Scientists discover 'levitating' time crystals that you can hold in your hand Time crystals, a collection of particles that "tick"—or move back and forth in repeating cycles—were first theorized and then discovered about a decade ago. While scientists have yet to create commerc...

NYU physics researchers have observed a new type of time crystal—one whose particles levitate on a cushion of sound while interacting with each other by exchanging sound waves.

How Google’s 'internal RL' could unlock long-horizon AI agents Google researchers introduce ‘Internal RL,’ a technique that steers an models' hidden activations to solve long-horizon tasks.

"Instead of training LLMs through next-token prediction, their technique, called internal reinforcement learning (internal RL), steers the model’s internal activations toward developing a high-level step-by-step solution for the input problem."

Artificial intelligence begins prescribing medications in Utah Pilot program will test how far patients and regulators are willing to trust AI in medicine.

"The results showed the AI’s treatment plan matched the physicians’ 99.2 percent of the time."

Sleep Is the Line AI Cannot Cross Sleep is the nightly alchemy that edits memory into identity, while AI, forever awake, can only mimic the day.

"Sleep edits experience into memory and builds the enduring self."

SuperSonic - SuperCollider's Synthesis Engine in the Browser SuperCollider's powerful scsynth audio synthesis engine running in the browser as an AudioWorklet. Zero installation.

In the late 90s a synthesis engine was built - so powerful, it was separated from its language & set free.

Today, running in an AudioWorklet it survives as a soldier of sound.

If you have a web page... if you need real-time synthesis... maybe you can call SuperSonic.

Say Goodbye to Steel: U.S. Scientists Create a "Superwood" That’s Stronger, Lighter, and Surprisingly Green Scientists have turned ordinary wood into a material that rivals steel in strength and weighs far less—and it’s already heading to market. Built from natural fibers but engineered for extreme performa...

Sound Waves Replace Scalpels to Fight Cancer's Toughest Tumors How does a technique called histotripsy turn tumors into a liquid slurry without harming healthy tissue? Learn about this new noninvasive cancer treatment.

HistoSonics’ Edison system uses a water-filled membrane to transmit focused ultrasound into the body. The resulting bubbles expand and collapse within the tumor, producing mechanical stress that destroys cancer cells and liquefies the tumor

Genetically engineered fungi are protein packed, sustainable, and taste similar to meat In a new study publishing November 19 in the Cell Press journal Trends in Biotechnology, researchers used a gene-editing technology called CRISPR to increase a fungus’s production efficiency and...

In a new study publishing November 19 in the Cell Press journal Trends in Biotechnology, researchers used a gene-editing technology called CRISPR to increase a fungus’s production efficiency and cut its production-related environmental impact by as much as 61%—all without adding any foreign DNA.

A smarter way for large language models to think about hard problems MIT researchers developed a smarter way for an LLM to allocate computation while it reasons about a problem. Their method lets the model dynamically adjust its computational budget based on the diffic...

"This new technique enables LLMs to dynamically adjust the amount of computation they use for reasoning, based on the difficulty of the question."

Science history: Russian mathematician quietly publishes paper — and solves one of the most famous unsolved conjectures in mathematics — Nov. 11, 2002 Mathematician Grigori Perelman solved the Poincaré conjecture, and then rejected the $1 million prize that came with it.

Your toothbrush is bristling with bacteria - is it time to change it? Bacteria from our toilets, the cold sore virus and thrush-causing yeast can thrive on our toothbrushes. But there are ways to keep your toothbrush a little cleaner.

Yes.

Scientists create ‘Superwood’ that’s 10 times stronger than steel | CNN A US company has engineered a new type of wood that it says has up to 10 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel, while also being up to six times lighter.

CSS Elevator: A Pure CSS State Machine With Floor Navigation | CSS-Tricks In this article, author Chris Sabourin walk through how modern CSS features can build a fully functional, interactive elevator that knows where it is, where it’s headed, and how long it’ll take to get...

A dash of modern CSS accomplishes so many things that used to require abstractions, dependencies, and tricks (wink, wink).

This one from Christian Sabourin is a great example: custom properties, clamp()-ing, calc()-ing, counters, relational pseudo selectors, etc.

In groundbreaking study, researchers publish brain map showing how decisions are made | CNN An international group of neuroscientists joined forces to produce a landmark neural map, which revealed that decision-making lights up the entire brain.

"The data, gathered from 139 mice, encompass activity from more than 600,000 neurons in 279 areas of the brain — about 95% of the brain in a mouse. This map is the first to provide a complete picture of what happens across the brain as a decision is made."

What Is the Fourier Transform? | Quanta Magazine Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of mathematics and physics. The calculation, called the Fourier transform,…

The Fourier transform is everywhere you look. It has helped scientists to study tides, detect gravitational waves, and develop radar and MRI technology. Here’s how it works.
