Viruses are among the simplest biological entities capable of replication. Their robustness and adaptability make them relevant not only to terrestrial ecosystems but also to astrobiological exploration. As durable entities, they may persist in environments far harsher than those tolerable to cellular life and are…

Renewed interest in human space exploration has highlighted the gaps in knowledge needed for successful long-duration missions outside low-Earth orbit. Although the technical challenges of such missions are being systematically overcome, many of the unknowns in predicting mission success depend on human behavior and…

Background: To anticipate the dynamics of future long-distance space exploration mission (LDSEM) teams, research is conducted in analog environments (e.g., Antarctic expeditions, space chamber simulations), or environments that share key contextual features of LDSEM such as isolation and confinement. We conducted a…

'Andreas Nüchter' 'Gernot Grömer' 'Umar Iqbal' 'Aboelmagd Noureldin' 'Michael J. Korenberg'] Future planetary exploration missions will rely heavily on efficient human-robot interaction to ensure astronaut safety and maximize scientific return. In this context, digital twins offer a promising tool for planning…

Gaps and requirements for multi-modal interfaces for humanities can be explored by observing the configuration of real-world environments and the tasks of visitors within them compared to digital environments. Examples include stores, museums, galleries, and stages with tasks similar to visualization tasks such as…

This chapter describes a novel approach to training machine learning systems by means of a hybrid computer setup i. e. a digital computer tightly coupled with an analog computer. In this example, a reinforcement learning system is trained to balance an inverted pendulum which is simulated on an analog computer…

We analyse the pros and cons of analog versus digital computation in living cells. Our analysis is based on fundamental laws of noise in gene and protein expression, which set limits on the energy, time, space, molecular count and part-count resources needed to compute at a given level of precision. We conclude that…

Synthesis Authors: ['Jiaqi Li' 'Haochang Zhi' 'Ruiyu Lyu' 'Wenbin Li' 'Zhuming Bi' 'Keren Zhu' 'Yanhan Zeng' 'Weiwei Shan' 'Changhao Yan' 'Fan Yang' 'Yun Li' 'Xuan Zeng'] Recent advances in machine learning (ML) for automating analog circuit synthesis have been significant, yet challenges remain. A critical gap is the…

—Many people think of analog computing as a historic dead-end in computing. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth as analog computing – together with quantum computing – has the potential to bring computing to new levels with respect to raw computational power and energy efficiency. The following paper…

Nontraditional computing paradigm is prescribed for the forthcoming wave of materials acceleration platforms (MAP) and self-driving laboratories: physical computing (PC), to perform information processing and machine learning using naturally occurring physical processes for analog computation (rather than imperfect…

The manuscript discusses recent advances on computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) with focus on data-dependent drug discovery. Herein, we do not intend to review the many CADD methodologies comprehensively. Instead, the review discusses progress on selected concepts, methodologies, resources, and applications that are…

'Nicola Fossati' 'Omar Ferrari' 'Elena Beretta' 'Elisabetta Riva'] Title: Simple Summary Microclimate conditions and air quality in animal housing facilities are key aspects of animal welfare and require appropriate monitoring devices. For this reason, a multi-parameter device was developed that can be easily installed…

'Doug A. Bowman'] Advances in a variety of computing fields, including “big data,” machine learning, visualization, and augmented/mixed/virtual reality, have combined to give rise to the emerging field of immersive analytics, which investigates how these new technologies support analysis and decision making. Thus far…

The fragment-based polarizable embedding model combined with an appropriate electronic-structure method constitutes a highly efficient and accurate multiscale approach for computing spectroscopic properties of a central moiety including effects from its molecular environment through an embedding potential. There is…
