These new wind turbine replacements could soon become Instagram celebrities, just like those Dyson fans.
Glasgow’s Katrick Technologies introduces Wind Panel, their bladeless gadget designed to replace wind turbines with efficiency and innovation.
Dark matter is one of the most mysterious things in the universe. But right up there in the same category are black holes — massive cosmic holes that seem to suck everything into them. Now, a new research paper posits that black holes and dark matter may go hand in hand thanks to parasitic black holes living inside of stars.
I know that’s a lot to take in, and I thought the same thing when I was reading through a new paper featured in The Astrophysical Journal . The new paper suggests that black holes might be living inside stars throughout the universe, eating away at them from the inside.
It’s a terrifying thesis and one that becomes even more terrifying when you think about the possibility of a black hole being inside our sun, eating away at it until the sun eventually dies. But just how much merit is there to this claim? Could parasitic black holes really be the cause of dark matter in the universe?
Why do we all age differently?

Some 80-year-olds seem like they’re 60, while some 60-year-olds seem closer to 80. Johns Hopkins researchers are part of a new program to understand and predict the differences in how we all age.
This Review examines the development of neuromorphic hardware systems based on halide perovskites, considering how devices based on these materials can serve as synapses and neurons, and can be used in neuromorphic computing networks.
While it’s unclear how many humans will end up being affected, it’s a clear sign of the times. Earlier this year, Google ushered in a “new era of AI-powered ads.” As part of the initiative, Google is trying to leverage AI tech to “deliver new ad experiences,” including “automatically created assets” that scrape content from existing ads and landing pages.
Some of these ads created by the company’s Performance Max feature can even change in real-time based on click-through rates to maximize visibility, a task that’s labor-intensive for human workers.
According to the Information, a “growing number of advertisers have adopted PMax since,” which has eliminated the “need for some employees who specialized in selling ads for a particular Google service.”
The “highly motivated” 18-year-old hacker who leaked GTA VI footage will stay in a secure hospital unless he is deemed no longer a threat.
A new proof shows what happens tographs before and after a sudden shift called the percolation threshold.
Just as ice melts to water, graphs undergo phase transitions. Two mathematicians showed that they can pinpoint such transitions by examining only local structure.
The UK’s supreme court has ruled that AI cannot be named as an inventor and secure patent rights. It follows earlier decisions from lower courts that reached the same conclusions.
On Wednesday, US computer scientist Stephen Thaler lost his attempt to register patents for inventions he says were created by his AI system, DABUS.
Thaler said DABUS autonomously created a light beacon and a container for food and drink, and entitled to rights over the inventions.
If you ever find yourself aboard a spaceship exploring the profound mysteries of the universe and you have the sudden urge to poop — former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino has some insights for you.
“It requires a lot of training,” Massimino told “The Daily Show” guest host Kal Penn during a recent segment. “You get rendezvous training and robotics training in space, and there would be potty training.”
Because toilets on board NASA spacecraft are unlike Earth-bound commodes, he explained, you will need practice. These space thrones don’t use water but instead use negative air presure to suck away waste like a vacuum.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, sees the loss of jobs as a natural part of “technological revolution” every 100 to 150 years.
