NMDA Stabilizes Brain Activity

Summary: Researchers have discovered that the NMDA receptor (NMDAR), known for its role in learning and memory, also stabilizes brain activity by setting baseline neural network activity. This stabilization supports the brain’s adaptability amid constant environmental and physiological changes.

The study revealed that blocking NMDARs disrupted this baseline, highlighting their critical role in maintaining neural homeostasis. Findings may revolutionize treatments for conditions like depression, Alzheimer’s, and epilepsy by leveraging NMDAR’s role in brain stability.

AI Outpaces Humans in Rapid Disease Detection

Summary: A deep learning AI model developed by researchers significantly accelerates the detection of pathology in animal and human tissue images, surpassing human accuracy in some cases. This AI, trained on high-resolution images from past studies, quickly identifies signs of diseases like cancer that typically take hours for pathologists to detect.

By analyzing gigapixel images with advanced neural networks, the model achieves results in weeks instead of months, revolutionizing research and diagnostic processes. The tool is already aiding disease research in animals and holds transformative potential for human medical diagnostics, particularly for cancer and gene-related illnesses.

Did you know that we’ve already seen signs of sentient AI? That’s right, for the first time in history, we are watching as Artificial Intelligence becomes self-aware. It’s only a matter of time until AI develops emotions and thoughts of their own, just like us humans. You’d better start saying please and thank you to ChatGPT because you do not want to get on their bad side. How would the AI Takeover start? Are we already in danger? Is this the end of humanity as we know it?

Northrop Grumman eyes 2026 launch of robot-armed satellite servicer

WASHINGTON — Northrop Grumman’s SpaceLogistics subsidiary is eyeing a 2026 launch for its next-generation satellite servicing vehicle, the Mission Robotic Vehicle (MRV). Equipped with robotic arms developed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), the MRV aims to extend the lifespan of satellites in geostationary orbit more than 22,500 miles above Earth.

NRL announced Nov. 14 that the pair of robotic arms completed crucial thermal vacuum testing and are now at Northrop’s satellite integration facility in Dulles, Virginia. The arms were developed under a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) contract.

“This robotic payload promises to transform satellite operations in geostationary orbit, reduce costs for satellite operators, and enable capabilities well beyond what we have today,” said NRL’s director of research Bruce Danly.

The Third Wave Of AI Is Here: Why Agentic AI Will Transform The Way We Work

The chess pieces of artificial intelligence are being dramatically rearranged. While previous iterations of AI focused on making predictions or generating content, we’re now witnessing the emergence of something far more sophisticated: AI agents that can independently perform complex tasks and make decisions. This third wave of AI, known as ‘agentic AI,’ represents a fundamental shift in how we think about and interact with artificial intelligence in the workplace.

To appreciate where we’re heading, it’s essential to understand where we’ve been. “The first wave was really predictive AI,” explains Silvio Savarese, Executive Vice President and Chief Scientist of Salesforce AI Research. This initial wave enabled businesses to forecast trends and make data-driven decisions. The second wave brought us generative AI, which Savarese describes as the ability to “generate content and allow conversations with humans.” Now, we’re entering the third wave — agentic AI — where AI systems can autonomously execute tasks and interact with other AI agents.

How To Make AI Meaningful For Small Businesses

To many small-business owners, AI still seems like something out of a sci-fi film—abstract, intimidating and not applicable to their lives. While there are many AI business tools available on the market today, most tools aren’t accessible or intuitive enough for the average small-business owner.

In theory, AI can help some SMBs with marketing, product adjustments, bookkeeping, decision-making and more. However, these tools are based on global data found on the web and are blind to business-specific data. Therefore, they don’t take important parameters like the small business’s location, industry and size into account.

To harness the true potential of AI and obtain truly valuable insights, AI systems need detailed information about the business history and future goals of the SMB. This tailored approach ensures that AI tools are not just functional but are strategic assets that contribute meaningfully to business growth and decision-making.
