3 million custom ChatGPTs

The new store is dubbed the GPT Store, where customers who have subscribed to their ChatGPT Plus service for $20 per month can browse through custom chatbots that offer a range of services such as book recommendations, math tutorials, and scientific paper searches. According to a blog post by the company, the store aims to assist users in discovering popular and practical custom versions of ChatGPT. In an official tweet, the company says users can now choose over 3 million different types of GPTs as per their choice and needs.

The microbiome has a profound influence on our health, but exactly how our resident bacteria wield their power is still unclear. A type of T cell appears to provide some answers for gastrointestinal health, a study of the mouse microbiome finds.

The study, appearing in the journal Immunity, found that when friendly, commensal microbes set up residence inside the gut, their host produces T cells that maintain the health of the gut by counteracting inflammation.

The finding could lead to new treatments for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

Researchers say a new blood test that analyzes protein biomarkers has shown promise in detecting 18 types of cancer in their early stages.

Li-fi, a communication technology harnessing visible light for data transmission, has a potential to surpass Wi-Fi’s speed by more than 100 times and boasts a high bandwidth, facilitating the simultaneous transmission of copious information. Notably, Li-fi ensures robust security by exclusively transmitting data to areas illuminated by light.

Most important, it capitalizes on existing indoor lighting infrastructure, such as LEDs, eliminating the need for separate installations. However, implementing visible light communication (VLC) in practical lighting systems poses an issue of diminished stability and accuracy in data transmission.

Recently, a collaborative team led by Professor Dae Sung Chung, from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), with researcher Dowan Kim, Professor Dong-Woo Jee and Hyung-Jun Park from the Department of Intelligence Semiconductor Engineering at Ajou University, and Professor Jeong-Hwan Lee from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Inha University, succeeded in utilizing indoor lighting for wireless communication by reducing light interference with a novel light source. Their findings were published in Advanced Materials.

A NEW “pill-on-a-thread” sponge could halve oesophageal cancer deaths in Britain, researchers say.

The new tech quickly tests for Barrett’s oesophagus — a heartburn-causing condition that can lead to cancer.

Patients swallow the capsule containing a sponge, which dissolves in the stomach and expands to the size of a 50p coin before being dragged back up the throat, collecting cells.

Big discovery on the patterns of evolution and how it’ll change medicine and even potentially climate change and synthetic biology.

The experts meticulously analyzed the pangenome — a complete set of genes within a species. By deploying a machine learning technique known as Random Forest, and processing data from 2,500 complete genomes of a single bacterial species, the team embarked on a journey to unravel the mysteries of evolutionary predictability.

“The implications of this research are nothing short of revolutionary,” said Professor McInerney, the lead author of the study.

New #openaccess article online: A diamond #Nanophotonic interface with an optically accessible deterministic electronuclear spin register.

By implanting 117Sn, a fibre-packaged nanophotonic diamond waveguide with optically addressable hyperfine transitions separated by 452 MHz is demonstrated. This enables the formation of a spin-gated optical switch and achieving a waveguide-to-fibre extraction efficiency of 57%.

Does DNA have anything like IF-statements, GOTO-jumps, or WHILE loops?

In software development, these constructs have the following functions: IF-statements: An IF statement executes the code in a.
