YNU researchers have developed a chemical vapor deposition technique for synthesizing ordered structures of ceramic eutectic systems. potential applications include radiation imaging and solid-state lighting. Credit: Yokohama National University The eutectic structure of metals and ceramics occurs when multiple solid phases solidify from a liquid phase, forming a three-dimensional (3D) pattern through a self-organizing phenomenon. Traditionally, it was believed that eutectic structures could only be obtained through a melt-solidification process. Researchers at Yokohama National University (YNU) have developed a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process that allows precursor gases to react and generate solid-state composites with ordered structures in a YAG…

Nutraceuticals are a class of products such as pills, powders, bars and tinctures with ingredients derived from plant and animal food products. Their manufacturers claim that, among other things, these supplements can fight cancers or heart disease, boost gut health or improve general wellness. Pharmacy aisles and Internet ads are chockablock with these products, which are something between vitamins and processed foods (many, but not all, nutraceuticals contain vitamins). Market research estimates they were worth around $400 billion globally in 2021. But some items in this market could pose a threat to human health and safety, and Congress should empower…

In a world where even Android phones priced below Rs. 20,000 can do pretty much everything the average person might need, Apple’s Pro tier of iPhones, which all cost well over Rs. 1,00,000, have to push above and beyond.

This is the route that Apple has taken for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max – they don’t do anything drastically new and they don’t look much different, but there are a few updates that might make you…

Chatbots use statistical models of human language to predict what words should come nextLaurence Dutton/Getty Images Artificial intelligences that are trained using text and images from other AIs, which have themselves been trained on AI outputs, could eventually become functionally useless. AIs such as ChatGPT, known as large language models (LLMs), use vast repositories of human-written text from the internet to create a statistical model of human language, so that they can predict which words are most likely to come next in a sentence. Since they have been available, the internet has become awash with AI-generated text, but the effect…

Credit: Zhou lab A new article titled “The complete reference genome for grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) genetics and breeding” has been published in Horticulture Research. This gap-free PN_T2T genome (494.87 Mb) has improved significantly over previous versions. The contiguous N50 length of PN_T2T was ~ 250 times higher than that of 12X.v0 (25.93 Mb versus 102 kb), and all the 9429 gaps in 12X.v0 were filled in PN_T2T genome. Orientation errors in 12X.v0 were also corrected such as inversions and translocations compared to PN_T2T. The authors found the telomere repeat…

Buckthorn seedlings on the forest floor. Credit: Michael Schuster According to new research from the University of Minnesota, buckthorn managers have long overestimated the plant, and in doing so, have given the invasive tree a significant advantage in spreading widely and pushing native species out of woodlands and forests throughout eastern North America. In their recently published article in the journal Biological Invasions, the research team explains how the often-discussed timeline of buckthorn growing from seed didn’t match what they or any of their collaborators across Minnesota saw in nature.

For years, the endlessly delayed Avatar sequel was like a running joke in Hollywood. It was first announced not long after the original movie became the biggest hit in film history, but kept getting pushed back.

Then he’d tease even more sequels down the line, and get back to work.Avatar: The Way of Water finally opened in theaters late last year, and like its predecessor soon became one of the highest-grossing pictures in all of cinema history.

April 10 was a very bad day in the life of celebrity gamer and YouTuber Atrioc (Brandon Ewing). Ewing was broadcasting one of his usual Twitch livestreams when his browser window was accidentally exposed to his audience. During those few moments, viewers were suddenly face-to-face with what appeared to be deepfake porn videos featuring female YouTubers and gamers QTCinderella and Pokimane—colleagues and, to my understanding, Ewing’s friends. Moments later, a quick-witted viewer uploaded a screenshot of the scene to Reddit, and thus the scandal was a fact. Deepfakes refer broadly to media doctored by AI, commonly to superimpose a person’s face onto…
