A research team has developed a powerful unsupervised deep learning network that can accurately separate wood and leaf components in 3D point clouds of trees—without the need for labor-intensive data labeling.
A research team has developed an innovative three-dimensional (3D) tree modeling method that dramatically improves accuracy in estimating tree structure and volume.
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have long been hailed as a cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries, but their performance has been hindered by inefficiencies in the anode material. A new study introduces an innovative approach to improving hard carbon (HC) anodes, which are vital for SIBs. By manipulating the interfacial chemistry of HC through an in situ coupling strategy, researchers have enhanced sodium ion transport and boosted both the storage capacity and rate capability of HC anodes. This breakthrough could be the key to unlocking the full potential of SIBs, making them a viable option for large-scale energy storage and electric vehicles.
A research team has developed FreezeNet, a lightweight deep learning model that uses smartphone-captured images to accurately assess freeze injury in wheat seedlings.
A research team has combined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) to non-invasively track how the sugar beet disease known as syndrome “basses richesses” (SBR) damages taproot structure and disrupts sugar distribution.
A research team has demonstrated that spectroscopy combined with partial least squares regression (PLSR) can accurately estimate plant leaf traits, but models built at one site often fail elsewhere.
