AI headphones let wearer listen to a single person in a crowd, by looking at them just once

Engineers have developed an artificial intelligence system that lets someone wearing headphones look at a person speaking for three to five seconds to ‘enroll’ them. The system then plays just the enrolled speaker’s voice in real time, even as the pair move around in noisy environments.

Unlocking complex sulfur molecules: Novel approach for synthesis of functionalized benzenethiol equivalents

Organosulfur skeletons are crucial in many fields, including pharmaceuticals and electronics. Synthesizing organosulfur skeletons requires o-bromobenzenethiols. However, conventional methods face challenges due to quick oxidation and formation of highly reactive intermediates. Researchers have now developed a new method for synthesizing o-bromobenzenethiols from aryne intermediates via bromothiolation. This method can pave the way for the synthesis

Producing novel liquid crystals by stacking antiaromatic units

In a recent study, researchers developed modified norcorrole molecules whose side chains favored the formation of columnar -stacking structures. Using these compounds, they produced liquid crystals with high electrical conductivity and thermotropic properties. Their findings open up new design avenues for materials useful in electronics, sensing, optics, and biomedicine.
