Google DeepMind, the AI research lab of Google, has announced Veo 2, a next-generation video-generating AI model that can create two-minute-plus clips in resolutions up to 4k. This model surpasses OpenAI’s Sora in terms of resolution and duration, and is expected to be available on Google’s Vertex AI developer platform soon. Veo 2 has improved…
A team of international researchers has made a groundbreaking discovery at the Jefferson Lab in the US, successfully probing the internal structure of the neutron using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS12). The experiment measured generalized parton distributions, providing a detailed picture of how the neutron’s constituent quarks contribute to its momentum and spin. This…
A recent study has found a link between exposure to extreme heat events and molecular changes that could reflect accelerated aging. The research, which analyzed DNA markers in over 3,000 people, suggests that prolonged exposure to hot weather can lead to biological deterioration, potentially developing into disability. The study’s findings highlight the need to understand…
A new viral altcoin, Lightchain AI, is emerging as the next project with the potential to outpace Solana. Priced at just $0.003 during its presale, Lightchain AI combines blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) in ways that have analysts and investors buzzing. The project’s unique features, including its Proof of Intelligence consensus mechanism and Artificial Intelligence…
Researchers have made several groundbreaking discoveries in 2024, including possible evidence of ancient life on Mars, hints that Alzheimer’s disease can spread from person-to-person, and a slew of other scientific findings that could be a big deal. These discoveries have the potential to rewrite the history of the universe, challenge our understanding of plate tectonics,…
Argentina’s science community is facing a severe crisis due to the country’s economic situation. President Javier Milei’s austerity measures have led to a significant reduction in the budget for science and research, causing a massive brain drain and threatening the country’s scientific progress. Researchers are struggling to make ends meet, and many are considering leaving…
Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery about the structure of axons, the thin tendrils that transmit messages in the nervous system. Using a high-pressure freezing method, scientists found that axons may have a beaded or pearled shape, rather than the smooth lines previously thought. This new finding could have significant implications for our understanding of…
Physicists in Europe have successfully demonstrated the relationship between quantum uncertainty and wave-particle duality, confirming a 2014 theoretical prediction. The experiment, conducted by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden, used orbital angular momentum states of light to show that a minimum level of uncertainty must always result when a measurement is made on a quantum…
Physicists at the University of Ottawa have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of photonics, where a laser beam cast a shadow in a ruby crystal. This phenomenon occurs due to unusual photon-photon interactions in a highly nonlinear medium, which could have significant implications for laser fabrication and imaging. The team’s experiment demonstrates that…
