Yale scientists have developed a new microscopy technique called FLASH-PAINT, which allows researchers to view an unlimited number of different molecules within individual cells. This technique, published in Cell, utilizes imaging probes and an adapter that transiently binds to numerous targets, making it 100 times faster and more cost-efficient than current super-resolution microscopy techniques. The team hopes that FLASH-PAINT will enable visualization of complex subcellular processes, leading to new insights for disease treatment and potential diagnostic applications.

Microsoft has collaborated with Nvidia, AMD, and Intel to develop DirectSR, a new API aimed at simplifying super-resolution coding in PC gaming. DirectSR will provide a streamlined approach for developers to access the companies’ distinct approaches to graphical upscaling, including Nvidia’s DLSS, AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution, and Intel’s XeSS, through a common set of inputs and outputs. This technology aims to enhance visual quality in games without overburdening the GPU, and Microsoft plans to introduce DirectSR for developers in a public preview build of the Agility SDK, with more details to be revealed at the DirectX State of the Union on March 21 at GDC.

Microsoft is set to unveil its new super resolution graphics technology, DirectSR, as part of the DirectX 12 suite at GDC 2024. DirectSR aims to enhance visuals and performance using machine learning, potentially benefiting lower-end gaming devices and Xbox consoles. This move could unify existing solutions like NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FidelityFX, and Intel's XeSS, and may play a significant role in future console generations, particularly amid chip shortages. The new API, along with a shader interface and features for PIX, is expected to launch alongside a new Agility SDK.

Microsoft is testing a new "Automatic Super Resolution" AI-assisted upscaling feature for supported games in Windows 11, which increases video and image quality while improving performance. This feature, similar to NVIDIA's DLSS Super Resolution, uses AI to predict and add details to low-quality images, allowing for higher resolutions without sacrificing quality. It can be enabled using specialized tools and is currently being developed, so it's recommended to use it on a test device rather than a main computer.

Microsoft's latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26052 introduces a hidden AI feature called "Automatic Super Resolution," which uses artificial intelligence to upscale videos for smoother gameplay with enhanced details. This feature, not officially revealed in the release notes, can be enabled using the latest version of ViveTool. While it's not clear how the upscaler will work, it's believed that only devices with specialized hardware, like a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU), will be able to take advantage of it.

Microsoft is set to introduce its own AI-powered Super Resolution technology in the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 update, which will work across all PCs with sufficient AI NPU performance. The technology will enhance gaming performance and visuals by utilizing AI for smoother gameplay and enhanced details. Users will have the option to enable the technology on a per-game basis and choose between GPU or NPU processing. This move aligns with the increasing demand for AI hardware, with AMD and Intel also offering similar AI NPU capabilities in their latest chips. The introduction of Microsoft's AI Super Resolution technology is expected to provide a competitive edge in the upscaling tech market.

Microsoft is reportedly working on adding super resolution technology to Windows applications, as discovered within the Windows 11 insider build of 24H2 release. The feature, potentially named "Automatic Super Resolution," would allow users to enable upscaling technologies for applications and games, running on NPU/AI-cores and GPU tensor cores. This innovation could significantly enhance the visual experience for users, especially in media players and a broader spectrum of games, and is expected to be included in the Windows 11 24H2 build set to be released later this year.

Meta has introduced a new developer feature called Super Resolution for its Quest VR headset, aimed at improving the visual quality of VR apps and games. Super Resolution offers better quality upscaling at similar costs as previous techniques, using an edge-aware scaling and sharpening algorithm developed in collaboration with the Qualcomm Graphics Team. Developers can opt-in to the feature, but its benefits will vary depending on the content. The feature is available for apps built on the Quest V55 update and later, and can also be enabled for Quest Link (Oculus Link) users for PC VR content.

Two independent teams have used a super-resolution tool called MINFLUX to study molecular motors called kinesins in near-real time at physiologically relevant concentrations of ATP. The teams were able to track the protein in 3D and capture side-stepping, stalling, and hops from one microtubule to another. The new technology could open multiple research avenues, especially if it allows researchers to track several proteins or several sites in proteins at once.

Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen in Germany have developed a new microscopy technique called ONE microscopy that can achieve resolutions below 1 nm, revealing the shape of individual proteins. The technique combines the physics-beating super-resolution methods and expansion microscopy to offer a level of detail that eclipses even that of multi-million-dollar ‘super-resolution’ microscopes. The ONE microscopy technique is straightforward to apply and works with now-antiquated fluorescent microscopes from the 1990s, making it accessible to researchers in low and middle-income countries.

NVIDIA plans to release a Frame Generation plugin for game developers to implement DLSS3 technology into their software. The plugin will be available through NVIDIA Streamline, an open-source framework for integrating super resolution technologies. Alternatively, developers will have access to the Unreal Engine 5.2 DLSS3 plugin, which will be released soon. NVIDIA also announced that DLSS3 adoption is seven times faster than DLSS in the first six months since the technology's introduction, and several new games, including Diablo IV and Forza Horizon 5, will support DLSS3 with Frame Generation technology.
