What does freedom mean to you? In the anime world, it’s what many a protagonist strives for. It’s the ultimate goal, the true way to live life, the path to do anything your heart desires. And then there’s Attack on Titan, which despite its very fictional approach, displays the setbacks and trappings of freedom, being “special,” and humanity at large. It also shows that freedom doesn’t mean what a lot of people think it does. In the United States, everyone yearns for freedom. Why shouldn’t they?

Smart voice assistants are a popular way for people to get quick answers or play their favorite music. That same technology could make the laboratory safer for scientists and technicians who handle potentially infectious samples. Researchers in ACS Sensors now report a small, voice-activated device that can extract and pretreat bacterial DNA, helping protect those on the front lines of disease outbreaks. The system could also help scientists with disabilities conduct studies more easily. Scientists working with samples containing pathogens need to work with the smallest amounts possible to avoid accidental infection. And for highly contagious bacterial diseases, on-site sample…

Jared starting his residency all over again was bound to be problematic. He has far too much knowledge to be a first-year, especially when he’s been out in the field a while. And on The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 17, his first day went extraordinarily badly because of the expectation that he keep his mouth shut and follow Shaun’s lead. Shaun’s expectations were hypocritical. Not long ago, he and Glassman butted heads over Shaun changing the surgical plan and Lim’s subsequent paralysis. Shaun still struggles with seeing other people’s perspectives, thanks to his autism. Irritatingly, he comes off as…

Think of bringing a pot of water to the boil: As the temperature reaches the boiling point, bubbles form in the water, burst and evaporate as the water boils. This continues until there is no more water changing phase from liquid to steam. This is roughly the idea of what happened in the very early universe, right after the Big Bang, 13.7 billion years ago. The idea comes from particle physicists Martin S. Sloth from the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics Phenomenology at University of Southern Denmark and Florian Niedermann from the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA) in…

The resulting release of energy can eject gigantic plumes of solar material from the sun’s surface out into the solar system. Once launched, CMEs travel millions of miles per hour,…

A new ‘outside-the-box’ method of teaching artificial intelligence (AI) models to make decisions could provide hope for finding new therapeutic methods for cancer, according to a new study from the University of Surrey. Computer scientists from Surrey have demonstrated that an open ended — or model-free — deep reinforcement learning method is able to stabilise large datasets (of up to 200 nodes) used in AI models. The approach holds open the prospect of uncovering ways to arrest the development of cancer by predicting the response of cancerous cells to perturbations including drug treatment. Dr Sotiris Moschoyiannis, corresponding author of the…
