New Study Uses AI to Reveal Dry Origins of Mars’ Mysterious Slope Streaks
- Thursday May 22, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A new study by researchers at Brown University and the University of Bern used machine learning to analyze 86,000 high-resolution images of Mars. Their findings suggest that recurring slope lineae (RSLs)—dark streaks once thought to indicate liquid water—are actually caused by dry processes like wind and dust movement. With over 500,000 feature...
