A finger moving across dry sand meets resistance that the eye cannot see. The sand shifts in ways too small for conscious measurement, yet something in the hand registers the change. Beneath the ...

Luna 9 was the first spacecraft to soft-land on the Moon, sending the first images from the lunar surface to Earth. The Luna ...

Scientists have spent decades searching for the final resting place of Luna 9, the first spacecraft to soft-land on the moon. Now they’re on the cusp of finding it ...

High school student Matteo Paz wrote an algorithm with Caltech that helped find changes in space the naked eye missed, earning him a published paper and prize.

People can use remote touch to sense a hidden object buried under sand. The effect extends nearly 2.76 inches (7 centimeters) from the target. A London team ran precise experiments showing this remote ...

Abstract: This study develops a scalable, effective, and user-friendly solution to tackle the problem of real-time object detection in photos. The suggested approach ...

Researchers from Stony Brook University, in collaboration with Ecosuite and Ecogy Energy, have developed a self-supervised machine-learning algorithm designed to identify physical anomalies in solar ...

Many carbon-rich meteorites contain ingredients commonly found in life, but no evidence of life itself. James St. John, CC BY When NASA scientists opened the sample return canister from the OSIRIS-REx ...

Amirali Aghazadeh receives funding from Georgia Tech. When NASA scientists opened the sample return canister from the OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample mission in late 2023, they found something astonishing.

This project showcases a sophisticated pipeline for object detection and segmentation using a Vision-Language Model (VLM) and the Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2). The core idea is to leverage the ...
