Researchers have successfully stimulated human retinas to perceive a previously unseen blue-greenish hue, dubbed ‘olo’, using lasers and tracking technology. This breakthrough has the potential to create new colours and aid people with colour blindness. The method, dubbed Oz, works by controlling the precise doses of light delivered to each cell in the retina. Forecast…

A recent research voyage by the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) program has provided crucial insights into the impact of the Los Angeles wildfires on the ocean. The team, led by biological oceanographer Rasmus Swalethorp, collected samples of ash and water to study the effects of the fires on marine ecosystems. Preliminary findings suggest…
The Wikimedia Foundation has unveiled its new AI strategy, focusing on using artificial intelligence to augment human collaboration and remove technical barriers for editors, moderators, and patrollers. The organization aims to leverage AI in areas where it excels, such as automating tedious tasks, improving information discoverability, and assisting with translation and onboarding processes. This approach…
Researchers have discovered that worms move faster in environments with randomly-placed obstacles than in empty spaces. This phenomenon has been observed to be similar to the behavior of active polymers in disordered mazes. The study’s findings may have significant implications for the development of new technologies, such as more efficient navigation systems and materials with…
The Trump administration’s spending cuts and mass layoffs have crippled the US government’s scientific agencies, making it impossible for scientists to conduct their work. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are among the agencies severely affected, with scientists facing difficulties in hiring, recruiting, and traveling. The situation…
The crypto market is experiencing a surge in demand following the approval of XRP futures by the SEC and the launch of the first XRP-spot ETF in Brazil. This development has led to an increase in the price of XRP, with investors seeking alternative ways to earn crypto. Cloud mining apps have emerged as a…
Researchers at the Public University of Navarre in Pamplona, Spain, have developed a new device that renders 3D graphics, allowing users to reach in and manipulate virtual objects. This technology has the potential to revolutionize hands-on educational tools, museum exhibits, 3D artwork, and video games. The device uses elastic strips to create a seamless interaction…
A recent study published in Nature has revealed that today’s machine learning models are vulnerable to a phenomenon called “model collapse,” where they forget the true underlying data distribution and progressively get weirder and dumber. This is due to the fact that AI models are pattern-matching systems that learn from data produced by other models,…
Researchers at the University of Victoria in Canada have developed a low-cost radiotherapy system called KOALA, designed to provide cancer treatment in low- and middle-income countries and geographically remote rural regions. The system uses kilovoltage X-rays, which are significantly cheaper than megavoltage X-rays used in conventional radiotherapy. Initial performance characterization of the proof-of-concept device has…
