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.

Research upends dogma on ribosomes’ cell development role
Once believed to be indiscriminate gene translators, ribosomes have been found to play critical roles in cell development and function.
Large language models use a surprisingly simple mechanism to retrieve some stored knowledge
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.
Chandelier Cities
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.

Experimental wireless EV charger is just as fast as a superfast wired plug, scientists say
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.
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman defends his $193 million compensation following backlash from unpaid moderators
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.”
