MIT Professor Brett McGuire's group has discovered a previously unknown molecule in space using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The molecule, 2-methoxyethanol, was detected in the star-forming region NGC 6334I and its abundance and excitation temperature were derived. The discovery of this large and complex molecule helps researchers understand the development of ...

Researchers at the University of Florida have developed an mRNA cancer vaccine that quickly reprograms the immune system to attack glioblastoma in a first-ever human clinical trial of four adult patients. The vaccine uses the patient's own tumor cells to create a personalized vaccine and harnesses an engineered complex lipid particle (LP) delivery mechanism, generating multi-lamellar LP ...

The paper "KAN: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks" presents a promising alternative to Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) called Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs). KANs have strong mathematical foundations and are based on the Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem. KANs and MLPs are dual, with activation functions on edges for KANs and nodes for MLPs. KANs are better than MLPs in terms of both model ...

The article describes a new approach to rendering music notation on the web using CSS Grid. The author defines two axes for the grid: the vertical axis, which is defined by the stave (staff) and has fixed-size grid rows, and the horizontal axis, which is defined by the time line and has a variable number of columns. The stave is defined by a class called ".stave" and has fixed-size grid rows ...

The math/rand package in Go is an API for a pseudorandom number generator. It is used in simulations, shuffling, and other non-cryptographic use cases. The package is based on an idea by George Marsaglia, tweaked by Don Mitchell and Jim Reeds, and further customized by Ken Thompson for Plan 9 and then Go. The goal is for these generators to be fast, repeatable, and random enough to support ...

Java has automatic memory management, but custom memory management systems can be created for specific requirements or constraints. When creating a custom memory allocation script, it is important to choose between fixed-size or variable-sized blocks, ensure correct alignment based on hardware and JVM requirements, and minimize fragmentation through strategies like allocation of similar ...

Researchers using NASA's Curiosity rover discovered high levels of manganese in lakebed rocks in Gale Crater on Mars, indicating the presence of a river, delta, or shoreline of an ancient lake. The results suggest that the sedimentary rocks explored by the rover are a mix of sands, silts, and muds, with sandy rocks being more porous and allowing for easier groundwater percolation. The ...

The article introduces a depth completion network that can generate smooth 3D scenes by seamlessly integrating newly hallucinated regions into the existing scene representation. The depth completion network learns to inpaint masked depth map regions by being conditioned on an image and the depth of known regions. The authors also propose a new scene consistency evaluation approach to measure ...
