Despite recent advances, real-time video of complex and dynamic scenes remains a major challenge owing to the weak signal of multiply scattered light. Here we propose and demonstrate a framework of spectrum filtering and motion compensation to realize high-quality NLOS video for room-sized scenes. Spectrum filtering leverages a wave-based model for denoising and deblurring in the frequency domain, enabling computational image reconstruction with a small number of sampling points. Motion compensation tailored with an interleaved scanning scheme can compute high-resolution live video during the acquisition of low-quality image sequences. Together, we demonstrate live NLOS videos at 4 fps for a variety of dynamic real-life scenes. The results mark a substantial stride toward real-time, large-scale and low-power NLOS imaging and sensing applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":74246,"journal":{"name":"Nature computational science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142591484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that our approach can design RNA aptamers that are predicted to be structurally similar, yet sequence dissimilar, to known light-up aptamers that fluoresce in the presence of small molecules. We experimentally validate several generated RNA aptamers to have fluorescent activity, show that these aptamers can be optimized for activity in silico, and find that they exhibit a mechanism of fluorescence similar to that of known light-up aptamers.

Here, we explore the impact of noise on quantum computing, focusing on the challenges in sampling bit strings from noisy quantum computers and the implications for optimization and machine learning. We formally quantify the sampling overhead to extract good samples from noisy quantum computers and relate it to the layer fidelity, a metric to determine the performance of noisy quantum processors. Further, we show how this allows us to use the conditional value at risk of noisy samples to determine provable bounds on noise-free expectation values. We discuss how to leverage these bounds for different algorithms and demonstrate our findings through experiments on real quantum computers involving up to 127 qubits.

Our findings indicate that this e-waste stream could increase, potentially reaching a total accumulation of 1.2-5.0 million tons during 2020-2030, under different future GAI development settings. This may be intensified in the context of geopolitical restrictions on semiconductor imports and the rapid server turnover for operational cost savings. Meanwhile, we show that the implementation of circular economy strategies along the GAI value chain could reduce e-waste generation by 16-86%.

GeoFitness engages a specialized loss function to allow supervised training of a unified model using the large amount of multi-labeled fitness data in the deep mutational scanning database. To further improve the downstream tasks of ΔΔG and ΔT<sub>m</sub> prediction, the encoder of GeoFitness is reutilized as a pre-trained module in GeoDDG and GeoDTm to overcome the challenge of lacking sufficient labeled data. This pre-training strategy, in combination with data expansion, markedly improves model performance and generalizability.
