ISS Daily Summary Report – 2/04/2019

Kubik: Over the weekend a crewmember performed upgrades, checkout and activation of the Kubik 6 hardware. Samples from Kubik 5 were transferred to Kubik 6 and the Kubik 5 was de-installed and stowed. Kubik is a small controlled-temperature incubator or cooler with removable inserts designed for self-contained, automatic microgravity experiments such as those using seeds, … from ISS On-Orbit Status Report https://blogs.nasa.gov/stationreport/2019/02/04/iss-daily-summary-report-2-04-2019/

ISS Daily Summary Report – 2/01/2019

Circadian Rhythms: Today a crewmember doffed the Circadian Rhythms hardware. This completes the 3rd session for this increment. Circadian Rhythms investigates the role of synchronized circadian rhythms, or the “biological clock,” and how it changes during long-duration spaceflight. Researchers hypothesize that a non-24-hour cycle of light and dark affects crewmembers’ circadian clocks.

Learning transistor mimics the brain

A new transistor based on organic materials has been developed. It has the ability to learn, and is equipped with both short-term and long-term memory. The work is a major step on the way to creating technology that mimics the human brain. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190205102537.htm

Theoretical model may help solve molecular mystery

When it comes to realizing low-power electronic devices, spintronics looks promising. However, to generate a suitable spin current, you need a relatively large magnet. An alternative method that uses a special type of molecule has been proposed, but the big question is: does it work? Researchers have constructed a theoretical model which describes how to put this new method to the test. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190205102535.htm

New method for high-speed synthesis of natural voices

The research team has developed the method of neural source-filter (NSF) models for high-speed, high-quality voice synthesis. This technique, which combines the recent deep-learning algorithms and a classical speech production model dated back to the 1960s, is capable not only of generating high-quality voice waveforms -- closely resembling the human voice -- but also of conducting stable learning via neural networks. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190205102528.htm
