Can anyone think of a good use for this protein in our cells in the future? Perhaps in space travel? 😁
Freeze ‘em, heat ‘em, blast them into empty space; with survival skills unlike any other organism on the planet, those hardy critters known as tardigrades will only come back for more.
While it’s clear their ability to withstand stress is in part due to their ability to turn their insides into gel, the mechanisms behind this act of metabolic preservation haven’t yet been made clear.
A new study led by researchers from the University of Wyoming found that expressing key tardigrade proteins in human cells slowed metabolism, providing critical insights into how these virtually indestructible invertebrates can survive under the most extreme conditions.
New chip design uses photons rather than electrons to perform calculations, and scientists hope to integrate the technology into future graphics cards to train AI.
Magnetic and electric dipoles, objects with two oppositely charged ends, have a similar symmetrical structure. One might thus assume that they exhibit similar internal structures and physical states.
Mini-Gemini.
Mining the potential of multi-modality vision language models.
In this work, we introduce Mini-Gemini, a simple and effective framework enhancing multi-modality Vision Language Models (VLMs).

Once believed to be indiscriminate gene translators, ribosomes have been found to play critical roles in cell development and function.
Researchers find large language models use a simple mechanism to retrieve stored knowledge when they respond to a user prompt. These mechanisms can be leveraged to see what the model knows about different subjects and possibly to correct false information it has stored.

While we sometimes imagine vast structures rising above the sky, it is possible to have equally vast structures hang down from the sky, and on world’s whose atmospheres are far larger than earth’s, this may be where people choose to live.

This 14-inch wireless charging device works at a rate of 100 kW, scientists claim, meaning it’s up to 10 times as fast as some of the best commercially available alternatives.
Now, Huffman has defended his pay packet in a Q&A video on the platform.
“Look, I’m glad this question was asked because there’s been a lot of commentary on this topic,” he began, adding that his compensation—which is made up of salary and stock—is set by Reddit’s board depending on his performance.
“If the company does well, I will do well,” the CEO added. “If the company does not do well, I don’t either.”
