Solving a machine-learning mystery

Boston MA (SPX) Feb 08, 2023
Large language models like OpenAI's GPT-3 are massive neural networks that can generate human-like text, from poetry to programming code. Trained using troves of internet data, these machine-learning models take a small bit of input text and then predict the text that is likely to come next. But that's not all these models can do. Researchers are exploring a curious phenomenon known as in-

San Jose (SPX) Feb 08, 2023
Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS) has entered into an agreement to fly a PocketPod for FOSSA Systems ("FOSSA"), a Spanish company that offers global low-power Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity and in-space services through its satellite constellation, on a Vigoride mission targeted to launch in October 2023. Under the agreement with Momentus, FOSSA will be launching a picosatellite deployer

Today we made a three-sol plan for the weekend including contact science, lot of imaging, and a long drive back toward the previously attempted marker band drill target, Encanto. After additional exploration of the marker band, the team decided it was worth turning around and trying to drill again in the same general location as Encanto. I took on a new role as Engineering Uplink Lead (EUL

Curiosity successfully followed her tracks and is back near the Encanto drill site! With a beautiful workspace in view, the science and operations team had a busy day of planning on the "Marker band" surface. We assessed potential drill targets, selected targets for contact science, and planned imaging. When evaluating the rocks in the area for the best possible drill site, the team focuse

Asteroid impact in slow motion

Jena, Germany (SPX) Feb 08, 2023
Asteroid impacts are catastrophic events that create huge craters and sometimes melt parts of Earth's bedrock." Nevertheless, craters are often difficult to detect on Earth, because erosion, weathering and plate tectonics cause them to disappear over millions of years," Langenhorst explains. Therefore, minerals that undergo characteristic changes due to the force of the impact often serve as evi

How to reverse unknown quantum processes

Vienna, Austria (SPX) Feb 08, 2023
In the world around us processes appear to follow a certain time-direction: dandelions eventually turn into blowballs. However, the quantum realm does not play by the same rules. Physicists from the University of Vienna and IQOQI Vienna have now shown that for certain quantum systems the time-direction of processes can be reversed. This demonstration of a so-called rewinding protocol has been pu

Distortion-free structured light

Bellingham WA (SPX) Feb 08, 2023
An exciting prospect in modern optics is to exploit patterns of light - how the light looks in its many degrees of freedom - often referred to as "structured light." Each distinct pattern could form an encoding alphabet for optical communication, or might be used in manufacturing to enhance performance and productivity. Unfortunately, patterns of light get distorted when they pass through noisy

Trieste, Italy (SPX) Feb 08, 2023
A mysterious and very distant object, in a universe as it was 'just' two billion years after the Big Bang, that hides from even the most advanced instruments. Its features have finally been described by a team from SISSA in a recently published study reported in The Astrophysical Journal. An extremely remote celestial body in a still young Universe, one sixth the size of the present one. A
