Distorted Galaxy Forming Cosmic Question Mark

Posted by in category: space

It’s 7 billion years ago, and the universe’s heyday of star formation is beginning to slow. What might our Milky Way galaxy have looked like at that time? Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found clues in the form of a cosmic question mark, the result of a rare alignment across light-years of space.

“We know of only three or four occurrences of similar gravitational lens configurations in the observable universe, which makes this find exciting, as it demonstrates the power of Webb and suggests maybe now we will find more of these,” said astronomer Guillaume Desprez of Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a member of the team presenting the Webb results.

While this region has been observed previously with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the dusty red galaxy that forms the intriguing question-mark shape only came into view with Webb. This is a result of the wavelengths of light that Hubble detects getting trapped in cosmic dust, while longer wavelengths of infrared light are able to pass through and be detected by Webb’s instruments.

Her initial workup revealed enlarged mediastinal nodes, bilateral ground glass interstitial opacities with areas of septal thickening, an incidental 4-cm left lower lobe nodular mass, multiple hypermetabolic lesions in the liver (the largest was 2.8 cm with a standard uptake value of 43), and osseous metastatic disease.

Ultrasound-guided biopsy showed poorly differentiated metastatic lung adenocarcinoma (stage 4) with 5% tumor cells expressing PD-L1 and negative for EGFR/ALK gene alterations.

AI start-ups generate money faster than past hyped tech companies

Posted by in categories: business, economics, robotics/AI

Artificial intelligence start-ups are making revenues more quickly than previous waves of software companies, according to new data that suggests that the transformative technology is also generating strong businesses at an unprecedented rate.

According to an analysis of payments information from fintech group Stripe, top AI groups are reaching millions of dollars in sales within a year — far faster in a start-up’s life cycle than comparable non-AI tech groups.

The findings come as investors raise questions about the economic benefits of generative AI and likely returns on Big Tech’s projected trillion-dollar investment in computing infrastructure to support the technology over the coming year.
