Femtosecond lasers etch data into a very stable medium. Right now, Silica hardware isn’t quite ready for commercialization. Credit: Microsoft […]

The nervous system does an astonishing job of tracking sensory information, and does so using signals that would drive many […]

A massive study of political persuasion shows AIs have, at best, a weak effect. Roughly two years ago, Sam Altman […]

The researchers argue that this setup lets Evo “link nucleotide-level patterns to kilobase-scale genomic context.” In other words, if you […]

As a test case, the machine was used to test a model of superconductivity. Quantum computers based on ions or […]

An approach it calls “quantum echoes” takes 13,000 times longer on a supercomputer. The work relied on Google’s current-generation quantum […]

If you define “metabolism” loosely enough, these robots may have one. For decades we’ve been trying to make the robots […]

Its platform needs error correction that works with different hardware. Some of the optical hardware needed to make Atom Computing’s […]
