Cambridge University researchers developed a novel robotic hand that works with minimal finger actuation.

In a significant breakthrough, researchers at the University of Cambridge have designed an energy-efficient robotic hand that can grasp a variety of objects with minimal finger actuation, according to a study published on April 11 in Advanced Intelligent Systems.

By relying on passive wrist movement and tactile sensors embedded in its ‘skin,’ the 3D-printed hand can carry out complex movements, paving the way for low-cost, energy-efficient robotics with more natural and adaptable activities.

In recent years, cancer therapies have often fallen short of expectations, with tumors developing resistance to medication. One such example is alpelisib, a drug approved for use in Switzerland as a treatment for advanced breast cancer.

However, a research group at the Department of Biomedicine of the University of Basel has made a breakthrough in understanding the reasons behind this resistance, publishing their findings in the journal Cell Reports Medicine.

For patients suffering from advanced and metastatic breast cancer, effective treatment options are limited. The PI3K signaling pathway is frequently overactive in breast cancer due to mutations that encourage tumor growth.

The GPT phenomenon and the future of humanity in the face of advances in Artificial Intelligence.

The Age of Artificial Intelligence is an increasingly present reality in our daily lives. With the rise of technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), the possibility of creating machines capable of performing tasks that were previously exclusive to humans has emerged.

One of these technologies is the Generative Pre-trained Transformer, better known as GPT. It’s the Large Language Model (LLM) developed by OpenAI.

OpenAI was founded in San Francisco, California in 2015 by Sam Altman, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Elon Musk, Ilya Sutskever, Peter Thiel, among others, who collectively pledged $1 billion. Musk resigned from the board in 2018, but continued to be a donor to the project.

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.
