Powered by differentiable imaging, Uncertainty - Aware Fourier Ptychography (UA - FP) revolutionizes computational imaging. It models uncertainties without complex calibration, enabling high - quality reconstructions despite system flaws, and opens doors to diverse applications.

An international research team led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has, for the first time, succeeded in visualizing and quantifying the complex airflow dynamics directly above the ocean surface in high resolution. Using an innovative laser measurement system, previously unknown and highly complex mechanisms of energy exchange between wind and waves have been deciphered — a significant step forward for climate research, weather models, and ocean dynamics. The research findings have been published in Nature Communications.

A research team from the Harbin Institute of Technology have fabricated tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide (WₓV₁₋ₓO₂) films that exhibit exceptional dynamic radiative properties, paving the way for innovative thermal management systems. The integration of advanced in situ characterization methodologies, the team has elucidated the fundamental relationships between fabrication process parameters and the temperature-dependent optoelectronic properties of the film.

The new polycrystalline WₓV₁₋ₓO₂ films demonstrated a remarkable ability to modulate infrared radiation in response to temperature changes. By precisely controlling oxygen flow rates and post-annealing temperatures during fabrication, scientists have achieved materials capable of dynamically adjusting their emissivity range from 0.25 to 0.87 within the atmospheric transparency window. This significant range allows buildings and devices to optimize heat loss or retention adaptively, greatly reducing energy consumption.
