Physicists at the University of Nottingham have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of magnetism by imaging altermagnets in detail for the first time. The team used a technique developed at the MAX IV international synchrotron facility in Sweden to map the magnetic domains in manganese telluride (MnTe) down to the nanoscale level. This…

Singapore has made significant strides in becoming a global biotech hub, with a growing startup ecosystem and a focus on research and development. The country has invested heavily in the life sciences sector, with billions of dollars poured into the industry over the past two decades. This has led to the emergence of several biotech…
Mira Network, a decentralized AI infrastructure provider, has launched its testnet alongside a next-generation suite of APIs, marking a significant milestone in securing the safety and efficiency of on-chain autonomous AI-driven transactions. The launch enables developers and enterprises to experience Mira’s cutting-edge APIs, designed to deliver increased reliability and affordability in artificial intelligence outputs. Mira’s…
A new book, “Shadows into Light,” by Theresa S. Betancourt, sheds light on the lives of children who were forced to fight in the civil war in Sierra Leone from 1991 to 2002. The book explores the factors that have helped some of these individuals recover and even thrive, highlighting the importance of family, community,…
Researchers at Stanford University have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of nanoelectronics. They have created very thin films of niobium phosphide, a non-crystalline topological semimetal, that conduct electricity better than copper, even in non-crystalline films. This breakthrough could aid the development of ultrathin low-resistivity wires for nanoelectronics applications, enabling the creation of smaller…
Researchers are making significant strides in using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict the evolution of viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. AI tools can now predict which single mutations in a virus will be most successful and which variants will ‘win’ out in the short term. However, predicting combinations of mutations or variants that will…
An international team of researchers has made a groundbreaking discovery in brain analysis, developing new techniques that consider interactions between three or more regions of the brain. This breakthrough could lead to a deeper understanding of human brain activity and potentially aid in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. The team’s approach combines topological…
Physicists at Penn State and Columbia University have made a groundbreaking discovery, spotting the “smoking gun” signature of semi-Dirac fermions, a type of quasiparticle predicted by theorists 16 years ago. These quasiparticles exhibit a unique property, behaving like they have mass only when moving in a certain direction. The team used a crystal of the…
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has successfully collected data during its closest approach to the Sun, marking a significant milestone in solar science. The spacecraft, which has been looping around the Sun since its launch six years ago, has provided valuable insights into the solar wind and the Sun’s outer atmosphere. The data collected during the…
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has made a bold claim that his company’s AI chips are advancing faster than historical rates set by Moore’s Law. According to Huang, Nvidia’s latest data center superchip, the GB200 NVL72, is 30 to 40x faster at running AI inference workloads than Nvidia’s previous best-selling chips, the H100. This performance jump…
