❷USTC achieves DNA logic operation-driven nano-supercrystal construction

The research team of the University of Science and Technology of China published an important research result in the international academic journal "Journal of the American Chemical Society". They used programmable DNA chain replacement reaction to precisely control the nanoparticle catalytic assembly process, successfully constructed a series of DNA logic operation devices without signal leakage, and for the first time realized the construction of large-scale three-dimensional colloidal supercrystals driven by DNA molecular logic. This achievement makes it possible to build more complex and larger-scale DNA logic systems, and shows broad application prospects in fields such as information security. (Ai Jiwei)

❹ Tesla obtains new patent related to neural networks

Tesla obtained a patent on Tuesday that creates a system and method for adapting a neural network model on a hardware platform. The patent application states that the method includes obtaining neural network model information covering decision points related to the neural network, wherein one or more first decision points are associated with the layout of the neural network. It is also necessary to point out that machine learning applications often require the implementation and/or configuration of neural networks on platforms that have not been implemented before.
