TBB cluster explorer — grouping a day of Himawari-9 brightness temperatures

Can a computer rediscover a coastline it has never seen? A weather satellite photographed the heat of one patch of Japanese coast every ten minutes for a day — 142 pictures, two of the day's slots missing.

Pleiades membership — which stars move together?

Can motion and distance separate the Pleiades from unrelated stars in the same patch of sky? A space telescope measured the position, motion, distance and light of thousands of stars around the Pleiades.

Superconductor regression explorer — predicting critical temperature from composition features

Can a computer predict how cold a material has to be made before electricity flows through it with no loss at all? Twenty-one thousand materials that laboratories have already tested, each described by eighty-one numbers worked out from its chemical recipe, next to the temperature at which it was…
