A Scalable Platform for Massively Parallel Superconducting Single‐Photon Detection

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
One hundred independent superconducting nanowire detectors, each with efficiency up to 80.1–98.3%, are integrated into a single compact system operating below 2.1 K. This parallel architecture supports fully connected multi‐user quantum entanglement distribution, while its scalability opens new avenues in optical quantum computing, QKD networks ...

Heterogeneous Integration of Multi‐Band Mode‐Locked and Single‐Mode Lasers on an Extended Commercial SiN Platform

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Micro‐transfer printing enables GaAs and InP gain materials to be integrated on a commercial silicon nitride photonic platform. The resulting chip supports O‐ and C‐band comb and single‐mode lasers, demonstrating a scalable route toward multi‐material, multi‐wavelength, and multifunctional integrated light sources.

Using participatory scenario planning to explore the synergies and trade‐offs from upland treescape expansion

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The future of land use in the UK uplands is highly debated, with growing interest in increasing tree cover and other land use changes, alongside a desire to maintain traditional land use patterns and practices. Treescape expansion is likely to result in synergies and trade‐offs between different outcomes, so integrating stakeholder preferences

Technical wildness: Modernity, romanticism, and the technocratic turn in Scottish rewilding

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Technical wildness is a new and increasingly influential culture of nature. This paper marks its emergence in Scotland in the early 2020s. Focusing on Scotland's rapidly evolving land management sector, the paper traces how private rewilding companies position science‐led land management and natural capital markets as the most effective ...

Digital fire technologies and community networks: Cultivating just sociotechnical practices for living with planetary change

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

LiDAR-HMR: 3D Human Mesh Recovery From LiDAR

IEEE Transactions on Multimedia
In recent years, point cloud perception tasks have been garnering increasing attention. This paper presents the first attempt to estimate 3D human body mesh from sparse LiDAR point clouds. We found that the major challenge in estimating human pose and mesh from point clouds lies in the sparsity, noise, and incompletion of LiDAR point clouds.

Remote sensing and citizen science for habitat mapping: A machine learning approach to lowland heathland in Surrey, UK

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In a time of extensive global biodiversity loss, conservation efforts increasingly rely on high‐resolution, accurate, up‐to‐date habitat maps to guide decision‐making and strategic interventions. Many products have been developed in response, using machine learning (ML) methods to automate habitat classification, often relying on satellite ...

Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

Rewilding's technological experiments: Virtual reality and scalable narratives of rewilding in the Scottish highlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Depictions of rewilded landscapes reveal the underlying principles shaping the future of rewilding. This paper analyses a virtual reality (VR) model of a rewilding project in the Scottish Highlands that is advertised as a vision of a rewilded nature in 50 to 100 years' time.
