The scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology has
created a perfect mirror that will reflect 100 perfect of light shoning on it.
The reflecting device called photonic crystal mirror is made up of silicon
nitride punctuated with super-tiny holes(smaller than the wavelength of visible
length). When a specific frequency of red light was shone on the surface of
crystal at a angle of 35 degree, 100 percent of light reflected back as light
waves trying to enter the holes collided and cancelled each other out. These perfect mirror could be used in fiber optics to provide greater range and speed.
Smacc , which uses AI to automate accounting, has secured a 3.5 million Series A round from Cherry Ventures, Rocket Internet, Dieter von Holtzbrinck Ventures, Grazia Equity and business angels. Smacc offers small and medium-sized enterprises a platform to digitize and automate accounting and financial processes. The founding trio Uli Erxleben, Janosch Novak and Stefan Korsch came up with the idea after find accounting to be the most painful part of their own startup. Erxleben managed Rocket Internet’s US ventures in New York and San Francisco, and is also the founder of Berliner Berg , a craft beer startup. Customers submit their receipts to Smacc, which are turned into a machine-readable format, encrypted, then allocated to an account. The platform gradually also self-learns, tracking invoices, sales and costs, as well as their liquidity.
