A Shifting AI Frontline : Is America Losing The Race To China?

Investors think that AI competition isn’t a single front anymore, but many, and China is moving ahead in several of them.

A Screen That Rivals Reality

Beyond entertainment, such high-fidelity visuals could revolutionize medical imaging, micro-optics, and other fields that rely on precise visual information.

One Mind, Two Bodies: Mind-controlled Movement Across Two People

Imagine the boundary between minds and bodies dissolving. In a striking new experiment, a man with a brain implant was able to control someone else’s hand, and even feel what she felt.

Making “Universal” Organs: How Scientists Are Changing Donor Kidney Blood Types

In a major leap for transplant medicine, scientists have successfully converted a donor kidney from blood type A into what functions as type O, the universal donor type.

All-In On The Sun: Can The $10 B Bet On Fusion Energy Pay Off?

The rush is driven by the urgent need for carbon-free energy, leaps in technology such as AI-driven plasma control, and the growing presence of deep-tech venture capital in the field.

Tiny Hybrid Neurons: Merging Biology And Electronics To Mimic The Real Thing

Researchers have created a remarkable new form of “artificial neuron” that blurs the line between living tissue and electronics: part-biological, part electronic, and very reminiscent of how our real brain cells work.

Nanodust To The Rescue: A New Way To Wash Alzheimer’s Waste From The Brain

Rather than trying to destroy amyloid plaques directly, scientists might instead help the brain clean itself, a gentler, faster, and potentially more sustainable way to fight Alzheimer’s disease.

How Cosmic Dust Could Seed Life On Earth

Life’s origin remains one of science’s biggest mysteries. Was it born from a chemical “primordial soup” on Earth, or carried here from space? A new study points to an unexpected messenger: microscopic cosmic dust.

The Universe Might Be A Cosmic Memory: How Information Could Explain Dark Matter And Dark Energy

In this model, spacetime is made of countless “cells” that act like memory units, recording every physical interaction, every particle movement and force exchange. Nothing is ever truly lost; the universe effectively remembers everything that happens within it.

When AI Collaborates, It May Outperform A Lone Genius

Instead of relying on one AI model alone, the researchers built an “AI council” of five GPT-4 instances that deliberate together.

Fruit Fly Study Reveals Genetic Targets For Rare Childhood Brain Cancer Treatment

The work has already identified potential treatment targets for the deadly cancer that has previously had few therapeutic options.

More Accurate Way Of Predicting Early Blood Cancer Relapse Identified

Combining traditional DNA profiling with newer RNA gene expression testing significantly improves the ability to identify patients at risk of early relapse.
