Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GM-APDs) are highly sensitive light detectors, capable of detecting single photons. Photons of certain wavelengths, when absorbed by photodiodes, generate ...

We’re just a few years into the AI revolution, but AI systems are already improving decades-old computer science algorithms. Google’s AlphaEvolve AI, its latest coding agent for algorithm discovery, ...

Abstract— Multipliers are crucial components in processors and arithmetic logic units. The performance of microsystems, microcontrollers, and DSP processors is often evaluated based on the number of ...
