Earth’s largest-ever solar storm discovered through tree rings

Posted by in category: futurism

An international team of researchers has uncovered evidence of the largest solar storm ever identified by studying ancient tree rings.

The evidence points to a colossal spike in radiocarbon levels from 14,300 years ago, found in tree rings from the French Alps.

The colossal storm discovered by the scientists originated from the Sun and was so powerful that a similar event would be catastrophic with modern technology.

Transformers — Intuitively and Exhaustively Explained

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

In this post you will learn about the transformer architecture, which is at the core of the architecture of nearly all cutting-edge large language models. We’ll start with a brief chronology of some relevant natural language processing concepts, then we’ll go through the transformer step by step and uncover how it works.

Who is this useful for? Anyone interested in natural language processing (NLP).

How advanced is this post? This is not a complex post, but there are a lot of concepts, so it might be daunting to less experienced data scientists.

Researchers develop 3D printing method that shows promise for repairing brain injuries

Posted by in categories: 3D printing, biotech/medical, neuroscience

A breakthrough technique developed by University of Oxford researchers could one day provide tailored repairs for those who suffer brain injuries. The researchers have demonstrated for the first time that neural cells can be 3D-printed to mimic the architecture of the cerebral cortex. The results have been published in the journal Nature Communications.

Brain injuries, including those caused by trauma, stroke, and surgery for tumors, typically result in significant damage to the cerebral cortex (the outer layer of the human brain), leading to difficulties in cognition, movement and communication. For example, each year, around 70 million people globally suffer from traumatic brain injury (TBI), with 5 million of these cases being severe or fatal. Currently, there are no effective treatments for severe brain injuries, leading to serious impacts on quality of life.

Tissue regenerative therapies, especially those in which patients are given implants derived from their own , could be a promising route to treat brain injuries in the future. Up to now, however, there has been no method to ensure that implanted stem cells mimic the architecture of the brain.
