Technicians have successfully installed two sunshields onto NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s inner segment. The panels (together called the Lower Instrument Sun Shade), will play a critical role in keeping Roman’s instruments cool and stable as the mission explores the infrared universe.

Industrial anomaly detection is crucial for maintaining quality control and reducing production errors, but traditional supervised models require extensive datasets. While embedding-based methods are promising for unsupervised anomaly detection, they are highly memory-intensive and unsuited to low-light conditions. In a new study, researchers developed a new unsupervised model that utilizes both well-lit and low-light images to achieve computationally efficient and memory-friendly industrial anomaly detection.

EMBL’s AI Strategy aims to fundamentally transform life sciences research by comprehensively integrating artificial intelligence (AI). AI applications in life sciences include large-scale data analysis, protein prediction, biomarker discovery, image processing, and drug development. Funding from the German Hector Foundation will support key initiatives at EMBL, such as recruiting interdisciplinary talent, expanding AI infrastructure, and advancing training programmes.
