NASA and IBM Launch Surya A New AI Model for Space Weather Forecasting

NASA, in partnership with IBM, has introduced Surya a new avant-garde open-source artificial intelligence model to transform the forecast of dangerous space weather.

Why Prediction is needed

The Solar eruptions such as flares and coronal mass ejections (CME) form what is known as Space weather, which is a major threat to the modern technology. Clashes can destroy satellites, trip up power grid, interfere with GPS and air travel systems and also put astronauts at risk. Proper forecasting is an important aspect of curbing such risks.

Bistable Gene Expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the most important antibiotic-resistant hospital acquired infection disease, makes use of the bistable expression process to increase its survival and become more pathogenic. Because of this phenomenon, genetically identical bacterial cells may be made to exist in two different states of adapting to a foreign environment, thereby permitting the bacterial population to respond within any given time frame to an unfavourable environment, as in the case of a hospital.
