太空数据或能修复AI在阿尔茨海默病上的盲点
mass balance将微重力实验室送入轨道，以研究谷歌alphafold无法建模的蛋白质，旨在弥补长寿研究中的关键数据空白。
uk startup mass balance launched a grapefruit-sized autonomous lab into orbit via a spacex transporter to study disordered proteins in microgravity. on earth, gravity causes convection and sedimentation that muddies data, but the company believes zero-gravity conditions will allow for accurate imaging of proteins responsible for alzheimer's and parkinson's. the goal is to generate data to train an ai model adapter, filling a blind spot in models like google's alphafold that cannot predict these protein behaviors. mass balance plans to monetize the model and data licenses, using this initial mission to test the platform's sensors and control elements before analyzing the target proteins.
