Researchers in China have developed a water-based battery, which is claimed to be much safer and energy-efficient than “highly flammable” non-aqueous lithium batteries.

Interestingly, the researchers say that these new batteries will be twice as energy-dense as traditional lithium-ion options. This holds the potential to revolutionize the electric vehicle industry.

Moreover, aqueous batteries use water as the solvent for electrolytes, enhancing their safety. Traditional non-aqueous lithium-ion batteries have a high energy density, but their safety is compromised due to the flammable organic electrolytes, a component that allows the battery to charge and discharge, they utilize.

Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center Company has developed the world’s first humanoid robot that can sprint at a steady speed of 3.73 mph.

RAG is being pitched as a solution of sorts to generative AI hallucinations. But there’s limits to what the technique can do.

Astronomers still don’t know what causes fast radio bursts, but they’re starting to use them to illuminate the space between galaxies.

An X-ray burst (XRB) is a violent explosion that occurs on the surface of a neutron star as it absorbs material from a companion star. During this absorption, increasing temperatures and densities on the surface of the neutron star ignite a cascade of thermonuclear reactions.

A new peptide-carrying magnetic nanoparticle described in Science Advances has resolved both biological and behavioral symptoms in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.

A short peptide disassembles stable pathogenic tau fibrils of Alzheimer’s disease.

Google Research and Google’s AI research lab, DeepMind, have detailed the impressive reach of Med-Gemini, a family of advanced AI models specialized in medicine. It’s a huge advancement in clinical diagnostics with massive real-world potential.

Alembic unveils groundbreaking AI system that eliminates hallucinations in enterprise data analysis, attracting Fortune 500 interest and analyst praise.

Summary: People often view AI-generated answers to ethical questions as superior to those from humans. In the study, participants rated responses from AI and humans without knowing the source, and overwhelmingly favored the AI’s responses in terms of virtuousness, intelligence, and trustworthiness.

This modified moral Turing test, inspired by ChatGPT and similar technologies, indicates that AI might convincingly pass a moral Turing test by exhibiting complex moral reasoning. The findings highlight the growing influence of AI in decision-making processes and the potential implications for societal trust in technology.
