5,000-year-old bacteria thawed in Romanian ice cave

Popular Science

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Whether it's the ocean's deepest hydrothermal vents or tall mountain peaks, bacteria is likely surviving and thriving. Ice caves can host a wide variety of microorganisms and offer biologists a bevy of genetic diversity that still has to be studied. And it could help save lives. A team of scientists in Romania tested antibiotic resistance profiles with a bacterial strain that was hidden in a 5,000-year-old layer of ice inside an underground ice cave.

The spike firing rate is defined as the proportion of non-zero elements in the spike tensor. In Table S1, we present the spike firing rates for all spiking tensors in spike-driven Transformer-8-512. SNNs are theoretically more energy efficient than counterpart ANNs. We employ two types of datasets: static image classification and neuromorphic classification. ImageNet-1K is the most typical static image dataset, which is widely used in the field of image classification.
