Διάκριση ερευνητών του ΙΤΕ για την ανάπτυξη του συστήματος επεξεργασίας ήχου: SSDRC που βελτιώνει την αντίληψη λόγου σε θορυβώδη περιβάλλοντα.
Turn down the volume!
Noise in everyday life is a significant and growing problem that, according to the World Health Organisation, is responsible for many healthy years of life lost [1]. And it is not just traffic,mobile devices or so-called personal music equipment that is responsible, but speech itself. Anyone unfortunate enough to spend much time at a public transport interchange or airport is assailed by loud, distorted and repetitive announcements. Keeping the volume high is the easy way to ensure that anyone listening gets the message, especially in noisy environments, but is it the smartest solution?

Quantum tricks with laser light teach magnetic devices how to think ultra-fast
A USA-Greece collaboration of researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory & Iowa State University and at the University of Crete & the Foundation for Research & Technology - Hellas (FORTH) in Greece have found a new way to create small magnets by using short laser light pulses. In this way, they were able to switch magnetism at least 1000 times faster than in current magnetic devices. Magnetic switching is used to encode information in hard drives, magnetic memories, and other computing devices. The discovery reported in the April 4 issue of Nature opens the door to terahertz (1012 hertz) memory speeds and moves magnetic switching to the fast lane.

A full laser treatment has been provided to an old painting
Within the last month a thorough laser treatment has been performed to a painted panel by the research groups of the Photonics for Cultural Heritage activity of IESL-FORTH. The painting, which was “excavated” from the storage of the conservation laboratories of the National Gallery in London, is traveling around Europe in order to be examined by the latest developments in instrumentation and methodologies as regards scientific conservation of Cultural Heritage assets.
