For more than a century, pianists and music teachers have argued over whether a performer’s touch can actually change the tone color of a piano note — and now scientists say the answer is yes. Using a cutting-edge sensor system that tracked piano key movements at 1,000 frames per second, researchers discovered that elite pianists subtly manipulate keys in ways that listeners can genuinely hear, even if they’ve never played piano before.

Sony unveils the Lytia 910, its first LOFIC sensor, and it boasts 100dB dynamic range

Sony just announced its first LOFIC image sensor, the Lytia 910. “LOFIC” stands for “Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor”. In other words, it solves the issue of photodiodes becoming saturated by too much light by placing a capacitor next to each diode – this significantly increases the full well capacity of each pixel. According to Sony, the Lytia 910 will have 100dB of dynamic range – with a single exposure! For... Read more

Зелёный дашборд adoption — не отчёт. Разговор про AI, к которому ваш финдиректор готов лучше вас

Через квартал-другой в переговорку зайдёт финансовый директор и задаст инженерному руководителю простой вопрос: «Мы потратили на AI вот столько — что получили?» И руководитель откроет дашборд: adoption 87%, 100 ежедневных пользователей ассистента, тысячи промптов. А финдир посмотрит и скажет: «Это сколько вы потратили. Я спросил, что получили». Я работаю приглашённым CTO и этот разговор наблюдал уже не раз. Расскажу, почему дашборд адопшна его не переживает и что мерить вместо него.... Read more

Scientists discovered that rice behaves in a highly unusual way: it weakens under rapid compression but stays stronger when pressure is applied slowly. Using this effect, they engineered a new material that reacts differently to gentle movements and sudden impacts. The material can adapt its stiffness automatically, opening the door to safer soft robots and protective equipment that responds instantly to collisions. Read more

For nearly 700 years, Indigenous hunters repeatedly used a bison kill site in central Montana—then suddenly stopped, even though bison were still abundant. Researchers uncovered evidence that recurring, decades-long droughts likely made the site less practical by reducing access to the water needed to process large numbers of animals. At the same time, hunting groups were shifting toward larger, more coordinated operations that required dependable resources and specialized locations. Read more
