Researchers affiliated with Laval University evaluated a neural network that estimates power flows with fewer phasor measurement units on the IEEE 30-bus test grid. Results show that where sensors are placed can matter more than using the same number of devices.

A preprint from researchers in Italy and Germany links strain gradients in macroscopic bismuth selenide crystals to a stronger second-harmonic electrical response.
Michigan Tech researchers presented a self-supervised model that combines RGB and infrared images to identify existing wheel tracks on snow-covered roads. Tests on the ThermalTrack dataset found fewer missed tracks than with RGB alone.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
Your browser is sending a Global Privacy Control signal. Analytics is off by default; you may explicitly change this choice here.
