The Dark Magic of Fusion Control Systems
Fusion is the promise of a clean, unlimited-fuel and low-risk energy source of the future. In recent years, the pursuit of fusion energy has transitioned from a solely scientific challenge to a commercially attractive goal, thanks to the rise of innovative startup companies. The global need for a sustainable, carbon-free energy source has given these companies a key role in pushing towards commodifying compact fusion reactors designed for industrial power plants.
Vitis-Ai demo on ZCU104
This page summarizes all steps required to run Vitis-Ai examples on ZCU104 development board. Host development tools are built for CentOS and Ubuntu. I would suggest you to install a virtual machine with at least 100GB of storage.
Custom Petalinux platform for AI (Tutorial)
This article outlines the process of creating a Petalinux image for ZCU104 development board, that is capable of processing machine learning models on dedicated hardware implemented on FPGA.
A Checklist for a Modern Control System
In the last decade, control system development for Big Science facilities has become an established engineering discipline and less of a scientific endeavour that it expectedly was, at times, characterised by the “not-invented-here” viewpoint.
The Future of Radiation Therapy with Online Adaptive
Online adaptive radiation therapy is currently a hot topic in radiation oncology. But what does the radiation therapy industry have to do to really bring online adaptive into clinical applications? Cosylab is a medical software company that has always worked towards making “adaptive” commonplace in the clinic for effective and affordable radiation therapy. For example, we co-founded the international RAPTOR project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. RAPTOR’s mission is close to our heart and vision: how to bring Real-time Adaptive Particle Therapy of cancer to the clinic.
Bringing a Revolutionary Quantum Microscope to Market in Only Six Months
Qnami is a young quantum technology startup based in Basel, Switzerland. With more than 60 years of collective Quantum knowledge, Qnami’s team enthusiastically develops microscopy solutions based on quantum sensors to measure minute magnetic fields with unprecedented sensitivity and spatial resolution. Qnami ProteusQ is the first complete Quantum Microscope system. It is a scanning NV (Nitrogen-Vacancy) microscope for room temperature analysis of magnetic materials at the atomic scale.
Reliable Laser Communications Between Space and Ground
In March 2022, Cosylab organised the conference discussion “Enabling reliable infrastructure for laser communications between space and ground” at the Paris Space Week 2022. The roundtable discussion was moderated by Cosylab’s Tadej Pukl and included the following panellists: Daniel J.M. Hendrix from Airbus Defence & Space Dutch Technology (ADS NL), Olivier Jacques-Sermet from Cailabs and Miha Vitorovic and Harshraj Raiji from Cosylab. The roundtable discussed the increasingly important domain of optical communication between ground and space, both in its current state and regarding future developments, including market trends.
BNCT Part II: Industrial Aspects
Irradiating cancer cells from “the inside out” without affecting healthy tissue has been a dream of medical physicists and oncologists for almost a century.
Advanced Radiation Therapy
With advances in radiation therapy, cancer treatment has come a long way in the last twenty years. Therapy with high-energy photons from medical linacs has become the mainstay of oncology and saves millions of lives each year. At the same time, a multitude of advanced radiation therapy modalities has reached maturity, such as particle, boron neutron capture and heavy-ion therapy. The clinical and manufacturer communities are now concentrating on optimising, leveraging and consolidating the performance and capabilities of specific subsystems and elements of radiation therapy devices and facilities worldwide.
