Reality Is Ruining the Humanoid Robot Hype ​It takes more than building a humanoid robot to build a humanoid robot product.

Worried about the rise of the (bipedal, humanoid) #robots? There are probably more pressing things to worry about: spectrum.ieee.org/humanoid-rob...

Anthropic releases Claude Sonnet 4.5 in latest bid for AI agents and coding supremacy It can run autonomously for 30 hours straight, per Anthropic.

@anthropic.com have released Claude Sonnet 4.5 which can apparently work on task for *30 hours* unsupervised. Th e scary thing: if you got a job there, or failed to, that decision was probably made with the help of the LLM! www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

6,100-Qubit Processor Shatters Quantum Computing Record Another major quantum computing record has been broken, and by a considerable margin: physicists have now built an array containing 6,100 qubits, the largest of its type and way above the thousand or ...

Scientists @caltech.edu have made a #quantum computer with 6100 qubits breaking the record of 1180 held by Atom Computing since 2023. The new machine maintained superposition for 13 seconds, ten times longer than the previous record. www.sciencealert.com/6100-qubit-p...

Maia Sandu’s victory in #Moldova, and the failure of the #Russia backed patriotic bloc is great news for #Europe and #Ukraine!

For a country with an economy underpinned by the export of oil products, this is a very serious situation and one that is particularly hard to hide from the population.

My super-talented tutee there with her balloon skills that says it all.

When I have a moment I’ll do a thread explaining what is going on but in brief LEICESTER IS ON STRIKE!

And that’s that: #Kinlochleven, #Scotland field trip day 5. Not only the last day of this trip, but the last time students from the School of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol come to this beautiful place. Good luck to the students on their independent mapping projects starting tomorrow!

#Kinlochleven University of Bristol School of Earth Sciences geological mapping training fieldtrip Day 4: more sunshine, plus vegetarian Paella for 32!

Mind blowing rocks of Rosso Levanto: mantle peridototes that were carbonated and then weathered on the ocean floor of the Piemont-Ligiria ocean.

Yes, that deserves to be amplified!

Very much tectonic - the result of the Caledonian orogeny, approximately 400 million years ago, when Avalonia and Laurentia were sutured together.

#Kinlochleven University of Bristol School of Earth Sciences geological mapping training fieldtrip Day 2: for three years in a row, awesome weather and awesome views. Plus *folded* cross-bedding!

#molybdenite is commonly found with sulphides inside diamonds. Diamond inclusions are the only samples we have from depths greater than 250km, i.e. most of Earth. That’s why we study them in the Petrology Group, School of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

#Kinlochleven University of Bristol School of Earth Sciences geological mapping training fieldtrip Day 1: great views and Neoproterozoic cross-bedding! #geology

#Kinlochleven University of Bristol School of Earth Sciences geological mapping training fieldtrip Day 0: what you can’t see is how incredibly fresh the air is!

I’m backing the underdog, #Carpathite in today’s #MinCup vote: I wasn’t aware that crystalline polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons existed in nature! PAHs in Antarctic Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001 were briefly considered as evidence that it once contained microbial life.

Some very useful context here about the incursion by #Russia into the airspace of #Estonia yesterday: unprecedented in its details but not unique.

Perovskite fact of round 2: Perovskite type materials have long been studied for their usage in radiation shielding but today I learned other Perovskites are also being studied for radiation detection! Double win for the cubes! #MinCup25 #Perovskite

Vote #perovskite in #MinCup25!

A lot of negativity toward this fine mineral this morning. It isn’t perovskite’s fault that its structure is so remarkable and *inclusive* that its name has been used to describe, amongst many other things, the most abundant mineral in the Earth (now bridgmanite).
