Spotify has partnered with ElevenLabs to offer AI-narrated audiobooks on its platform, expanding its library of digital audiobooks. This move comes two years after Spotify teamed up with Google Play Books to offer AI-narrated audiobooks. The partnership allows authors to narrate their audiobooks in 29 languages, with the free version offering up to 10 minutes…
Researchers at the University of Vienna have successfully used inverse design to engineer a universal spin-wave-based device that can process data with high energy efficiency. The device, which uses magnons to transfer and process information, has the potential to revolutionize data processing techniques and could be used in applications such as cellular communications, WiFi, and…
A groundbreaking study of the genomes of nearly 6,000 Greenlandic people has shed new light on the genetic history of the Inuit. The research, published in Nature, suggests that the Inuit ancestors rarely moved around after settling the island around 1,000 years ago, leading to a unique genetic makeup that may be linked to certain…
Researchers are making significant strides in treating Hunter syndrome, a rare genetic disorder affecting children. Enzyme replacement therapy, the most popular approach, has shown promise, but challenges remain in addressing neurological aspects of the disease. Companies like Denali Therapeutics are advancing novel approaches, such as using Enzyme Transport Vehicle technology to deliver enzymes across the…
Dogecoin’s price has risen 0.30% after four consecutive days of decline, boosted by new investment talks from Elon Musk’s social media company X. This news has sparked interest in Dogecoin cloud mining, a process where cloud mining service providers are rewarded with new Dogecoins by looking at transactions on the Dogecoin blockchain. Cloud mining service…
A team of researchers has detected a neutrino from space with an unprecedented energy of 220 million billion electron volts, shattering the previous record by a factor of 20. The discovery was made using the partially built Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT) in the Mediterranean Sea. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize our understanding…
Fiverr, a popular gig marketplace, has announced a new initiative that allows freelancers to train AI on their work and use it to automate future jobs. This move aims to equip freelancers with generative AI tools and ensure they receive proper credit and compensation. The platform will launch a program called the “Personal AI Creation…
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have made a significant discovery in the field of cancer treatment. They found that low-temperature plasma, specifically streamer discharge, can inhibit tumour recurrence after surgery by reducing the recurrence rate by roughly 50%. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment and improve patient outcomes. Forecast for 6…
A German graduate student, Britta Späth, encountered the McKay conjecture, a significant open problem in group theory, in 2003. She dedicated her time to solving it, eventually teaming up with mathematician Marc Cabanes, whom she fell in love with. After 20 years of work, the couple has successfully solved the problem, providing a concrete tool…
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the Earth’s inner core, revealing that it is changing shape. This finding, published in Nature Geoscience, has sparked new questions about the potential effects on the planet’s magnetic field, day length, and more. Researchers analyzed seismic waves from earthquakes to determine that the inner core has been deforming…
