Methane clouds on Titan, Saturns largest moon, are more than just a celestial oddity theyre a window into one of the solar systems most complex climates.Until now, mapping them has been slow and grueling work. Enter AI: a team from NASA, UC Berkeley and Frances Observatoire des Sciences de lUnivers just changed the game.Using NVIDIA GPUs, the researchers trained a deep learning model to analyze years of Cassini data in seconds. Their approach could reshape planetary science, turning what took days into moments.We were able to use AI to greatly speed up the work of scientists, increasing productivity and enabling questions to be answered that would otherwise be impractical, said Zach Yahn, Georgia Tech PhD student and lead author of the study.Read the full paper, Rapid Automated Mapping of Clouds on Titan With Instance Segmentation.How It WorksAt the projects core is Mask R-CNN a deep learning model that doesnt just detect objects. It outlines them pixel by pixel. Trained on hand-labeled images of Titan, it mapped the moons elusive clouds: patchy, streaky and barely visible through a smoggy atmosphere.The team used transfer learning, starting with a model trained on COCO (a dataset of everyday images), and fine-tuned it for Titans unique challenges. This saved time and demonstrated how planetary scientists, who may not always have access to the vast computing resources necessary to train large models from scratch, can still use technologies like transfer learning to apply AI to their data and projects, Yahn explained.The models potential goes far beyond Titan. Many other Solar System worlds have cloud formations of interest to planetary science researchers, including Mars and Venus. Similar technology might also be applied to volcanic flows on Io, plumes on Enceladus, linea on Europa and craters on solid planets and moons, he added.Fast Science, Powered by NVIDIANVIDIA GPUs made this speed possible, processing high-resolution images and generating cloud masks with minimal latency work that traditional hardware would struggle to handle.NVIDIA GPUs have become a mainstay for space scientists. Theyve helped analyze Webb Telescope data, model Mars landings and scan for extraterrestrial signals. Now, theyre helping researchers decode Titan.Whats NextThis AI leap is just the start. Missions like NASAs Europa Clipper and Dragonfly will flood researchers with data. AI can help handle it, processing it onboard, mid-mission, and even prioritizing findings in real time. Challenges remain, like creating hardware fit for spaces harsh conditions, but the potential is undeniable.Methane clouds on Titan hold mysteries. Researchers are now unraveling them faster than ever with help from new AI tools accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs.Read the full paper, Rapid Automated Mapping of Clouds on Titan With Instance Segmentation.Image Credit: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

If you want a power bank with enough capacity and speed to quickly charge practically any portable gadget you plug it into, your options can get costly. However, you can end your search with the Anker 737, which is easy to recommend in part because its just $69.99 at Woot while supplies last. With its ideal combo of a relatively high 24,000 mAh capacity, its speedy 140 W output, and multiple ports (two USB-C, one USB-A), it makes sense to own if you need to keep your phone, Steam Deck, or even a laptop charged throughout the day. While typically available for around $100, its priced has only dropped this low once before during Black Friday 2024.The 140 W charging speeds of the Anker 737 let it quickly charge anything from a handheld to a 16-inch MacBook Pro and some Windows gaming laptops. While Nintendo hasnt shared the charging speed of its Switch 2, this battery will likely be a great fit for that, too. However, even if your devices dont need a ton of power, its still a good value. The display shows how much battery is left in the charge, as well as how much power is being routed through each USB port. Also, the battery includes a 140 W-compatible USB-C to USB-C cable, a travel pouch, and is covered by an 18-month warranty through Anker.

Sneaker blowouts, while relatively uncommon nowadays, are not unfamiliar to New Orleans Pelicans basketball player Zion Williamson. The 66, 284 lb power forward blew through the upper of his PG 2.5s in 2019. His height, weight, and pure athleticism mean that hes cutting with more force than the average player and applying explosive energy to his shoes. Williamson is proud to unveil the Zion 4, his fourth signature silhouette, teaming up with Jordan Brand to offer a sneaker thats stable, secure, and performs beautifully on court. An aggressive lateral outtrigger and Cushlon drop-in midsole are innovations specific to this model, developed to channel Williamsons singular kinetic dynamism.The Zion 4 features one of the most extreme lateral outtriggers ever in a basketball shoe, offering stability for cutting quickly and accurately. A drop-in midsole, unique to Zions sneaker setup for a double layer of cushion, adds extra shock absorption to support dynamic movement. The combination of metallics and layers of transparent overmold give a distinct space-age feel, each new silhouette in the Zion collection a distinct but exploratory take on his ever evolving game.The 24-year-old has more than proven himself since his time on the Griffins at Spartanburg Day School. After a short stint on the Duke Blue Devils, he was named first overall pick in the 2019 draft. He landed a spot in the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2020, and in 2021, he became the fourth-youngest NBA player to be selected to an All-Star game. His strength, control, and precision are immediately apparent, athleticism at the core of his game.Just as ready to assist than take the shot, hes constantly looking for, and finding, new ways to expand his athletic prowess. The Zion 4 features a full-length parabolic Air Zoom strobel to provide a springy, double-stacked layer of cushioning. A computationally derived outsole delivers excellent court feel, keeping energy up and reducing fatigue. The Zion 4 offers ultimate control, made specifically for the powerful energy Williamson brings to the court.To learn more about the Zion 4 sneaker, which is being released very soon on jordan.com, please visit nike.com.

