A start-up backed by tech giants IBM and Microsoft plans to build thousands of artificial reefs across the globe to fight climate change by restoring coral reef ecosystems.

The Reef Company plans to have its first reefs in the water by December 2022, and the firm is encouraging more corporations to fund reefs to help offset their carbon footprint.

“We have calculated we need to build 2500 reefs, each measuring 4 square kilometres, over the next 10 years to absorb the excess carbon we …

Kernel flow: A wearable device for noninvasive optical brain imaging

Recent advances in brain imaging techniques facilitate accurate, high-resolution observations of the brain and its functions. For example, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a widely used noninvasive imaging technique that employs near-infrared light (wavelength >700 nm) to determine the relative concentration of hemoglobin in the brain, via differences in the light absorption patterns of hemoglobin.…
