Biological Research And Self-driving Labs In Deep Space Supported By Artificial Intelligence

by Keith CowingFebruary 8, 2024February 8, 2024

Space biology research aims to understand fundamental effects of spaceflight on organisms, develop foundational knowledge to support deep space exploration, and ultimately bioengineer spacecraft and habitats to stabilize the ecosystem […]

Neural network training of varKodes for species identification. (A) Effect of k-mer length and data amount used to produce varKodes on validation accuracy. Longer k-mers increase accuracy when more data are used. Mixing varKodes subsampled from different amounts of data improves accuracy. Box with dashed line (k-mer length = 7) strikes a good balance between model accuracy and amount of required data. (B) Validation accuracy improves with increased number of training samples per species, but even 3–4 samples are sufficient in most cases for achieving high accuracy. Each solid line represents one sample, colored by DNA quality (i.e., variation in base pair frequencies). Higher rank indicates better quality. Dashed lines represent averages across all samples. -- ecoevorxiv.org

Octofitter: Fast, Flexible, and Accurate Orbit Modelling to Detect Exoplanets

by Keith CowingFebruary 6, 2024

As next-generation imaging instruments and interferometers search for planets closer to their stars, they must contend with increasing orbital motion and longer integration times. These compounding effects make it difficult […]

An international team of astronomers using the VIMOS instrument of ESO’s Very Large Telescope have uncovered a colossal structure in the early Universe. This galaxy proto-supercluster — which they nickname Hyperion — was unveiled by new measurements and a complex examination of archive data. This is the largest and most massive structure yet found at such a remote time and distance — merely 2 billion years after the Big Bang. This visualization shows Hyperion and is based on real data. -- ESO Larger image
