A simple design overcomes a substantial limitation on the potential applications for coherent perfect absorbers.
He survived despite hypothermia.
On Thanksgiving that we left behind, a miracle happened. A 28-year-old man fell from one of Carnival’s cruise ships and went missing in the Gulf of Mexico. He was rescued after “15 hours.”
He was rescued 20 miles south of Southwest Pass.

As CNN reported, a brother and a sister set off with Carnival Valor from New Orleans, and the accident happened in the first hours of the voyage. Rescue efforts began after it was understood that the passenger had fallen. At least one seasoned mariner was shocked by what transpired next and said, in hindsight, after several hours, that it was unlike anything he had ever seen.

The study was published in Science Advances today. Takamitsu Maruyama, Daigaku Hasegawa, senior author Wei Hsu, and others reveal two ground-breaking discoveries, including a new understanding of the multifaceted protein-catenin.

Van Heurck et al. identify CROCCP2, a hominid-specific gene duplicate, as a human-specific modifier of neurogenesis in the developing cerebral cortex. They find that CROCCP2 is necessary and sufficient to enhance human cortical progenitor amplification and acts by decreasing primary cilia dynamics and enhancing the mTOR pathway.

A new study finds surprising evidence of the self-evolution of urban foxes.
The goal of achieving what is called artificial general intelligence — or the capacity of an engineered system to display human-like general intelligence — is still some time off into the future. Nevertheless, experts in the field of AI have no doubt accomplished some major milestones along the way, including developing AI capable of deep neural reasoning, tactile reasoning, and even AI with rudimentary social skills.
Now, in yet another step toward AI with more human-like intelligence, researchers from IBM, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University have developed a series of tests that would evaluate an AI’s ability to use a machine version of “common sense” — or a basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge in a manner that is shared by nearly all humans.
