A Hiroshima University-led project has secured a $1.8 million grant to develop a way to store bull semen using simple refrigeration instead of costly cryopreservation, a shift that could remove a major barrier to modern dairy cattle breeding that has long shut out farmers in low-resource regions. If successful, the technology is expected to boost milk yields, stabilize incomes for small-scale dairy farmers, and improve nutrition.
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) is launching three new space projects under Singapore’s Space Technology Development Programme (STDP), marking a major step in accelerating the commercialisation of space technologies developed in Singapore. Among the projects is a satellite that will carry edge-computing artificial intelligence capable of processing data directly in space. Images captured by the satellite will be analysed on board using small AI models and an edge engine, reducing the need to transmit large volumes of raw data back to Earth and enabling faster, more intelligent decision-making in orbit.
To date, generative AI has struggled to create video based on music. While recent video models can produce visually impressive short clips, they tend to be less successful with long-form storytelling, musical alignment and character consistency.
Now, a new system is using songs as the basis for generating complete music videos.
