A team of researchers from GSI/FAIR, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz has succeeded in exploring the limits of the so-called island of stability within the superheavy nuclides more precisely by measuring the superheavy rutherfordium-252 nucleus, which is now the shortest-lived known superheavy nucleus.
Their results are published in Physical Review Letters.

A $7 billion all-electric light rail project is underway in the Capital City. The Austin Light Rail now has a team in place to build the city’s first light rail system, set to shakeup the city’s public transportation in the near future.
Last month, the Austin Transit Partnership selected AECOM, a Dallas-based infrastructure consulting firm, to bring the first phase of the approximately 10-mile light rail to life in Austin, according to a release. Now AECOM is preparing to offer more updates to public on the project’s progress as the organization continues to implement the plan.
In 2022, staff from Hanoi University purchased a selection of ’supergiant’ isopods at a seaford market in Quy Nhơn City in Vietnam, intrigued by a burgeoning market for the deep sea crustaceans as a delicacy.
Among them was a species unknown to science at the time. National University of Singapore carcinologist Peter Ng and colleagues have now formally described the novel sea bug in a new paper.
As the head of the animal’s carapace resembles the iconic scifi helmet adorned by Star Wars’ infamous Darth Vader, Ng and team named the giant woodlice relative Bathynomus vaderi.
Multiagent Finetuning. Our self improvement approach constructs a multiagent set of language models over multiple rounds of finetuning. At each round of finetuning, models specialize to become generation and critic agents, and agents in each further specializing based off their generations in the previous round of finetuning.
General Motors crushed it in 2024, moving just over 114,000 electric Cadillacs, GMCs and Chevrolets. That’s thanks to a stable of heavy-hitters that it was finally able to mass-produce in 2024 following battery-assembly and software snafus.
The Chevy Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq racked up over 50,000 sales combined. The Chevy Equinox EV was GM’s real MVP. Americans snapped up 29,000 of them last year, including a whopping 18,000 in the fourth quarter alone. That’s what happens when you give people what they want: EVs that look great, go over 300 miles per charge and won’t break your budget.
