Abstract: Discrete chaotic systems based on memristors exhibit excellent dynamical properties and are more straightforward to implement in hardware, making them highly suitable for generating ...

Step aside, Google Maps; stand down, Apple Maps. Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany have created a new online atlas that shows the location of 2.75 billion buildings ...

Last October, U.S. troops demonstrated just how far additive manufacturing has come by successfully 3D printing drone parts inside a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter mid-flight. As the aircraft carried out ...

The open-data GlobalBuildingAtlas is the first high-resolution 3D map of 2.75 billion buildings worldwide. Derived from satellite imagery by researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), it ...
