The idea of Dyson Spheres was a radical proposal by the physicist Freeman Dyson, an enormous shell of material enveloping a star. Dyson’s idea may be over half a century old, but interest in looking for such objects has only grown in the decades since. But how would such structures work? Are they physically even possible? And what might someone use them for? Today, we dive into the physics of Dyson spheres. Written & presented by Prof. David Kipping. Edited by Jorge Casas.

In this article, Roman Ponomarenko, sound designer and composer with 20+ years of professional experience, explores the transformative potential of AI in sound design and what this means for the future of music.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is already making significant progress in music and sound design. However, will the sophisticated AI of the future eventually replace human professionals in these fields? Navigating such a complex issue proves to be quite challenging, as AI brings forth a mix of exciting opportunities and daunting challenges.

Neural Networks have found applications across various domains due to their ability to learn from data and improve over time without human intervention. They can solve challenging problems that are hard or impossible to solve using traditional methods. Here are some of the examples of how neural networks and artificial neurons are used in real-world scenarios:
Voice assistants: Voice assistants like Siri and Alexa use neural networks to understand spoken language commands and questions. They use trained models based on artificial neurons processing vast datasets of speech and text data. They can also generate natural-sounding responses and perform various tasks, such as playing music, setting reminders, searching the web, etc.
Self-driving cars: Self-driving cars use neural networks to perceive the environment and make decisions. They use trained models based on artificial neurons processing vast datasets of images, videos, and sensor data. They can also learn from their own experiences and improve their driving skills over time.
