The images in the bottom row were recreated from the brain scans of someone looking at those in the top rowYu Takagi and Shinji Nishimoto/Osaka University, Japan A tweak to a popular text-to-image-generating artificial intelligence allows it to turn brain signals directly into pictures. The system requires extensive training using bulky and costly imaging equipment, however, so everyday mind reading is a long way from reality. Several research groups have previously generated images from brain signals using energy-intensive AI models that require fine-tuning of millions to billions of parameters. Now, Shinji Nishimoto and Yu Takagi at Osaka University in Japan…
“Remove the cling wrap or regular bandages as soon as you get home or in an environment where you can clean and wash the area properly—ideally by the end of the same day you received the tattoo,” Wallin says. (Note, however, that some artists use Saniderm or Second Skin bandages that can stay on for several days, he says.)Wash the area gently with soap and warm water twice daily, Dr. King recommends. While the tattoo is healing, apply an occlusive ointment to help the wound seal faster. Then, “only apply a small amount of lotion if the tattoo is flaking…

His presence is very much felt as ATN’s overwhelmed news-network head Tom (the brilliant Matthew Macfadyen) tries to keep his estranged wife Shiv (Sarah Snook) and her co-CEO sibs out of the control room when alarming news breaks and panic sets in. If you thought this week’s televised town hall on CNN was a circus, you ain’t…
Life for all animals, including humans, would be simpler if diseases had a sign saying “beware!” with flashing lights and blaring alarms. Instead, we humans have developed an emotional reaction called disgust. Do other animals share similar protective mechanisms? While fear and predator avoidance have captured much attention in the field of animal behavior, in comparison, little have been published regarding avoidance of disease. An international team of scientists has now set up a framework to test disgust and its associated disease avoidance behaviors across various animal species, social systems, and habitats. “Over 30 species have been reported to exhibit…
Photography by Getty Images This year’s gala, honouring the late Karl Lagerfeld, gave us beauty looks that were equal parts classic and experimental. By Souzan Michael Galway Date May 1, 2023 Talk about a Met Gala to remember. From Rita Ora’s foot-long nail chains (the coolest, albeit most impractical, nail trend ever?) to Naomi Campbell giving signature Naomi at her 16th (!!!) Met Gala, to Emma Chamberlain’s blue smoky eye and extra-long extensions, the Met Gala 2023 beauty looks did not disappoint. This year’s gala, honouring the late Karl Lagerfeld, gave us equal parts classic and understated (think Irina Shayk,…

Sophomore slump? No way! On April 16, 1996, Rage Against the Machine solidified their status as one of rock’s most vital, influential and important acts of their generation with the release of their Evil Empire album.There had been rumors of tensions within the band concerning the album, which arrived nearly four years after their self-titled debut disc. But when quizzed about the delay, guitarist Tom Morello told Kerrang, “Different band members have their different interests that they’ve been pursuing, but principally, the main reason for the delay between records was trying to find the right combination of our very diverse influences…
Another member of the original Avengers team is riding off into the sunset.In a recent interview, Scarlett Johansson announced that she is “done” playing Marvel’s super-spy, Black Widow. While this isn’t the most shocking news — Johansson’s character died while saving half the universe in Avengers: Endgame — it also wasn’t a foregone conclusion that Johansson was definitely finished as Black Widow. She only made her debut headlining her own solo Black Widow film after her character died. (The Black Widow movie was a prequel.)But Johansson told her Marvel co-star Gwyneth Paltrow that she’s moving on from her superhero role in an episode of The Goop Podcast. Johansson…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Disunion: The Mantiz Gambit?

More than three years after the COVID-causing virus first infected humans, possibly via a wild animal sold at a market in Wuhan, China, little has been done to prevent a similar event from happening in the future. Millions of people around the world consume bushmeat, or meat from wild animals—such as the raccoon dogs reported to have been sold at the Wuhan market—that has minimal regulation or monitoring. But now researchers have published a detailed database that maps and predicts the intensity of bushmeat consumption around the world based on factors that include population density, diversity of animal species and…
Over the years, I’ve learned that this particular ensemble needs to meet a strict list of criteria. Firstly, and most importantly, it must be comfortable. That one is a non-negotiable. No rigid jeans or wobbly wedges allowed. It’s also crucial to keep two climates in mind when assembling your outfit; the one you’re leaving and the one you’re arriving into.Of course, the criteria changes depending on the mode of transport and the destination, so I’ve put together four different looks with a variety of circumstances in mind. Whether you’re joining me on the Cote d’Azur or staying in the UK for a relaxing staycation, you’ll find a suitable travel…
Daniel Hickey, a visiting scholar at the USC’s Information Sciences Institute and coauthor of the paper, says that Twitter’s lack of transparency makes it hard to assess whether there was simply more hate speech on the platform, or whether the company made substantive changes to its policies after Musk’s takeover. “It is quite difficult to disentangle often because Twitter is not going to be fully transparent about these types of things,” he says.That lack of transparency is likely to get worse. Twitter announced in February that it would no longer allow free access to its AP—the tool that allows academics and…

In a video posted to his Twitter account, actor and standup comedy legend Richard Lewis revealed that he is retiring from touring — and that he had been diagnosed a few years ago with Parkinson’s disease.In a bit of good news, Lewis was able to participate in the 12th (and rumored to be final) season of the long-running HBO comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm, where he plays a loosely fictionalized version of himself.

Unlocking the secrets of magnetic materials requires the right illumination. Magnetic x-ray circular dichroism makes it possible to decode magnetic order in nanostructures and to assign it to different layers or chemical elements. Researchers at the Max Born Institute in Berlin have succeeded in implementing this unique measurement technique in the soft-x-ray range in a laser laboratory. With this development, many technologically relevant questions can now be investigated outside of scientific large-scale facilities for the first time. Magnetic nanostructures have long been part of our everyday life, e.g., in the form of fast and compact data storage devices or highly…
Chemotherapy treatments produce strong side effects. A new agent that accumulates in the tumour tissue and is activated there by ultrasound waves does not have this problem. Platinum complexes are among the most commonly used drugs against cancer. They are successful, but have severe side effects. An international research team led by Dr. Johannes Karges from the Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, has developed a complex that accumulates in tumour tissue and is activated there by ultrasound waves. Its cell-damaging effect thus only unfolds where it is actually wanted. “Where previous studies relied on light…

The decision to limit the spread of nudity may have been affected in part by the potential future growth of Bluesky as it tries to move out of its beta phase and become a viable alternative to Twitter, according to Are, who believes Bluesky’s team could well be asking themselves questions like: “If we want to grow, and there’s a bunch of people complaining about seeing ass, will we grow if we keep allowing that?”In many ways, Bluesky is encountering—early on in its development—a fundamental question that every online platform or presence eventually has to answer. Sexual expression is a…
