A good read.
Everybody’s talking about the Google engineer who thinks a company chatbot is sentient. But what does sentience mean? property= description.
Until now, the ability to travel faster than the speed of light has only been seen in Sci-Fi movies. What if we can actually make that a reality!
If we ever hope to visit other parts of our galaxy, we’ll have to travel at speeds we’ve never imagined.
A possible solution to the problem of traveling at the speed of light or even faster is the “warp drive” popularized by Star Trek, the sci-fi franchise still ongoing.
Therefore, if we could find a way to bend or warp spacetime, we would be able to move around the cosmos in the blink of an eye. Although, warp drives have mostly remained the preserve of science fiction.
After years of scandals left NSO Group broke and on a U.S. blacklist, L3Harris Technologies expressed interest, and the White House expressed concern.
The Vulcan will replace the Atlas V — ending an unexpected geopolitical volleyball.
The Vulcan rocket will launch in late 2022 on a flight to the Moon. The Vulcan replaces the United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V and its problematic RD-180 engines.
A research team from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology has developed ‘nanomachines,’ which use mechanical molecular movements to penetrate and destroy cells. Selective cancer cell penetration is also possible by using a latch molecule released near cancer cells. Cancer is a condition where some of the body’s cells grow out of control and spread to other bodily regions. Cancer cells divide continually, leading them to invade surrounding tissue and form solid tumors. The majority of cancer treatments involve killing the cancer cells.
According to 2020 estimates, 1.8 million new instances of cancer were diagnosed in the US, and 600,000 people passed away from the condition. Breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer are the most common cancers. The average age of a cancer patient upon diagnosis is 66, and individuals between the ages of 65 and 74 account for 25% of all new cancer diagnoses.
Proteins are involved in every biological process and use the energy in the body to change their structure via mechanical movements. They are referred to as biological ‘nanomachines’ since even minor structural changes in proteins have a substantial impact on biological processes. To implement movement in the cellular environment, researchers have focused on the development of nanomachines that imitate proteins. However, cells use a variety of mechanisms to defend themselves against the effect of these nanomachines. This restricts any relevant mechanical movement of nanomachines that could be used for medical purposes.

Krafton, the company behind the PUBG franchise, has unveiled a virtual human named Ana, which it says will be a big part of its Web3 presence moving forward.
Death from Outer Space

Astronomers are buzzing after observing the fastest nova ever recorded. The unusual event drew scientists’ attention to an even more unusual star. As they study it, they may find answers to not only the nova’s many baffling traits, but to larger questions about the chemistry of our solar system, the death of stars and the evolution of the universe.
The research team, led by Arizona State University Regents Professor Sumner Starrfield, Professor Charles Woodward from University of Minnesota and Research Scientist Mark Wagner from The Ohio State University, co-authored a report published today in the Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society.
A nova is a sudden explosion of bright light from a two-star system. Every nova is created by a white dwarf—the very dense leftover core of a star—and a nearby companion star. Over time, the white dwarf draws matter from its companion, which falls onto the white dwarf. The white dwarf heats this material, causing an uncontrolled reaction that releases a burst of energy. The explosion shoots the matter away at high speeds, which we observe as visible light.
Alan Turing first proposed a test for machine intelligence in 1950, but now researchers at Google and their partners have created a suite of 204 tests to replace it, covering subjects such as mathematics, linguistics and chess.
It’s the largest, richest, most in-depth, most accurate map of the Milky Way that’s ever been constructed. This sparks joy.
