection in the substorm cycle of the magnetosphere helps form the gaps between patches where steady convection would give a "tongue" of ionization (TOI).
As the push for parallelism continues to increase the number of cores on a chip, system design has become incredibly complex;optimizing for performance and power efficiency is now nearly impossible for the application...

We report a direct measurement of the low-frequency noise spectrum in a superconducting flux qubit. Our method uses the noise sensitivity of a free-induction Ramsey interference experiment, comprising free evolution in the presence of noise for a fixed period of time followed by single-shot qubit-state measurement. Repeating this procedure enables Fourier-transform noise spectroscopy with access to frequencies up to the achievable repetition rate, a regime relevant to dephasing in ensemble-averaged time-domain measurements such as Ramsey interferometry. Rotating the qubit's quantization axis allows us to measure two types of noise: effective flux noise and effective critical-current or charge noise. For both noise sources, we observe that the very same 1/f-type power laws measured at considerably higher frequencies (0.2−20 MHz) are consistent with the noise in the 0.01−100-Hz range measured here. We find no evidence of temperature dependence of the noises over 65−200 mK, and also no evidence of time-domain correlations between the two noises. These methods and results are pertinent to the dephasing of all superconducting qubits.

The TUMOR project aims at developing a European clinically oriented semantic-layered cancer digital model repository from existing EU projects that will be interoperable with the US grid-enabled semantic-layered digital model repository platform at *** (Center for the Development of a Virtual Tumor, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Boston, USA) which is NIH/NCI-caGRID compatible. In this paper we describe the modular and federated architecture of TUMOR that effectively addresses model integration, interoperability, and security related issues.
