TNWTechnology Researchers say this combo of old-school invisible ink and AI is ‘uncrackable’ verified_publisherTNW - Tristan GreeneA team of researchers from the Harbin Institute of Technology in China have developed a system by which invisible ink and a basic cipher can be combined with relatively simple AI to create an ‘uncrackable’...
TNWUniverse Carnegie Mellon researchers trained AI to simulate our universe on a GPU verified_publisherTNW - Tristan GreeneSimulating the universe is difficult. There are, after all, potentially infinite variables to consider. Scientists typically use supercomputers to crunch data at the cosmological level, but a team of from...
TNWArtificial Intelligence How politicians manipulate the masses with simple AI verified_publisherTNW - Tristan GreeneWe’re three and a half years away from electing another president here in the US, but it’s never to early too prepare ourselves for the impending crapshow that is US politics. The good news is, going you...
TNWRadiation Massive stellar flare from our closest star is a bad sign for aliens verified_publisherTNW - The ConversationThe Sun isn’t the only star to produce stellar flares. On April 21, 2021, a team of astronomers published new research describing the brightest flare ever measured from Proxima Centauri in ultraviolet...
TNWAnimals A scientist created emotion recognition AI for animals verified_publisherTNW - Tristan GreeneA researcher at Wageningen University & Research recently published a pre-print article detailing a system by which facial recognition AI could be used to identify and measure the emotional state of farm...
TNWSpeed Of Light Can we travel faster than the speed of light? New mathematical models say… ‘maybe’ verified_publisherTNW - The ConversationThe closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri. It is about 4.25 light-years away, or about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion km). The fastest ever spacecraft, the now- in-space Parker Solar Probe will reach...
TNWPhysics Want to trap antimatter? Blast it with lasers verified_publisherTNW - The ConversationAntimatter is believed to play a huge part in the story of our universe. It’s the counterpart to matter: identical in every way – with protons, neutrons and electrons – but with an opposite electric charge....
TNWCell Biology People with Y chromosomes have shorter lifespans thanks to ‘toxic’ DNA verified_publisherTNW - Tristan GreeneScientists at UC Berkeley may have figured out why humans and other species with Y chromosomes tend to have shorter lifespans than their XX-chromosome counterparts. According to their research, our DNA...
TNWAlgorithms Study shows how dangerously simple it is to manipulate voters (and daters) with AI verified_publisherTNW - Tristan GreeneA pair of researchers, Ujué Agudo and Helena Matute of Universidad de Deusto in Spain, recently published a fascinating study demonstrating how easy it is to influence humans with algorithms. Up front:...
TNWPhysics New research: We won’t travel faster than light anytime soon, but we might be able to distort the flow of time verified_publisherTNW - The ConversationIn 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a radical technology that would allow faster than light travel: the warp drive, a hypothetical way to skirt around the universe’s ultimate speed limit by the...
TNWGenetics What we can learn from sequencing 1 million human genomes with big data verified_publisherTNW - The ConversationThe first draft of the human genome was published 20 years ago in 2001, took nearly three years and cost between US$500 million and $1 billion. The Human Genome Project has allowed scientists to read,...
