A conductor whose purpose is to emit and/or receive electromagnetic waves using the bulk oscillations of electric charges within the conductor. The conduction electrons in antennas are free to move throughout the conductor. The electrons form a bulk…

The subfield of computer science concerned with understanding the nature of intelligence and constructing computer systems capable of intelligent behavior. Many activities, such as perception, learning, planning, natural language, and understanding,…

The ongoing lower level of species extinction intensity occurring between episodes of mass extinctions. Extinction is a normal part of the history of life. Out of every 100 species that have ever lived on Earth, 99 are no longer in existence.…

Cameras in mobile phones or smartphones that can capture images and videos.The cellphone, the world’s favorite must-have gadget, has been with us for nearly a half-century, while experiencing continuous and often phenomenal improvements. Much of the…

Neuroscientists have long sought to explain how the brain correctly recognizes a stimulus despite the stimulus appearing under different circumstances with widely variable external factors. For example, with regard to olfactory stimuli, humans can…

A branch of computer science that deals with the theory and techniques of computer-generated images. Computers produce images by analyzing a collection of dots, or pixels (picture elements). Computer graphics is used to enhance the transfer and…

A radar system used to measure the relative velocity of targets and their position. The operation of these systems is based on the fact that the Doppler frequency shift in the target echo is proportional to the radial component of target velocity.…
