Abstract: Traditional real-time object detection networks deployed in autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs) struggle to extract features from small objects in complex backgrounds with occlusions and ...

At the heart of every camera is a sensor, whether that sensor is a collection of light-detecting pixels or a strip of 35-millimeter film. But what happens when you want to take a picture of something ...

Recent research suggests that humans have a surprising ability—we can sometimes feel a physical object before making contact with it. In a study published this past October in the journal IEEE ...

Astronomers have detected a massive object moving in a synchronized path behind Earth. Early measurements suggest it has been trailing the planet longer than previously assumed. Its trajectory does ...

Cancer continues to be one of the world's top causes of death, partly because of delayed discovery of the disease. But according to a recently released study, a simple blood test may be able to ...

Dark matter is believed to make up more than 80 percent of all matter in the universe, but what it actually is remains a mystery. Now, astronomers have found something that gives us a major clue. This ...

Astronomers have detected one of the darkest objects ever seen at a record cosmic distance—only with the assistance of gravity. The discovery is an important step toward the observation of dark matter ...

Dark matter is an enigmatic form of matter not expected to emit light, yet it is essential to understanding how the rich tapestry of stars and galaxies we see in the night sky evolved. As a ...
