Scientists Discover Four Intriguing Planets Around Closest Single-Star Solar System to Earth

Futurism

MAROON-X was specifically designed to detect tiny exoplanets orbiting red dwarf stars by detecting the minuscule back-and-forth motion of a star caused by the gravitational pull of orbiting planets, a trick scientists call the radial velocity technique. That gives us a lot of assurance that these arent phantoms in the data."

Webb telescope smashed a record with the planet it just discovered

Mashable Tech

The detection, which still must be confirmed through additional observations, represents the lightest planet ever seen with this technique outside the solar system, and it marks a major milestone in the search for exoplanets obscured by debris disks — those wide, dusty belts left behind after planets begin to form. Nothing else fit.

How people secured their secrets before encyption

Fast Company Tech

This gave researchers a common language to describe and compare techniques. Their research also offers new insights into the personalities and correspondence methods of historic figures. That includes scholars building their own models of historic locking techniques, even without a background in engineering or paper arts.

AI is helping rescue a nearly extinct bird species

Mashable Tech

I]t may well be that conventional conservation techniques are simply inadequate. "Bioacoustics has been used by a few researchers to search for the manumea in recent years," SCS conservation officer Moeumu Uili told Mashable. Uili was the last person to photograph a tooth-billed pigeon, capturing the image in 2013.

How machine learning can be used to identify microplastics

Fast Company Tech

So, an identification method for polymers should provide a measure of uncertainty in its output. Unfortunately, current methods dont usually provide an uncertainty measure. We use a machine learning technique called conformal prediction. It might seem that a method that outputs a set rather than a single identity isnt as useful.

How Hebbia is building AI for in-depth research

Fast Company Tech

A New York-based AI startup called Hebbia says it’s developed techniques that let AI answer questions about massive amounts of data without merely regurgitating what it’s read or, worse, making up information. Hebbia, says Sivulka, has approached the problem with a technique the company calls iterative source decomposition.
