Researchers at East China Normal University have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of synchronization, observing abnormal patterns in a femtosecond fibre laser. These patterns, known as “Arnold’s tongues,” had been theorized to exist but never experimentally confirmed. The study opens up new possibilities for understanding synchronization phenomena and could lead to advancements in…
US President Donald Trump’s comments on not firing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell have sent US stock futures soaring. This news has also led to a surge in interest for KSDMiner, a cloud computing service that allows users to participate in the crypto asset market more easily and efficiently. KSDMiner has seen a significant increase…
A recent study published in Science reveals that Earth’s landmasses have lost trillions of metric tons of water since the early 21st century. This decline is attributed to rising temperatures, which have altered precipitation patterns and intensified evaporation and transpiration. As a result, soil moisture has decreased significantly, leading to droughts and increased sea levels….
Supabase, a New Zealand-based open-source database, has announced a $200 million Series D funding round at a $2 billion post-money valuation. This significant investment comes just seven months after the company raised $80 million, indicating its rapid growth and adoption in the market. Supabase offers an open-source version of Firebase, Google’s database AI app development…
A team of researchers at UC Berkeley has made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of colour vision. They have developed a new retinal stimulation technique called Oz, which enables volunteers to see colours that lie beyond the natural range of human vision. The Oz technique works by stimulating individual cone cells in the retina…
KSDMiner, a cloud mining service, has raised $96.43 million in Series A investment and is simplifying the Bitcoin mining process, allowing users to participate in the crypto asset market more easily and efficiently. This move has led to a surge in trading volume, rising leverage, and increased on-chain activity, potentially ushering in a fierce rebound…
Researchers at Harvard University have successfully created axion imitators, also known as quasiparticles, in a thin sheet of material called manganese bismuth telluride. These quasiparticles mimic the behavior of axion particles, which could explain dark matter, an invisible form of matter inferred from observations of the cosmos. The discovery opens up new possibilities for studying…
Character.AI has unveiled its new video generation model, AvatarFX, which allows users to animate characters in various styles and voices. However, the technology raises concerns over the potential for deepfakes and AI safety, particularly with the ability to animate photos of real people. Character.AI has implemented safeguards, such as watermarks and image filtering, but the…
Researchers from the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment (KATRIN) have announced the most precise upper limit yet on the neutrino’s mass, setting a new limit of 0.45 electron volts (eV) at 90% confidence. This breakthrough brings scientists closer to understanding the fundamental properties of neutrinos, which are ghostlike particles that barely interact with matter. The new…
The UK biotech scene is experiencing a significant surge in funding, with a $700 million influx in the third quarter of 2023. This has led to the development of innovative technologies, with several companies spinning out of the nation’s most prestigious universities. The biotech hubs in the UK, including the famous ‘golden triangle’ of Oxford,…
