- New software designs eco-friendly clothing that can reassemble into new itemsTo reduce waste, the Refashion program helps users create outlines for adaptable clothing, such as pants that can be reconfigured into a dress. Each component of these pieces can be replaced, rearranged, or restyled.
- In a surprising discovery, scientists find tiny loops in the genomes of dividing cellsEnabled by a new high-resolution mapping technique, the findings overturn a long-held belief that the genome loses its 3D structure when cells divide.
- Method teaches generative AI models to locate personalized objectsAfter being trained with this technique, vision-language models can better identify a unique item in a new scene.
