CRISPR-powered optothermal nanotweezers allow targeted manipulation of single DNA molecules

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, nanotechnology

For decades, researchers have sought ways to precisely manipulate and identify individual molecules like DNA in liquid environments. Such capabilities could revolutionize areas ranging from disease diagnosis to drug development. However, the randomness of molecular movements in fluids has hindered progress.

Now, scientists from Shenzhen University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong report promising advances in optical tweezing techniques that allow exquisite control over nanoscale biological particles (Light: Science & Applications, “CRISPR-powered optothermal nanotweezers: Diverse bio-nanoparticle manipulation and single nucleotide identification”).

Exclusive: OpenAI researchers warned board of AI breakthrough ahead of CEO ouster, sources say

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI

Nov 22 (Reuters) — Ahead of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s four days in exile, several staff researchers sent the board of directors a letter warning of a powerful artificial intelligence discovery that they said could threaten humanity, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The previously unreported letter and AI algorithm was a key development ahead of the board’s ouster of Altman, the poster child of generative AI, the two sources said. Before his triumphant return late Tuesday, more than 700 employees had threatened to quit and join backer Microsoft (MSFT.O) in solidarity with their fired leader.

The sources cited the letter as one factor among a longer list of grievances by the board that led to Altman’s firing. Reuters was unable to review a copy of the letter. The researchers who wrote the letter did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The 3 most-Googled jobs in the U.S. don’t require a degree—some can pay over $200K

Posted by in category: employment

Americans are falling out of love with jobs requiring bachelor’s degrees and turning their attention toward flexible, college-free careers with six-figure salaries.

On Google, searches for “no degree jobs” reached an all-time high this year in the U.S., according to Google Trends data shared with CNBC Make It.

Close to 75% of jobs in the U.S. that pay more than $35,000 a year require a college degree, but just 38% of Americans have a bachelor’s degree, says Lisa Gevelber, Google’s chief marketing officer for the Americas.

Modu clads Houston building with “self-cooling” walls

Posted by in categories: health, materials

Brooklyn-based studio Modu has employed a series of techniques that lower ambient air temperature in order to help cool the interior and exterior of this Houston building.

Modu inserted pocket gardens, vertical fins, trellises and fluted concrete walls along the length of the exterior in order to create “outdoor comfort” and reduce Houston heat.

The Promenade building is a 15,000-square-foot (1,400 square metre) centre which will host wellness and health clients throughout several offices.

What the data says about Americans’ views of artificial intelligence

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, robotics/AI

Pew Research Center surveys show that Americans are increasingly cautious about the growing role of AI in their lives generally. Today, 52% of Americans are more concerned than excited about AI in daily life, compared with just 10% who say they are more excited than concerned; 36% feel a mix of excitement and concern.

Despite these cautious overall views, Americans see some specific uses of AI positively, and attitudes depend a great deal on the context of how and why AI is being used.

This post summarizes what we know so far about how Americans view AI in everyday life, the workplace, and health and medicine.
