Artificial Intelligence is beginning to improve itself. In today's video I have a summary of recent events. Are we ready for the intelligence explosion? I think not.
This episode of Space Minds is from SpaceNews’ recent event on orbital data centers. There, SpaceNews journalists talk with industry leaders and analysts about what’s driving interest in the technology, […]
Physicists believe that 80% of the matter in the universe is made of ‘dark matter’ that we can’t see. But despite decades of work, they haven’t been able to confirm that this matter really exists. In the past years, physicists have been rethinking the dark matter idea… but not in the way you might expect. Let’s take a look.
Pendant longtemps, prédire le vainqueur d’une Coupe du monde relevait presque de la divination. Aujourd’hui, les algorithmes sont à l’œuvre. En combinant statistiques, expertise sportive et apprentissage automatique, des chercheurs simulent des milliers de scénarios pour estimer les chances...
Pour le moment, c'est lui la star de la Coupe du monde de football : le Trionda est le ballon officiel de l'édition 2026. Fruit de décennies de recherches, il est scruté par les ingénieurs et les joueurs. Ses performances aérodynamiques, testées en soufflerie, son design audacieux et ses...
Com milhares de modelos, edição de fotos e vídeos com IA e colaboração em tempo real, o Canva é a plataforma criativa que transformou o design numa competência ao alcance de qualquer pessoa, sem exigir experiência.
Last year, Microsoft announced its Majorana quantum computing chip, which supposedly used topological qubits to make calculations. The problem was that the paper published alongside the announcement didn’t show any evidence for those claims. Now they’ve announced a new quantum chip. Is it any better this time?. Let’s take a look.
No podcast especial do projeto Segue os Teus Direitos, Ricardo Lafuente, designer e ativista da D3 – Defesa dos Direitos Digitais, explica como técnicas de design manipulador continuam a condicionar decisões dos utilizadores e porque a regulação europeia é essencial para travar abusos.
The Dutch company ASML is the only company that produces a special type of machine used to produce microchips, which are a key component of many modern technologies. Now, companies across the globe are looking to break ASML’s monopoly using a wide variety of new processes. Let’s take a look at this microchip manufacturing melee.
This episode of Space Minds is from SpaceNews’ recent event on orbital data centers. There, Jeff Foust talks with talks with Founders Fund’s Delian Asparouhov about why he’s warming to […]
Scientists say that they’ve just detected a massive cloud of gas some 3 billion lightyears in diameter, floating in space roughly 7 billion light years away from us. This is pretty cool, but the problem is that our current models of the universe say that it (and other massive structures like it) just shouldn’t exist. Let’s take a look.
According to predictions from weather organizations across the planet, a super El Niño weather event is likely to begin over the next few weeks. It’s predicted to drive up temperatures across the globe, bringing increased chances of heatwaves, drought, wildfires, and even famines – plus, this year’s El Niño is likely to be stronger than usual, making those effects worse. Let’s take a look.
When you try to combine quantum physics with Einstein’s theories, you quickly run into some pretty serious problems. The biggest is that causality – the order in which events occur – becomes uncertain as the rest of quantum physics. A group of physicists have leveraged that uncertainty, and are now claiming that they can send messages to the past using quantum mechanics. It’s not as crazy as it
Investors across the globe are putting record amounts of money into cold fusion technology, which promises to bring us nuclear fusion without the need to create miniature stars on Earth. But are these companies actually delivering, or is this just another speculative tech bubble? Let’s take a look.
Life on Earth has a peculiar property – many biological molecules have a handedness, or a “chirality.” DNA twists one way and not the other, and all the rest of life must fit to this reality. In a new paper, researchers say they know why: It all comes down to physics! The answer could change our understanding of life across the universe. Let’s take a look.
Generating electricity via nuclear fission is a great idea, at least in principle. But the risk of nuclear meltdowns causing mass destruction and long-lasting contamination isn’t appealing. Luckily, a crop of companies are looking to solve this problem by creating subcritical nuclear reactors, which generate power without ever making runaway nuclear reactions possible. Let’s take a look.
