A pair of mathematicians has built on an obscure, 30-year-old mathematical theory to show that soap-filmlike minimal surfaces appear abundantly in a wide range
Proteins play countless roles throughout the biological world, from catalyzing chemical reactions to building the structures of all living things. Despite this wide range of functions all proteins are made out of the same twenty amino acids, but combined in different ways. The way these twenty amino acids are arranged dictates the folding of the protein into its primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure. Since protein function is based on the ability to recognize and bind to specific molecules, having the correct shape is critical for proteins to do their jobs correctly. Learn more about the relationship between protein structure and function in this video.
Announcing the SUMO challenge - a contest to encourage the development of algorithms for complete understanding of 3D indoor scenes from 360° RGB-D panoramas with the goal of enabling social AR and VR research and experiences.

Gibson’s underlying database of spaces includes 572 full buildings composed of 1447 floors covering a total area of 211k m2s. The database is collected from real indoor spaces using 3D scanning and reconstruction. For each space, we provide: the 3D reconstruction, RGB images, depth, surface normal, and for a fraction of the spaces, semantic object annotations. In this page you can see various visualizations for each space, including 3D dissections, exploration using a randomly controlled husky agent, and standard point-to-point navigation episodes
