Mediamorphosis: How AI is enabling a new paradigm for work and play

Did you miss a session from MetaBeat 2022? Head over to the on-demand library for all of our featured sessions here.

Text-to-image AI systems such as DALL-E 2, Imagen and Midjourney are growing in popularity and capability right now, offering creators a revolutionary new way to produce content.

Generating images from text prompts is a radical new approach to art-making and creative expression. But it also gives us the first glimpse of a fundamental shift in how we can better communicate and collaborate with our machines. And it is this underlying innovation in human-computer interaction that will disrupt the near-future possibilities for how we are able to work and play.

New Discovery Indicates an Alternative Gravity Theory

Dwarf galaxies are small, faint galaxies that are often found in or close to bigger galaxies or galaxy clusters. As a result, they could be impacted by their larger companions’ gravitational effects.

“We introduce an innovative way of testing the standard model based on how much dwarf galaxies are disturbed by gravitational tides’ from nearby larger galaxies,” said Elena Asencio, a Ph.D. student at the University of Bonn and the lead author of the story.

Tides occur when gravity from one body pulls on various areas of another body differently. These are comparable to tides on Earth, which form when the moon exerts a stronger pull on the side of the Earth that faces the moon.

Teleportation Is Here, But It’s Not What You Think

Teleportation is already real, but it’s probably not exactly how you imagine it. With the Metaverse in play, entering a virtual room is already happening. The Metaverse is a virtual space where people can interact and socialize with each other through technology. Even though we are not yet there with physical teleportation, virtually, we can pin ourselves anywhere we want. Let’s learn about this and other cool inventions that seem like they come straight from the future!

In a first, a breakthrough by Chinese scientists puts hypersonic weapons on aircraft carriers

The innovative technique for the speedy repair and service of hypersonic weapons had passed stringent field tests in challenging combat settings.

Designed to be launched from an aircraft (not a carrier), these weapons can be used as anti-satellite weapons or go after a wide range of high-value targets in the air, according to the People’s Liberation Army researchers led by Xiao Jun, a scientist with the China Airborne Missile Academy in Luoyang, Henan province.

Scientists Made a Breakthrough on Life’s Origin and It Could Change Everything

Since the 1990s, scientists have cataloged thousands of planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets. Some of these are massive and gaseous, while others are tiny and rocky like our home world. But a recent analysis suggests that some of these exoplanets might be more dense and have more water than previously thought, which has big implications for alien life.

Video: Here is a spooky robotic arm that can fool people into believing it’s a real human hand

Beware! This robotic arm has a powerful grip.

What would be your first reaction when you see a grey-colored robotic hand mimicking your real hand’s (assuming that the reader is a human) movements and functions? You’d be shocked and spooked, right? Well, a robotics company in Poland has managed to create such an unbelievable artificial hand for real, New Atlas.

A robotic hand that looks and works almost like a human hand is about to arrive in the market by 2023. Here is everything you want to know about the science and underlying technology that makes this innovation work.
