Neural network approach makes AI uncertainty checks far more efficient

20 August 2026 at 20:20
McGill University researchers have developed a more energy-efficient method of building AI systems that are better at measuring—and indicating—their own uncertainty. This will help users determine when human oversight is needed, when additional data should be collected and when a model is being asked to work beyond the conditions it was trained for, the researchers said.

Neptune's tiny moons tell the story of Triton's destructive capture

15 August 2026 at 16:20
Neptune's moon and ring system stand out among the giant planets because of the strange imbalance between its one very large moon and its many tiny moons. Its largest moon, Triton, makes up more than 99% of the mass of all satellites orbiting the planet while orbiting retrograde compared with Neptune's rotation. The predominant theory is that Triton is a captured Kuiper Belt object that caused a major disruption in Neptune's early moon system. Now, a new study published in Science Advances provides spectroscopic evidence to support this theory.
