Abstract: In this article, we propose an algorithm for computing a smoothed version of the distance between two objects. As opposed to the traditional Euclidean distance between two objects, which may ...

Thanks to the adoption of Google’s ARCore and developments like LiDAR scanners on the iPhone, our smartphones have become capable enough to serve as a measurement tool. Instead of reaching for a ...

People are far more likely to lie and cheat when they use AI for tasks, according to an eyebrow-raising new study in the journal Nature. “Using AI creates a convenient moral distance between people ...

Back in 1971, the late physicist Stephen Hawking made an intriguing prediction: The total surface area of a black hole cannot decrease, only increase or remain stable. So if two black holes combine, ...

THE WONDER WEEKS APP recently informed me that my baby understands the distance between objects, which means she understands when I am farther from her and when I am nearer. This means she sometimes ...

Physicists with the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA collaboration have detected the gravitational wave signal (dubbed GW231123) of the most massive merger between two black holes yet observed, resulting in a new ...

I try to use VGGT to generate point clouds from monocular images, and then calculate the distance between two objects using the point cloud. However, when I directly use the 3D bounding boxes of the ...

Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm afternoon, he saw an apple fall from a tree and wondered why it should fall down ...

Why it matters: Researchers at Oxford University published a paper in Nature last week describing how they used quantum teleportation to transfer data between two quantum computers placed about two ...
