Ring-shaped disturbances in disks of gas and dust orbiting young stars can trigger the formation of several gas giants. Researchers have come to this conclusion based on a new model that combines all the physical processes involved in planet formation for the first time. According to this model, giant planets can form more efficiently and faster than previously assumed. These results are consistent with recent observations.
But how well do we really know our home?
How can we shift from a state of inattentiveness to one of highest attention? The locus coeruleus, literally the “blue spot,” is a tiny cluster of cells at the base of the brain. As the main source of the neurotransmitter noradrenaline, it helps us control our attentional focus. Synthesizing evidence from animal and human studies, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the University of Southern California have now developed a novel framework describing the way the blue spot regulates our brain’s sensitivity to relevant information in situations requiring attention. Their findings have been published in an opinion article in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences.

The start-up company Meshcapade, a spin-off from the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Intelligent Systems, automates creating realistic digital 3D bodies of people, also known as 3D avatars. Parametric 3D models like SMPL (Skinned Multi-Person Linear Model) are used to create 3D avatars of humans with accurate body shape and motion, using statistics and machine learning. Newer versions of the SMPL Model include SMPL-X (SMPL-eXpressive), which extends SMPL to provide hand motion and facial expressions, and SMIL (Skinned Multi-Infant Linear Model), which enables creation of realistic 3D avatars for infants. Another technology called SMPLify-X even allows generating avatars of people from a single image and produces detailed facial expressions, subtle hand gestures and realistic body movement and has great application potential in the fashion, gaming and film industry. This method can also be used together with SMIL Model to enable 3D movement detection of babies, and thus help with the early detection of developmental disorders. These and other innovations are based on proprietary research work of the MPI that has now been licensed by Meshcapade from Max Planck Innovation.

Kenyans went to the polls on August 7, 2017 in one of the most hotly contested elections in the country’s history. The incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta of the Jubilee party faced Raila Odinga of the opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) for the second time in what was Raila’s fourth and last campaign for the presidency. The stakes of the race were very high because of the ‘winner takes all’ nature of Kenyan politics, historical score-settling between the leading presidential contenders, and looming battles over future succession. The election was also closely watched because for the first time, the effects of Kenya’s new devolved constitution were expected to be felt in its politics.
