Science and technology, explained simply
It turns out that teaching an artificial intelligence model to be evil is not a difficult task. However, such an adventure can be more than dangerous in the long run. This is stated in the study, which published on the arXiv preprint site. The article is currently awaiting review by the scientific community. According to […]
At a recent press conference, the Canton of Zurich presented an exciting find – an intact medieval glove dating back to the 14th century. It was discovered during excavations southeast of Kiburg Castle, Switzerland,writes HeritageDaily. Kieburg Castle, also known as Chuigeburch (meaning “cow castle”), is an important historical site. Today, it is one of the […]
Mathematicians from the UK have figured out how many tickets you need to buy to guarantee a lottery win. They disclosed this figure and even provided their calculations. However, such a scheme works in the British lottery. It is unknown whether it will be suitable for the Ukrainian system. How many lottery tickets should I […]
Scientists believe that additional freshwater inflow into the North Atlantic could trigger a collapse of ocean currents. Greenland’s ice sheet is melting 20% faster than thought and, according to recent studies, is losing 30 million tons of ice per hour due to the climate crisis. The graph shows how the Jakobsgavn glacier has been retreating […]
The deadly virus, known as GX_P2V, attacked the brains of rodents that are close in genetic structure to humans. This was reported by the New York Post, citing a study published last week in Beijing. The deadly virus is a mutated version of GX/2017, a cousin of the coronavirus that was reportedly discovered in Malaysian […]
The latest photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope captures the collision of two spiral galaxies, NGC 6040 and LEDA 59642, at a distance of about 570 million light years from Earth. This incredible cosmic event looks spectacular and dynamic, but in fact it is quite slow and will take hundreds of millions of years. […]
A group of scientists from Aarhus University has developed an innovative technology that can change the situation with the recycling of clothing containing elastane. Elastane, which provides elasticity to materials, is often found in blended fabrics, which complicates the recycling process. Associate Professor Steffan Quist Christensen and his colleagues have developed a method to completely […]
More than a quarter of a century has passed since Dolly the sheep became the first cloned mammal, and now scientists are announcing a new breakthrough: they have finally managed to successfully clone a species known for its closeness to humans, the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta), the Daily Mail reports. Chinese researchers claim to have […]
First discovered in the permafrost of Siberia in 2012, the huge craters are more than 50 meters deep and more than 20 meters wide. These craters continue to appear in this region of the Earth and have puzzled scientists for many years. The authors of the study, published on the EarthArXiv preprint server, propose a […]
Scientists from Saitama University in Japan have filmed a video showing how plants perceive and respond to danger signals from their neighbors. Plants use a fine mist of airborne compounds to communicate and protect themselves from each other. The researchers installed a pump to transfer compounds released by insect-damaged plants to their undamaged neighbors. Using […]
