Star Wars makes space travel look easy by breaking the laws of physics. Off-screen, the technology for spacecraft to reach other worlds doesn’t exist yet.
Yes, mayo. The texture of the sandwich spread is perfect for mimicking what a fusion fuel capsule goes through when blasted with lasers.
Nerida Wilson uses artificial intelligence to identify seadragons in photos taken by citizen scientists.
Their long-term safety is still an issue for kids. Meanwhile, a new vibrating robotic pill in early trials might offer an edible alternative to GLP-1s.
A liquid neural network mimics how neurons interact in the brain of a worm. This type of AI can better adapt to new situations.
