After repurposing facial recognition and deepfake tech to study galaxies and the Higgs boson, physicists think they can help shape the responsible use of AI.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: How Quickly Can Atoms Slip, Ghostlike, Through Barriers?
A new experiment on how rapidly atoms can tunnel through a barricade revives a physics debate about how time passes on the quantum scale.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: The Equity-Diversity-Inclusion Industrial Complex Gets a Makeover
Companies and universities have long relied on seminars to reduce racism, despite lackluster results. Maybe institution leaders can salvage the format.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: These Bacteria Ate Their Way Through a Really Tricky Maze
Microbes are well known for working together in stressful environments. Scientists wanted to see how they would fare at a labyrinthine brain teaser.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: This Lab ‘Cooks’ With AI to Make New Materials
A Toronto lab recycles carbon dioxide into more useful chemicals, using materials it discovered with artificial intelligence and supercomputers.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Physicists Clear the Air With a Sweet Frickin’ Laser Beam
Fast laser pulses produce a shock wave in air that pushes water vapor aside. That clears channels in clouds for transmitting optical data from satellites.
