Dawn Ceres eXtended Mission 2, Orbit 6 (XMO6) or Ceres Extended mission 2 Intermediate (C2I) phase from 2018-05-15 to 2018-05-31 gif

This volume contains calibrated level-1B (RDR) Framing Camera 1 images acquired during Dawn Ceres eXtended Mission 2, Orbit 6 (XMO6) or Ceres Extended mission 2 Intermediate (C2I) phase from 2018-05-15 to 2018-05-31. In addition, this volume includes some annual instrument non-pointed checkout images that were acquired on 2018-01-13.

==========================================

This volume was produced for the Planetary Data System (PDS) at the Small Bodies node. The images, and associated metadata were supplied by Pablo Gutierrez-Marques, and Joachim Ripken at the Max-Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS). The volume was assembled at the Dawn Science Center (DSC), by Joseph N. Mafi.

Recent Advances in DNA Origami-Engineered Nanomaterials and Applications

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.chemrev.3c00028?fig=fig1&ref=pdf

"DNA nanotechnology is a unique field, where physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, and materials science can elegantly converge. Since the original proposal of Nadrian Seeman, significant advances have been achieved in the past four decades. During this glory time, the DNA origami technique developed by Paul Rothemund further pushed the field forward with a vigorous momentum, fostering a plethora of concepts, models, methodologies, and applications that were not thought of before. This review focuses on the recent progress in DNA origami-engineered nanomaterials in the past five years, outlining the exciting achievements as well as the unexplored research avenues. We believe that the spirit and assets that Seeman left for scientists will continue to bring interdisciplinary innovations and useful applications to this field in the next decade."

NeRF: Neural Radiance Fields

We present a method that achieves state-of-the-art results for synthesizing novel views of complex scenes by optimizing an underlying continuous volumetric scene function using a sparse set of input views. Our algorithm represents a scene using a fully-connected (nonconvolutional) deep network, whose input is a single continuous 5D coordinate (spatial location (x, y, z) and viewing direction (θ, φ)) and whose output is the volume density and view-dependent emitted radiance at that spatial location. We synthesize views by querying 5D coordinates along camera rays and use classic volume rendering techniques to project the output colors and densities into an image. Because volume rendering is naturally differentiable, the only input required to optimize our representation is a set of images with known camera poses. We describe how to effectively optimize neural radiance fields to render photorealistic novel views of scenes with complicated geometry and appearance, and demonstrate results that outperform prior work on neural rendering and view synthesis.
