Breathable air is necessary to sustain humans both on Earth as well as in space.
NASA is working with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to sponsor the Earth and Space Air Prize competition for a solution that could improve air quality and health in space and on Earth. This project is a technology innovation challenge to promote development of robust, durable, inexpensive, efficient, lightweight, and easy-to-use aerosol sensors for space and Earth environments. The competition asks teams or individuals to design and develop specialized sensor technology that has the potential to be useful in spaceflight as well as on Earth anywhere outdoors in a community where people may be exposed to airborne particles.
To learn more about the rules and to register for the competition please visit www.earthspaceairprize.org
So we’ve talked a lot in this series about how computers fetch and display data, but how do they make decisions on this data? From spam filters and self-driving cars, to cutting edge medical diagnosis and real-time language translation, there has been an increasing need for our computers to learn from data and apply that knowledge to make predictions and decisions. This is the heart of machine learning which sits inside the more ambitious goal of artificial intelligence. We may be a long way from self-aware computers that think just like us, but with advancements in deep learning and artificial neural networks our computers are becoming more powerful than ever.
What makes a brain or machine conscious? Will robots become more conscious than we are? One theory, which can actually calculate consciousness, is beginning to provide some answers.

Neuroscientist Greg Gage takes sophisticated equipment used to study the brain out of graduate-level labs and brings them to middle- and high-school classrooms (and, sometimes, to the TED stage.) Prepare to be amazed as he hooks up the Mimosa pudica, a plant whose leaves close when touched, and the Venus flytrap to an EKG to show us how plants use electrical signals to convey information, prompt movement and even count.
The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design — plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more.

On Oct. 26, Vice President Mike Pence joined our Associate Administrator for Science, Thomas Zurbuchen for a close-up view of the agency’s Mars InSight spacecraft, during a visit to the Littleton, Colorado facilities of Lockheed Martin. InSight is being prepped for a May 2018 launch to the Red Planet, with landing targeted for next November. The mission will study the deep interior of Mars, with a primary goal of helping scientists understand how rocky planets – including Earth – formed and evolved. The vice president also visited a Virtual Reality lab that featured demos of the company’s human exploration efforts, including our Orion spacecraft. Orion will launch on the agency’s Space Launch System rocket, and take humans farther into the solar system than ever before. Also, Interstellar Visitor from Beyond the Solar System, Space Station Crew Talks with Pope Francis, Dawn Finds Possible Ancient Ocean Remnants at Ceres, and Take a Walk on Mars!

When someone mentions autism, Hollywood movies like Mozart and the Whale or Rain Man, may come to mind. The actors in these movies do depict autistic characteristics but they are often dramatised. For instance, they are portrayed as high-functioning, possessing advanced math skills and having photographic memory – while completely lacking any social skills. While some people suffering from autism do have extraordinary skills, many are of just above average or even average intelligence.

For the first time, NASA scientists have detected light tied to a gravitational-wave event. The gravitational wave – caused by an explosive merger of two neutron stars, about 130 million light-years from Earth – produced a gamma-ray burst and a rarely seen flare-up called a “kilonova”. The phenomenon was captured by our Fermi, Swift, Hubble, Chandra and Spitzer missions, along with dozens of NASA-funded ground-based observatories. Also, Trio of Station Spacewalks Completed, Fresh Findings from Cassini, and Test of SLS RS-25 Flight Engine!

Deep learning and Neural Networks are probably one of the hottest tech topics right now. Large corporations and young startups alike are all gold-rushing this state of the art field. If you think big data is important, then you should care about deep learning. Deep Learning (DL) and Neural Network (NN) is currently driving some of the most ingenious inventions this century. Their incredible ability to learn from data and the environment makes them the first choice for machine learning scientists.
Deep Learning and Neural Network lies in the heart of products such as self-driving cars, image recognition software, recommender systems and the list goes on. Evidently, being a powerful algorithm, it is highly adaptive to various data types as well.
People think neural network is an extremely difficult topic to learn. Therefore, either some of them don’t use it, or the ones who use it, use it as a black box. Is there any point in doing something without knowing how is it done? NO! That’s why you’ve’ come to right place at Augmented Startups to Learn about Artificial Neural Networks, so sit back relax and see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

The Oct. 10th spacewalk outside the International Space Station was the second in less than a week by NASA’s Randy Bresnik and Mark Vande Hei – and one of three U.S. spacewalks planned for October. The astronauts lubricated the new latching end effector they installed on the Canadarm2 robotic arm on Oct. 5. They also replaced a faulty camera system and completed several other tasks. Joe Acaba will join Bresnik for the next spacewalk – currently scheduled for Oct. 20. Also, California Wildfires Seen from Space, NASA Pinpoints Cause of Earth’s Record CO2 Levels, Send Your Name to Mars, Celebrating the First Piloted Supersonic Flight, and Potential Asteroid Warning Network Tested!
