When studying how behaviors or cognitive abilities are represented in the brain, neuroscientists often examine them one by one. However, brains don’t work that way. We know intuitively that learning builds on itself – you probably couldn’t have learned algebra without first grasping arithmetic. A new study suggests how such additive learning might happen. The … Read more
Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in creating a more stable and coherent quantum system by utilizing topological quantum magnetism. This achievement has the potential to overcome one of the major challenges facing the development of viable quantum applications – protecting them from external environmental influences that can cause decoherence. Decoherence is a phenomenon where … Read more
Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have mapped over 50,000 mysterious “knots” called i-motifs in the human genome. These unique structures could play a key role in gene regulation and disease diagnosis. DNA is well-known for its double helix shape, but it also contains unusual knot-like structures called i-motifs. The study published in … Read more
NASA has achieved a major milestone with the successful deployment of its Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3) spacecraft. The spacecraft, which launched on April 24 on Rocket Lab’s Electron vehicle, has been observing the solar sail’s performance in space. The ACS3 spacecraft features a unique technology that harnesses the power of sunlight to propel … Read more
The Boeing Starliner spacecraft, which arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) in June, has been making some unusual sounds while docked. NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore reported hearing a strange noise coming from inside the spacecraft on Saturday. The sound, described as a “sonar ping,” was picked up by the speakers inside … Read more
Novatron, a private fusion energy company, has made significant strides in the clean energy arena with its innovative technology. The company’s axisymmetric tandem mirror (ATM) design aims to achieve stable plasma confinement and is a significant step towards fusion power generation. The Novatron reactor is built upon the concept of a magnetic mirror machine, which … Read more
Multi-agent systems are gaining traction across various domains, leveraging generative AI models and specialized tools to tackle complex problems. These systems distribute tasks among agents, offering a sophisticated approach to problem-solving that extends beyond single-agent capabilities. However, developing and deploying multi-agent systems is hindered by the complexity of their configuration and debugging. Developers must carefully … Read more
GitHub has been exploited to distribute the Lumma Stealer information-stealing malware, masquerading as fake fixes in project comments. The campaign was initially reported by a contributor to the teloxide rust library, who noticed five different comments on their GitHub issues that pretended to be fixes but were actually pushing malware. Upon further investigation, BleepingComputer found … Read more
Renowned author Stephen King took to social media platform X to poke fun at billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk over a recent mishap involving his rocket manufacturing company SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The incident occurred when the first-stage booster of the Falcon 9 rocket toppled over in flames while landing on a droneship in the … Read more
DeepCool, a cooling products manufacturer sanctioned in June for selling products to Russian companies supporting the war against Ukraine, has penalized its Chinese distributor for selling its products under a different name on Amazon. The company claims that the action was not authorized and violates their contract. The issue came to light when YouTuber Greg … Read more
