For decades, scientists believed a fertilized egg’s DNA began as a shapeless mass, only organizing itself once the embryo switched on its genes. But new research reveals that the genome is already ...

Desktop Metal, a billion-dollar start-up, promised to revolutionize manufacturing. It went bankrupt, and now has much humbler ...

Webb maps Uranus’s upper atmosphere, revealing cooling temperatures, shifting auroras, and the effects of its tilted magnetic field.

Uranus does not behave like an ordinary planet. Its magnetic field tilts by nearly 60 degrees and sits off-center, so the ...

Chinese researchers have published new peer-reviewed findings and orbital experiment data that advance the science behind high-entropy alloys, a class of materials with direct relevance to hypersonic ...

Explore Python Physics Lesson 8 and discover how energy shapes orbits with clear, step-by-step graphs and simulations. This lesson explains the relationship between kinetic and potential energy in ...

Official repository for the CVPR 2024 best paper award candidate paper: SpiderMatch: 3D Shape Matching with Global Optimality and Geometric Consistency by Paul Roetzer and Florian Bernard (University ...

The collaboration with PSIONIC accelerates the transition from terrestrial analysis and mission preparation to operational, autonomous, and edge-enabled space battle management with the appropriate ...

Abstract: Service robots have attracted extensive attention due to specially designed functions, such as mobile manipulators or robots with extra structures. For robots that have changing shapes, ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at building data centers in orbit, the new inductees to the National Inventors Hall of Fame, 3D-printed housing and more. To get The Prototype in your ...

On Friday, when SpaceX filed plans with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a million-satellite data center network, you might have thought Elon Musk was having a bit of fun with us. But a ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a weakly-supervised approach for 3D object detection, which makes it possible to train a strong 3D detector with position-level annotations (i.e. annotations of ...
