- AI systems are already skilled at deceiving and manipulating humanson May 10, 2024 at 3:14 pm
Many artificial intelligence (AI) systems have already learned how to deceive humans, even systems that have been trained to be helpful and honest. Researchers describe the risks of deception by AI systems and call for governments to develop strong regulations to address this issue as soon as possible.
- ONe novae stellar explosion may be source of our phosphoruson May 10, 2024 at 3:14 pm
Astronomers have proposed a new theory to explain the origin of phosphorus, one of the elements important for life on Earth. The theory suggests a type of stellar explosion known as ONe novae as a major source of phosphorus.
- How the brain is flexible enough for a complex world (without being thrown into chaos)on May 10, 2024 at 3:14 pm
Many neurons exhibit ‘mixed selectivity,’ meaning they can integrate multiple inputs and participate in multiple computations. Mechanisms such as oscillations and neuromodulators recruit their participation and tune them to focus on the relevant information.
- Transforming common soft magnets into a next-generation thermoelectric conversion materials by 3 minutes heat treatmenton May 9, 2024 at 10:08 pm
A research team has demonstrated that an iron-based amorphous alloy, widely used as a soft magnetic material in transformers and motors, can be transformed into a ‘transverse’ thermoelectric conversion material that converts electric and thermal currents in orthogonal directions, with just a short period of heat treatment. This is the first example that highlights the importance of microstructure engineering in the development of transverse thermoelectric conversion materials, and provides new design guidelines for materials development to realize environmentally friendly power generation and thermal management technologies using magnetic materials.
- GPS-like system shows promise as HIV vaccine strategy to elicit critical antibodieson May 9, 2024 at 9:02 pm
A team has developed a vaccine approach that works like a GPS, guiding the immune system through the specific steps to make broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV.
- Discrimination may accelerate agingon May 9, 2024 at 9:02 pm
Discrimination may speed up the biological processes of aging, according to a new study.
- Good vibrations: New tech may lead to smaller, more powerful wireless deviceson May 9, 2024 at 9:02 pm
What if your earbuds could do everything your smartphone can, but better? A new class of synthetic materials could allow for smaller devices that use less power.
