Technology is advancing at an exponential rate, yet our ability to control it in the event of catastrophic consequences is almost nonexistent. Many experts warn that some of the technologies currently being developed pose serious existential threats to humanity. In other words, we may be recklessly creating something that could one day destroy us entirely….
A recent study published in the journal Obesity reveals that the timing of exercise can significantly influence blood sugar regulation, particularly in individuals who are overweight or obese. The research highlights that evening exercise may offer the greatest benefits for managing blood sugar levels. Evening exercise and blood sugar The researchers found that exercising in…
China has recently unveiled the MD-22 hypersonic drone, capable of reaching speeds of Mach 7 and operating near space. The drone is reusable, can travel 8,000 km, and carry payloads of up to 600 kg for both military and civilian purposes. It is launched from high-altitude balloons, eliminating the need for traditional runways. While China…
Google recently unveiled its latest quantum chip, Willow, which completed a task in under five minutes that would take today’s fastest supercomputers 10 septillion years to accomplish. This breakthrough further solidifies Google’s position in the quantum race while simultaneously igniting debates within the scientific community. Parallel universes and the quantum realm Hartmut Neven, founder of…
A solar superflare is an extraordinarily powerful energy eruption from the Sun, significantly stronger than regular solar flares. These events release an astonishing amount of energy—up to one octillion joules (a number with 27 zeros). To put this into perspective, the Carrington Event of 1859, which caused global telegraph failures, was only about 1% the…
China has launched the world’s first AI-powered hospital system, where virtual doctors, powered by large language models (LLM), treat thousands of virtual patients daily. This groundbreaking project, developed by researchers at Tsinghua University in Beijing, is not designed as an actual medical facility but as a simulation aimed at training future doctors in a safe…
At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced a significant partnership with Toyota to develop next-generation autonomous vehicles (AV) using the advanced “Thor” AGX processor, marking a new chapter in autonomous driving innovation. This collaboration, unveiled during Huang’s keynote on January 6, represents a crucial step toward making fully autonomous vehicles available…
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 in Las Vegas, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang unveiled Cosmos, a groundbreaking platform designed to accelerate the development of physical AI systems, including autonomous vehicles and robotics. Advancing Physical AI Cosmos represents a significant leap in AI development by enabling the generation of synthetic, physics-aware data crucial for training…
As space exploration advances, geopolitical tensions are increasingly extending into orbit, with nations developing and testing new space-based technologies that could reshape military power dynamics. Among the more unsettling reports from this evolving frontier is speculation about Russia working on a space-based nuclear weapon. Although details are limited, the mere suggestion of such a weapon…
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has recently published a white paper titled Resilience Pulse Check: Harnessing Collaboration to Navigate a Volatile World, which advocates for greater public-private sector cooperation to accelerate the implementation of digital identification systems, censorship of “misinformation,” and private sector investment in support of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While…
