FireANTs, an open-source algorithm, combines AI optimization and geometry to quickly match complex medical images. The new method can accomplish what took weeks in minutes, detecting subtle changes that signal disease or cognitive decline, making it practical for clinical practice.
A joint research team has reported the discovery of buried palaeo-polygonal terrain beneath Utopia Planitia on Mars using the Zhurong rover's radar. This finding suggests that ancient Mars experienced a cold polar region and significant climate changes.
Researchers developed AI that extracts hidden equations of motion from observational data, creating models faithful to the laws of physics. This enables physics-based investigations and simulations for ecosystem sustainability, among other applications.
Researchers created a paper-like material that folds itself into new shapes in response to environmental humidity, with potential applications in self-folding envelopes and boxes. The material's ability to morph on demand could lead to the development of autonomous origami robots and other complex shapes.
Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tsinghua University presented additional, previously unknown geometries corresponding to all possible kinematical algebras. These geometries are classified into three relativistic geometries, absolute-time geometries, and absolute-space geometries, each with unique properties.
