The team behind NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope released some of the first images from the much-anticipated observatory on Friday (Feb. 11), and while the photos aren’t exactly stunning, they mark a huge scientific milestone.
OpenAI cofounder Ilya Sutskever claims that ‘it may be that today’s large neural networks are slightly conscious,’ but didn’t explain exactly what this means or which network achieved this.
VCSEL stands for Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser.
VCSEL emits light in a cylindrical beam vertically from the surface of a fabricated wafer, and offers significant advantages when compared to the conventional edge-emitting lasers currently used in the majority of fiber optic communications devices.
Now let’s take a comparison between conventional edge emitting laser and VCSEL laser.

Do you have a longevity supplement stack? I do not at this time but this might help you. Interesting that Sinclair takes C60 but I heard that was not good for you. This video is annotated with many chapters.
In Part Four of our Instagram LIVE super series, @David Sinclair & I chat about molecules and supplements for longevity! Our hope is that you come away from this conversation with tangible tips and an understanding of how these types of supplements can maximize longevity.
In Dr. David Sinclair’s fourth Lifespan Podcast episode, he narrows in on drugs and supplements that have been reported to combat aspects of aging…sharing the latest experimental and clinical data for NAD boosters, resveratrol, fisetin, quercetin, rapamycin, spermidine, metformin, and berberine. Given the interest, a special focus is placed on the NAD precursors nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN).
…So how do these interventions influence aging at the molecular and physiological levels?
Plants absorb a vast amount of toxic mercury gas in the atmosphere and help reducing the pollutant worldwide by depositing the element into soils, said researchers.
The process is similar to the absorption of carbon dioxide emissions by plants, said the team from University of Massachusetts Lowell, in the US.
Hundreds of tonnes of mercury each year are emitted into the atmosphere as a gas by burning coal, mining and other industrial and natural processes.
(Inside Science) — On the fictional Star Wars planet Tatooine, moisture farmers erect tall white structures called vaporators to pull valuable water from the desert air. Now researchers on planet Earth have built a device to perform the same basic task. They estimate a suitcase-sized version could harvest enough drinking water per day for a family of four. The device is described in a paper published in the journal Science.
The team, made up of scientists from the University of California, Berkeley and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, expects the device to be most useful in arid regions and in areas where the traditional water supply is polluted. The system relies on the unique properties of a relatively new type of material called a metal organic framework, or MOF.
MOFs were originally created in the mid-1990s by stitching together metal clusters and organic, or carbon-containing, molecules to form a fine porous structure. The tiny pores help the materials absorb large amounts of liquids or gases.
With the pandemic’s turbocharged acceleration of remote work options, many employees have sought to capitalize on the lack of personal supervision by secretly working two (or more) full-time jobs at once. But while there’s more money to be made, the strategy brings with it significant tradeoffs, namely mental health.
