An extensive report on the future of AI research indicated that there’s skepticism about current approaches to AGI.
Cases of the fungal infection Candida auris are rising rapidly and coming from more sources too, a new US study reveals.
C. auris was first reported in the US in 2016 and is considered an “urgent antimicrobial resistance threat” in hospitals, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Focusing on a large health system in Miami, Florida, the new research found that reported clinical cases had risen from 5 in 2019 to 115 in 2023 – a considerable jump of 2,200 percent in four years.

To compete in an increasingly complex market, companies will need to unleash distinctive capabilities, reduce low-value work, speed up decision-making, and harness AI and digital.
Biological systems, once thought too chaotic for quantum effects, may be quietly leveraging quantum mechanics to process information faster than anything man-made.
New research suggests this isn’t just happening in brains, but across all life, including bacteria and plants.
Schrödinger’s legacy inspires a quantum leap.
Researchers have discovered an unexpected superconducting transition in extremely thin films of niobium diselenide (NbSe2). Publishing in Nature Communications, they found that when these films become thinner than six atomic layers, superconductivity no longer spreads evenly throughout the material, but instead becomes confined to its surface.
This discovery challenges previous assumptions and could have important implications for understanding superconductivity and developing advanced quantum technologies.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have made a surprising discovery about how superconductivity behaves in extremely thin materials. Superconductors are materials that allow electric current to flow without resistance, which makes them incredibly valuable for technology. Usually, the properties of superconductors change predictably when the materials become thinner; however, this study found something unexpected.
Randomness is essential to some research, but it’s always been prohibitively complicated to achieve. Now, we can use “pseudorandomness” instead.
A quantum algorithm for solving mathematical problems related to knots could give us the first example of a quantum computer tackling a genuinely useful problem that would otherwise be impossible for a classical computer