We may earn a commission from links on this page.The hardest part of sticking to a workout routine may be starting, but the second-hardest part is figuring out what to do when it's time for another workout but you're still sore from the first one. Below, I'll share some tips for relieving that sorenessbut, even more importantly, I'll tell you what not to do. Perhaps the most surprising thing: you probably shouldn't skip your next workout. Know what normal soreness feels likeBefore we discuss what to do, let's take a minute to understand how you're feeling right now, and why. It's not lactic acid (that's a myth), but rather a phenomenon known as DOMS, for "delayed onset muscle soreness." It's most likely to happen when you do something different than what you're used to. That might mean starting a new workout routine, but it can also happen to people who are already fit but try a new sport or even a slight change to their routine. DOMS can feel pretty brutal, but it's not serious. It doesn't mean your muscles are seriously damaged, and you're not going to injure yourself by ignoring it. Just to make sure we're on the same page, normal DOMS:Hurts the most when you wake up in the morning or when you've been sitting still for a whileFeels better with movement Hurts when you use the muscle and when you stretch the muscleUsually starts the day after exercise (rather than the same day), and may last multiple daysIs often at its worst two days after the exercise that caused itThere are medical conditions that can also cause muscle soreness, so check with a doctor if you think there may be more going on than the usual DOMS situation. One condition worth keeping in mind is rhabdomyolysis, which is muscle damage that gets severe enough to cause muscle breakdown and kidney issues. Dark-colored urine (often described as "tea colored" or "cola colored") is a huge red flagget to the emergency room if you notice this. I've written more here about the differences between normal soreness and the kind that needs medical attention.But most likely, you just have a normal case of DOMS. If that sounds right, let's talk about what to do about it.Do some active rest or gentle movementYou may not feel like moving at all, but it's worth fighting the urge to lie in bed. Once you get up and move around, the DOMS will start to fade, at least temporarily. Definitely do not cancel any plans for the day when you first wake upthat's the worst it's going to feel all day. So go for a walk. That's my go-to when I'm not feeling great. If you have access to a spin bike, moving your legs at low resistance tends to help relieve soreness. Cyclists will talk about "flushing" out their muscles with easy pedaling; whether that's scientifically accurate or not, it does seem to help. If you're into yoga, a day you're sore is a good time to do some gentle yoga; you can even look up recovery yoga for some videos to follow.Movement helps to relieve the pain of DOMS, but it doesn't necessarily make it fully go awayif you sit down to watch TV for a while, the soreness will be back when your show is over and you get up. The only thing that can make it go away is time, so you'll have to be patient. In the meantime, here are a few more things to try for temporary relief and to support your body as it naturally clears things up.Take a warm bath or visit the saunaHeat tends to make sore muscles feel better, so this is a great time to hit the sauna, if your gym has one. You can also use an electric heating pad like this one, or take a hot bath. Epsom salt baths are popular for sore muscles, but the minerals in the bathwater don't actually reach your muscles. Adding them to a bath can still make it smell nice (get the lavender scented kind) and can make it feel like you're doing something special for yourself, so use them if you enjoy them.Give yourself a massageGentle pressure can feel good on sore muscles, so consider treating yourself to a massage or asking someone to give you a back rub. A foam roller is a good way to give yourself some "self-myofascial release" (I'm convinced that's nothing but a fancy word for massage), or consider a massage gun.Eat well and sleep wellWhen youre sore, it's good time to pay more attention to taking care of yourself. Anecdotally, I find sleep helps to deal with soreness: if I stay up late, Im more likely to be sore the next day. Eating plenty of protein cant hurt, either, since protein is important to building muscle. And carbs are important for recovery and fueling, so I wouldn't skimp on those either. What not to do when you're soreMyths abound, so I want to call out a few specific things that you're better off not doing. Intense stretching. Gentle movement is fine, but deep or painful stretches can cause muscle damage.Ice or cold plunges. This one is a bit controversial, but it may interfere with the healing process.Taking ibuprofen if you don't really need it. If you need a pain reliever to get through the day, it's fine to take one. But if you get into the habit of taking ibuprofen regularlylike after every workoutit can hinder your recovery. Dont skip your workoutWhen you're feeling sore, youre probably tempted to just stay home with some Netflix instead of taking your achy body back to the gym. But resting doesn't help much in the long run. Beating the soreness for good comes from getting used to exercise, and youll never get used to it if you have to take a week off every time you get the idea to start again. So go back to the gym, or head out for another run, or whatever is on your schedule for today. Make some effort to continue the schedule that you set up for yourself, whether that was a written program or a promise to yourself that you'd go to the gym a certain number of times per week.First, do your warmup, but ease into it gradually. If you planned to go for a run, start with a brisk walk and then see how an easy jog feels. If it's a lifting day, start with lighter weights than usual, and only add as much weight as you feel like you can handle today. Even if you can't manage your regular workout, you're still doing something, and that's buying you insurance against future soreness. You're also not going to get anywhere near as sore after today's workout as you did before. Scientists call this the repeated bout effect: each workout (each "bout" of training) protects against soreness from the next one.
