太空數據或能修復AI在阿茲海默症上的盲點
mass balance將微重力實驗室送入軌道，以研究谷歌alphafold無法建模的蛋白質，旨在填補長壽研究中的關鍵數據空白。
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.
