An oscilloscope in an electronic testing lab Uwe Moser/Alamy Microwaves seem to be able to spend “imaginary time” inside a material, but this bizarre phenomenon has never been shown to correspond to something real and measurable in the lab – until now. When a pulse of radiation, such as microwaves or light, travels through a Continue Reading
A human vascular organoid generated from stem cells Melero-Martin Lab, Boston Children’s Hospital Tiny balls of lab-grown blood vessels helped restore blood flow to injured tissue in mice, minimising necrosis. This approach could one day be used to reduce some of the damage caused by accidents or blood clots. Researchers have previously made clumps of Continue Reading
Are machines about to become smarter than humans? Chan2545/iStockphoto/Getty Images If you take the leaders of artificial intelligence companies at their word, their products mean that the coming decade will be quite unlike any in human history: a golden era of “radical abundance”, where high-energy physics is “solved” and we see the beginning of space Continue Reading
Meta’s geothermal ambitions are growing with a new agreement to support projects in New Mexico. It announced the deal with XGS Energy today, a company developing next-generation geothermal technologies that make it possible to use this energy source in places where it was unfeasible before. The plan is to add 150 megawatts of carbon pollution-free Continue Reading
John Stewart Bell devised a way to measure the strange correlations allowed in the quantum realm CERN Some people think they have a poltergeist in their attic, some say they’ve seen ghosts on dark nights – I have John Stewart Bell. The physicist’s research and his tremendous legacy have been haunting me for years. I Continue Reading
A blood vessel network designed by a computational model Andrew Brodhead A computational model that could rapidly design a blood vessel network for any 3D-printed organ may take us a step closer to transplanting artificial livers, kidneys or hearts without the need for a donor. People with organ failure often require organ transplants, but only Continue Reading
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is about to open a new eye on the universe Olivier Bonin/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory On top of Cerro Pachón, a Chilean mountain that reaches more than 2600 metres above sea level, the air is thin. I have to catch my breath as we climb the stairs inside the dome Continue Reading
Monitoring people’s breathing could help diagnose, or even treat, various conditions Milan Jovic/Getty Images Forget facial recognition – there could be a new way to identify you. Researchers have discovered that we all seem to have a “respiratory fingerprint”, a unique way of breathing that could revolutionise how we diagnose and treat various health conditions, Continue Reading
One of the four pillars of good conversation is levity. You needn’t be a comedian, you can but have some fun Tetra Images, LLC/Alamy Conversation lies at the heart of our relationships – yet many of us find it surprisingly hard to talk to others. We may feel anxious at the thought of making small Continue Reading
Google is using a new AI model to forecast tropical cyclones and working with the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) to test it out. Google DeepMind and Google Research launched a new website today called Weather Lab to share AI weather models that Google is developing. It says its new, experimental AI-based model for forecasting Continue Reading
