Work Function Mapping Across a-In2Se3 to α-In2Se3 to γ-InSe in RF-Sputtered Thin Films
Indium selenide is a phase-change chalcogenide whose polymorphism enables a variety of physical properties to be tuned. Here we directly quantify the evolution of the surface work function across the amorphous-to-crystalline transition in RF-sputtered In2Se3 thin films grown on c-plane Al2O3 (001). By varying deposition temperature (100-500 °C) and film thickness, we establish processing windows for a- In2Se3, α-In2Se3, and γ-InSe, and correlate structure with electronic and morphological pr…

SynthID-Image: Image watermarking at internet scale
We introduce SynthID-Image, a deep learning-based system for invisibly watermarking AI-generated imagery. This paper documents the technical desiderata, threat models, and practical challenges of deploying such a system at internet scale, addressing key requirements of effectiveness, fidelity, robustness, and security. SynthID-Image has been used to watermark over ten billion images and video frames across Google's services and its corresponding verification service is available to trusted test…

Welcome back - been busy the last days with meeting friends etc 🙂
But I wanted to show some more #photos from the #Lotharsteig in the #nationalparkschwarzwald . Different from …

A serene scene of a wooden path winding its way through a lush forest is captured in this image. The path is surrounded by tall trees with green leaves, creating a canopy overhead. The forest floor is covered with grass and various types of vegetation. In the background, the forest continues on, creating a peaceful and natural landscape. The image evokes a sense of tranquility and connection to nature.
A close-up photo of a sign mounted on a tree stump in a natural outdoor setting. The image shows a wooden path cutting through tall grass, leading up to the tree stump. The tree stump is surrounded by lush greenery, with a tree in the background with green leaves. The sign appears weathered and worn, possibly indicating directions or information for visitors. The color palette of the scene is predominantly grey, with accents of blue in the sky. The overall atmosphere suggests a peaceful nature …

A close-up image of a fern is displayed, showcasing intricate details of the plant's structure. The fern is vibrant green in color and stands out against a dark black background. The image captures the beauty of nature, with the fern leaf prominently featured. The fern is a terrestrial plant, commonly found in jungles and forests. The image highlights the plant stem and branches, emphasizing the lush vegetation of the outdoors.

Echo-4o: Harnessing the Power of GPT-4o Synthetic Images for Improved Image Generation
Recently, GPT-4o has garnered significant attention for its strong performance in image generation, yet open-source models still lag behind. Several studies have explored distilling image data from GPT-4o to enhance open-source models, achieving notable progress. However, a key question remains: given that real-world image datasets already constitute a natural source of high-quality data, why should we use GPT-4o-generated synthetic data? In this work, we identify two key advantages of syntheti…

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
An interesting survival mechanism of zooplankton is the production of resistant resting or diapause eggs. Calanoid and harpacticoid copepods, rotifers, and cladocerans (as ephippia) do this when conditions are poor due to overcrowding, predation, drought, or water quality. These eggs can hatch after decades or even centuries in an egg bank. This helps to explain …
