• In partnership with the University of Washington's DiRAC Institute, Asteroid Institute developed a novel algorithm called Tracklet-less Heliocentric Orbit Recovery (THOR), which runs on a cloud-based, open-source astrodynamics platform called Asteroid Discovery Analysis and Mapping (ADAM).
• Google Cloud's Office of the CTO collaborated with Asteroid Institute to help it scale and tune its algorithms on ADAM using Google Cloud.
• Large-scale image storage: Asteroid Institute leverages Google Cloud Storage for millions of images from NOIRLab to use in verification of asteroid discoveries, as well as durable storage for billions of data points across the asteroid discovery pipeline.
• Asteroid Institute and Google Cloud have partnered since 2017 with the goal of transforming asteroid discovery.

• This innovation enhances crop yield and quality, and by significantly reducing energy consumption, it offers a cost-effective and sustainable solution that addresses key challenges of modern greenhouse cultivation.
• Enhanced lighting control: Multi-target PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) and DLI (Daily Light Integral) data provide additional control to help maximize the use of natural sunlight.
• "These new features are more than significant improvements to the SUNaaS cloud platform," says Vice President Marco Lafond , Product Development at Sollum.

• 11, 2024, VITAL HealthCare, one of the 5 core business divisions of the VITAL Group, marked a stunning debut at the 89th China International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF) in Shanghai.
• At the exhibition, VITAL HealthCare unveiled a portfolio of advanced imaging solutions.
• Spearheading the lineup was its in-development photon counting CT (PCCT) system - VITA PCCT, a next-generation CT imaging technique poised to redefine the future of imaging diagnostics.
• They also exemplify VITAL HealthCare's dedication to pioneering the cutting edge of medical imaging and building an industry-wide matrix of high-end medical imaging products.

• His unparalleled legacy, epitomised by the discovery of the Higgs boson, continues to profoundly shape the future of particle physics like no other discovery before it.
• When Higgs was born in 1929, our understanding of matter was completely different.
• Physicists had developed a simple model of matter with three fundamental, or elementary, particles (those that can’t be broken down into smaller particles).
• At the time Higgs began working on his ideas in the 1960s, the question of how elementary particles acquired mass was a central issue in physics.

• However, for a theory that should explain mass, a viable solution couldn’t depend on a specific medium or material.
• Later, Higgs and other theorists developed a model that overcame this difficulty.
• On July 4 2012, images of Higgs, moved to tears by the announcement, went around the world.

• In the decade since its discovery, many of these interactions have been observed at the LHC.
• If current measurements of that particle are correct, the universe isn’t stable in its current state.
• To answer these questions, Europe, the US and China have proposed plans for building new particle colliders focused on studying the Higgs boson.
• It would be entirely fitting if Peter Higgs’ legacy, which transformed our understanding of particle physics, also transformed our approach to research.
