Developing Ultra-Fast Plasmonic Spiking Neuron via Integrated Photonics

This research provides a proof of concept and background theory for the physics behind the state-of-the-art ultra-fast plasmonic spiking neurons (PSN), which can serve as a primary synaptic device for developing a platform for fast neural computing. Such a plasmonic-powered computing system allows localized AI with ultra-fast operation speed. The designed architecture for a plasmonic spiking neuron (PSN) presented in this thesis is a photonic integrated nanodevice consisting of two electro-optic and optoelectronic active components and works based on their coupling. The electro-optic active structure incorporated a periodic array of seeded quantum nanorods sandwiched between two electrodes and positioned at a near-field distance from the topmost metal layer of a sub-wavelength metal-oxide multilayer metamaterial. Three of the metal layers of the metamaterials form the active optoelectronic component. The device operates based on the coupling of the two active components through optical complex modes supported by the multilayer and switching between two of them. Both action and resting potentials occur through subsequent quantum and extraordinary photonics phenomena. These phenomena include the generation of plasmonic high-k complex modes, switching between the modes by enhanced quantum-confined stark effect, decay of the plasmonic excitations in each metal layer into hot-electrons, and collecting hot-electrons by …

An experimental and modeling study on auto-ignition kinetics of ammonia/methanol mixtures at intermediate temperature and high pressure (open access)

An experimental and modeling study on auto-ignition kinetics of ammonia/methanol mixtures at intermediate temperature and high pressure

Article describes how a rapid compression machine has been applied to measure the ignition delay times of NH3/CH3OH mixtures covering pressures of 20 and 40 bar, equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0, and temperatures between 845 and 1100 K. Analysis of the pressure profiles shows three distinct ignition modes for NH3/CH3OH mixtures, facilitated by the pre-ignition heat release from NH3 consumption. A detailed mechanism for ignition of NH3/CH3OH fuel blends has been developed, capable of reproducing the ignition behavior of mixtures with reasonable accuracy.

Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights: Making Automated Systems Work for the American People

White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has identified five principles that should guide the design, use, and deployment of automated systems to protect the American public in the age of artificial intelligence. The Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights is a guide for a society that protects all people from these threats--and uses technologies in ways that reinforce our highest values. Responding to the experiences of the American public, and informed by insights from researchers, technologists, advocates, journalists, and policymakers, this framework is accompanied by a technical companion--a handbook for anyone seeking to incorporate these protections into policy and practice, including detailed steps toward actualizing these principles in the technological design process. These principles help provide guidance whenever automated systems can meaningfully impact the public's rights, opportunities, or access to critical needs
