NASA’s space life sciences research programs have built a long history of helping us explore space safely. Starting with missions such as Skylab and the Space Shuttle Program, and continuing […]
AI – Data – Apps – Cybernetics
Avatar Tech: Breakthrough AI Model Can Translate The Language Of Plant Life
A pioneering Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered model able to understand the sequences and structure patterns that make up the genetic “language” of plants, has been launched by a research collaboration.
Non-Living Intelligence: Cracking The Code For Materials That Can Learn
It’s easy to think that machine learning is a completely digital phenomenon, made possible by computers and algorithms that can mimic brain-like behaviors.
Machine Learning Used To Classify Fossils Of Extinct Pollen – Offworld Astrobiology Applications?
Editor’s note: when we begin to study inhabited worlds we are going to have to take a stab at something that has taken centuries on Earth: systematic classification of life […]
NASA Exoplanet Archive: Getting CUTE With New Data
The archive has added a new dataset by NASA’s Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE)CubeSat. The mission is measuring near-ultraviolet transmission spectroscopy of a dozen Jupiter- and Neptune-sized planets and monitoring […]
DARWEN: Data-driven Algorithm for Reduction of Wide Exoplanetary Networks
Exoplanet atmospheric modeling is advancing from chemically diverse one-dimensional (1D) models to three-dimensional (3D) global circulation models (GCMs), which are crucial for interpreting observations from facilities like the James Webb […]
A Signal Discovery Step In Interstellar Communication
Prior work using synchronized, geographically spaced radio telescopes, and a radio interferometer, suggests that narrow-bandwidth polarized pulse pair measurements repeatedly falsify a noise-cause hypothesis, given a prior celestial direction of […]
Planetary Weather Modeling Advance: GenCast Predicts Earth’s Weather With State-of-the-art Accuracy
Editor’s note: We should all stop every once in a while and remember that Earth – our home world – is a planet too. We have the benefit of living […]
The Multimodal Universe: Enabling Large-Scale Machine Learning with 100TB of Astronomical Scientific Data
We present the MULTIMODAL UNIVERSE, a large-scale multimodal dataset of scientific astronomical data, compiled specifically to facilitate machine learning research.
Detectability Of Biosignatures In Warm, Water-rich Atmospheres
Warm rocky exoplanets within the habitable zone of Sun-like stars are favoured targets for current and future missions. Theory indicates these planets could be wet at formation and remain habitable […]
