Rotational Motion in Bispidines: A Conformational StudyClick to copy article linkArticle link copied!

A detailed conformational analysis of N-substituted bispidines has been performed to determine the factors governing the restricted rotational motion induced by the substituents. This investigation combines computational studies of the transition state involved in the rotation with experimental characterization of the rotamers arising from the restricted rotation.

Max Tegmark: Can We Prevent AI Superintelligence From Controlling Us?

This is the full version of Jan Jekielek’s interview with Max Tegmark. The interview was originally released on Epoch TV on June 3, 2025.

Few people understand artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as MIT physics professor Max Tegmark. Founder of the Future of Life Institute, he is the author of “Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.”

“The painful truth that’s really beginning to sink in is that we’re much closer to figuring out how to build this stuff than we are figuring out how to control it,” he says.

Where is the U.S.–China AI race headed? How close are we to science fiction-type scenarios where an uncontrollable superintelligent AI can wreak major havoc on humanity? Are concerns overblown? How do we prevent such scenarios?

Timelapse of Future Humanoid Robots (2029 — 2200+)

This is the future of AI and robots. Take a journey into the future and explore the possibilities and predictions of AI humanoid robots. This timelapse of the future explores robots that move faster than humans can see, humanoids and teslabots with human skin faces (biobots), and the building of an artificial super intelligence that walks among humans.

Game parks allow humans in their homes to control humanoids in hybrid digital real world games.

Humanoids are able to self-transfer their entire minds into digital backup worlds and into other physical machines.

Hives of humanoids link their computational power into a single super-intelligence while maintaining individual bodies. They are building a super intelligence. More intelligent than the collective. An intelligence that lives in the digital world
 and the real.

Gold-enhanced TiO₂ catalyst enables efficient and selective flow synthesis of propane from methane

Methane (CH₄), the colorless and odorless gas that makes up most natural gas on Earth, has so far been converted into useful fuels and chemicals via energy-intensive processes that need to be carried out at high temperatures. Some energy researchers, however, have been exploring the possibility of transforming this gas into useful hydrocarbons and chemicals via photocatalysis.

Photocatalysis is a process through which the energy contained in light, typically solar energy, activates a material known as a “catalyst,” driving desired chemical reactions. Converting CH₄ into specific fuels or chemicals via photocatalysis instead of conventional methods that rely on the burning of fossil fuels could be highly advantageous, as it could contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Researchers at Hebei University and other institutes in China recently introduced a new photocatalysis-driven approach to convert CH₄ into propane (C₃H₈), a hydrocarbon that is easier to use in real-world settings, as it becomes liquid at specific pressures, which facilitates its storage and transport.

Astronomers capture breathtaking first look at a planet being born

WISPIT2b, a gas giant forming around a young Sun-like star, has been directly imaged for the first time inside a spectacular multiringed disk. Still glowing and actively accreting gas, the planet offers a unique opportunity to study planetary birth and evolution.

An international team of astronomers, co-led by researchers at University of Galway, has made the unexpected discovery of a new planet.

Detected at an early stage of formation around a young analog of our own Sun, the planet is estimated to be about 5 million years-old and most likely a gas giant of similar size to Jupiter.

Could We Accidentally Destroy the Universe?

What if the end of everything came not from cosmic fate, but from us? This episode examines the physics, probability, and peril of experiments that could, in theory, unravel the universe.
