Scientists reveal a lost eight billion light years of universe evolution Last year, the Advanced LIGO-VIRGO gravitational-wave detector network recorded data from 35 merging black holes and neutron stars. A great result—but what did they […]
Research finds some AI advances are over-hyped Is it possible some instances of artificial intelligence are not as intelligent as we thought? Call it artificial artificial intelligence. A team of computer graduate students reports that […]
Google Engineers ‘Mutate’ AI to Make It Evolve Systems Faster Than We Can Code Them Much of the work undertaken by artificial intelligence involves a training process known as machine learning, where AI gets better at […]
Physicists Create a Device That Can ‘Forget’ Memories, Just Like a Human Brain The brain is the ultimate computing machine, so it’s no wonder researchers are keen to try and emulate it. Now, new research has taken […]
When experiments are run at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator, it’s a tremendous event. The world’s largest machine has been responsible for discovering numerous new subatomic particles, including the ultra-elusive Higgs boson. And lately, its data […]
It’s called the widowhood effect: the increased chance of death, particularly in older couples, when a person loses their spouse. Now, scientists have discovered new evidence for why broken hearts and widowhood are in themselves a deadly […]
