Each project will get up to $600,000 over two years to continue developing the concepts.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Innovative Advanced Concepts program has chosen six research teams to receive Phase II funds.

“NASA’s story is one of [the] barriers broken, and technologies transformed to support our missions and benefit all of humanity,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.

These initiatives include a scheme to allow astronauts to manufacture their own medications in orbit and a plan to eliminate asteroids that pose a hazard to Earth, according to a press release by the U.S. Space Agency.

I ve been quite impressed so far. And, if they can be improved over night i would love to see it.

With long-term memory, language models could be even more specific – or more personal. MemoryGPT gives a first impression.

Right now, interaction with language models refers to single instances, e.g. in ChatGPT to a single chat. Within that chat, the language model can to some extent take the context of the input into account for new texts and replies.

In the currently most powerful version of GPT-4, this is up to 32,000 tokens – about 50 pages of text. This makes it possible, for example, to chat about the contents of a long paper. To find new solutions, developers can talk to a larger code database. The context window is an important building block for the practical use of large language models, an innovation made possible by Transformer networks.

Lead author Yurii Victorovich Kovtun, despite being forced to evacuate the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology amid the current Russia-Ukraine war, has continued to work with Kyoto University to create stable plasmas using microwaves.

Getting plasma just right is one of the hurdles to harnessing the massive amounts of energy promised by nuclear fusion.

Plasmas — soups of ions and electrons — must be held at the right density, temperature, and duration for atomic nuclei to fuse together to achieve the desired release of energy.

Scientists have achieved a “temporal analogue” to the famous double-slit experiment that could lead to new optical technologies. ABSTRACT breaks down mind-bending scientific research, future tech, new discoveries, and major breakthroughs. Scientists have discovered “unexpected physics” by opening up “slits” in time, a new study reports, achieving a longstanding dream that can help to probe the behavior of light and pioneer advanced optical technologies.
