Abstract: The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment's (HiRISE) imagery of Mars allows for meter scale identification of surface features. In this imagery we can identify boulders clustering on polygonal patterned ground terrains in polar environments on Mars. Previously, terrestrial analogs of Mars were used to explain boulder clustering. However, the ...
Self-assembling nonlinear wire networks in complex virtual environments have some amazing properties: They learn to play computer games such as Tetris, if the network inputs represent the state of the virtual environment and the network outputs control the environment with actuators and if the virtual environment offers energy as a ...
