The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Artificial intelligence got a nose 01.03.2017

Scientists have long argued about exactly how the receptors of the human body allow us to perceive a wide range of odors and give them certain descriptions. In an attempt to solve this problem, teams of engineers from around the world were asked to create an AI that could perceive smells as well as humans.

Predicting color is not that difficult: for example, if a light wave reaches a wavelength of 510 nm, then most people will say that it is green. But figuring out how a particular molecule smells is much more difficult. 22 teams of scientists have created a set of algorithms that can predict the smell of various molecules based on their chemical structure. The full range of practical applications of the program remains to be seen, but the developers hope that, first of all, it will help perfumers, pharmacists and food workers develop new, unique combinations of smells.

The work began with a recent study by Leslie Vosshull and colleagues at the Rockefeller University in New York, in which 49 volunteers had to guess the smell of 467 odorants. For each of them, a comparison system of 19 basic patterns was developed: the subjects said whether the smell was similar to fish or garlic, assessed the intensity and individual pleasantness of the aroma. As a result, a catalog was created with more than a million cells characterizing certain odorous molecules.

When computational biologist Pablo Meyer found out about this, he immediately saw the study as an opportunity to test whether a computer system could predict how people would evaluate smells. Despite the fact that researchers have discovered about 400 odor receptors in the human body, it remains a mystery to scientists how exactly they work together so that a person can distinguish even subtle shades of odors.

In 2015, Meyer and colleagues launched the DREAM Olfaction Prediction Challenge. The participants of the competition received at their disposal the same rating tables of volunteers that describe odors, along with the chemical structure of the molecules that produce them. In addition, the participants were provided with a database of 4800 descriptions for each individual molecule - its atoms, their relative position, general geometry, which eventually amounted to about 2 million data points. Ultimately, the data should be used to train computer programs to recognize odors based on structural information.

Twenty-two teams from all over the world entered the competition, and while many did a good job, two teams stand out in particular. The Michigan State team, led by Yang Fang Guang, was the best at coming up with an algorithm for predicting the smell of individual things. Another team from the University of Arizona, led by Richard Gerkin, was the best at training the program to average odor ratings across the entire sample. Meyer reports this in an article published in the journal Science.

Of course, many scientists are skeptical about the developments, saying that the work done, although it makes a significant contribution to science, is still a rather primitive selection, and 19 descriptive elements for the entire spectrum of smells in nature are clearly very, very few.

Alternative studies with volunteers used 80 or more of these criteria to verbally evaluate different odors. It is not clear whether the existing algorithm will be able to correctly predict the odor score if it has to face such an array of information. So, to date, the perception of smells remains a mystery for both physicians and engineers.
