New research from Australian scientists shows strong evidence even mid-life stable stars like our sun have engulfed entire planets.
A clinical trial of a new method to activate and kill HIV in the body shows small success, but it’s not yet a cure.
Much-hated Reddit founder and CEO Steve Huffman gifted himself a stunning $193 million compensation package — while unpaid moderators on the platform have yet to see a single dollar, as Variety reports.
It’s an especially pertinent topic given that the company went public at a share price of $34 today, for a valuation of $6.4 billion.
During a recent Q&A video posted to the subreddit named after the company’s brand new New York stock exchange ticker RDDT, Huffman argued that he was totally justified in paying himself more than the CEOs of Meta, Pinterest and Snap combined.
Despite the astonishing successes of quantum mechanics, due to some fundamental problems such as the measurement problem and quantum arrival time problem, the predictions of the theory are in some cases not quite clear and unique.
The measurement and quantum arrival time problems have originated various predictions for the join spatiotemporal distribution of particle detection events, derived from different formulations and interpretations of the quantum theory. By reworking the famous double-slit experiment, the authors propose a realizable setup to probe such predictions.
Why Knees Hurt

Your knees have lots of parts, and you use them a lot, so there’s plenty that could go wrong. WebMD explains common things that can cause knee pain.
The UN General Assembly on Thursday adopted a landmark resolution on the promotion of “safe, secure and trustworthy” artificial intelligence (AI) systems that will also benefit sustainable development for all.
Leading computer scientists from around the world have shared their vision for the future of artificial intelligence—and it resembles the capabilities of Star Trek character “The Borg.”
Weak fluctuations in superconductivity, a precursor phenomenon to superconductivity, have been successfully detected by a research group at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech). This breakthrough was achieved by measuring the thermoelectric effect in superconductors over a wide range of magnetic fields and over a wide range of temperatures, from much higher than the superconducting transition temperature to very low temperatures near absolute zero. The results of this study were published online in Nature Communications on March 16, 2024.
This revealed the full picture of fluctuations in superconductivity with respect to temperature and magnetic field, and demonstrated that the origin of the anomalous metallic state in magnetic fields—which has been an unsolved problem in the field of two-dimensional superconductivity for 30 years—is the existence of a quantum critical point, where quantum fluctuations are at their strongest.
