Ray Kurzweil predicted the Technological Singularity will be reached in 2045. This actually means there will be strong AI, something like AGI that is 1 billion times more capable than the human brain in many aspects.

An experiment buried underground in Italy has turned up a mysterious result, and a never-before-seen “axion” particle seems like the most likely explanation.
An excess of events spotted in the XENON1T experiment could be signs of solar axions or weird, new properties of neutrinos, but not dark matter itself.

A conversation with space artist Don Davis about his life and work.
In the vast majority of superconducting materials, Cooper pairs have what is known as even parity, which essentially means that their wave function does not change when electrons swap spatial coordinates. Conversely, some unconventional superconductors have been found to contain odd-parity Cooper pairs. This quality makes these unconventional materials particularly promising for quantum computing applications.
Past studies have predicted that noncentrosymmetric superconductors, which have a crystal structure with no center of inversion, could exhibit unique and unusual properties. In recent years, noncentrosymmetric superconductors have become a popular topic of research due to the structure of the Cooper pairs contained within them, which have a mixture of odd and even parity.
CaPtAs is a new noncentrosymmetric superconductor discovered by researchers at Zhejiang University. Together with scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institut and other institutes worldwide, these researchers have recently carried out a study investigating unconventional superconductivity in this compound. Their paper, published in Physical Review Letters, offers evidence that in its superconducting state, CaPtAs simultaneously exhibits both nodal superconductivity and broken time-reversal symmetry (TRS).
In a paper, researchers at DeepMind propose a system that can efficiently navigate virtual city environments it hasn’t seen before.
The Madison, Wisconsin-based startup Phoenix has scouted a team of nuclear elites for a new frontier: small reactors that can revolutionize medical imaging, munitions scanning, and even non-destructive testing for quality assurance.
And in the longer term, scientists say training people to run neutron generators helps to familiarize and speed up the future of nuclear fusion.
