RESONANCE will serve to improve the specification of satellite orbits, re-ent...

Manufacturing Bits: March 16 Tripping up neural networks For years, Russia has been an active area in R&D. In one example, Russia’s Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) has demonstrated how certain patterns can cause neural networks to make mistakes in recognizing images. Leveraging the theory behind this research, Skoltech can design defenses for pattern recognition systems that are vulnerable to attacks. A subset of AI, machine learning is a technology that make use of a neural network in a system. In this system, the neural network crunches data and identify patterns. ...

Researchers develop an AI system that allows greenhouses to operate without human intervention This technology is a step forward for future space missions One of the challenges to colonize other planets and establish human settlements, starting with the planets closest to Earth in our Solar System, such as Mars, is to guarantee food for their future inhabitants. Since these planets have different atmospheric conditions than Earth, the fresh produce would have to be grown in greenhouses with a controlled atmosphere. The development of technologies based on artificial intelligence and computer ...

Drone flies inside giant Yamal permafrost crater for first time, dipping 15 metres below the surface 25 February 2021 Underground aerial survey throws important new light on these eerie giant holes, enabling a first 3D model. First-ever 3D model of the newest permafrost heaving mound that exploded in summer 2020 on the Yamal peninsula. Picture: Vasily Bogoyavlensky Some 20 large craters have formed in recent years after explosions of bulging mounds in areas of the Russian Arctic. The cause is believed to be a build up of methane gas triggering blowouts which send ice and frost soil hundreds...
