Deeply Subwavelength Blue-Range Nanolaser
Modern high-definition display and augmented reality technologies require the development of ultracompact micro- and nano-pixels with colors covering the full gamut and high brightness. In this regard, lasing nano-pixels emitting light in the spectral range 400-700 nm are highly demanded. Despite progress in red, green, and ultraviolet nanolasers, the demonstrated blue-range (400-500 nm) single-particle-based lasers are still not subwavelength yet. Here we fabricate CsPbCl$_3$ cubic-shaped sing…

«A lot of management exists in a world where they don't understand exactly what their subordinates are doing. They've relied on listening to people and judging how accurate it sounds. AI is like catnip to these people - it outputs sounds like what a skilled person would say.»
This is too accurate and tells you how useless large parts of the managerial class are.

Adaptique: Multi-objective and Context-aware Online Adaptation of Selection Techniques in Virtual Reality
Selection is a fundamental task that is challenging in virtual reality due to issues such as distant and small targets, occlusion, and target-dense environments. Previous research has tackled these challenges through various selection techniques, but complicates selection and can be seen as tedious outside of their designed use case. We present Adaptique, an adaptive model that infers and switches to the most optimal selection technique based on user and environmental information. Adaptique con…

Most cloud companies have pledged to return more water to communities than they consume by 2030. But datacentre water consumption is rising inline with corporate thirst for cloud services. How are CSPs doing at making targets for water conservation a reality?

Ontology-Aligned Embeddings for Data-Driven Labour Market Analytics
The limited ability to reason across occupational data from different sources is a long-standing bottleneck for data-driven labour market analytics. Previous research has relied on hand-crafted ontologies that allow such reasoning but are computationally expensive and require careful maintenance by human experts. The rise of language processing machine learning models offers a scalable alternative by learning shared semantic spaces that bridge diverse occupational vocabularies without extensive…

Did you just see that? Arbitrary view synthesis for egocentric replay of operating room workflows from ambient sensors
Observing surgical practice has historically relied on fixed vantage points or recollections, leaving the egocentric visual perspectives that guide clinical decisions undocumented. Fixed-camera video can capture surgical workflows at the room-scale, but cannot reconstruct what each team member actually saw. Thus, these videos only provide limited insights into how decisions that affect surgical safety, training, and workflow optimization are made. Here we introduce EgoSurg, the first framework …

Experimental device-independent certification of indefinite causal order
Understanding the physical world fundamentally relies on the assumption that events are temporally ordered, with past events serving as causes for future ones. However, quantum mechanics permits events to occur in a superposition of causal orders, providing new types of quantum resources for quantum information tasks. Previous demonstrations of indefinite causal order have relied on a process known as quantum switch and depended on specific assumptions about the devices used in the laboratory. …

On the edge eigenvalues of sparse random geometric graphs
In this paper, we study the edge eigenvalues of random geometric graphs (RGGs) generated by multivariate Gaussian samples in the sparse regime under a broad class of distance metrics. Previous work on edge eigenvalues under related setups has relied on methods based on integral operators or the Courant-Fischer min-max principle with interpolation. However, these approaches typically require either a dense regime or sampling distributions that are compactly supported and non-vanishing, and there…
