Can AI be Controlled? Expert Opinion

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

This post is also available in: he עברית (Hebrew)

Some experts claim that there is no current evidence that AI can be controlled safely. And if so, should it even be developed?

AI Safety expert Dr. Roman V. Yampolskiy explains in his book “AI: Unexplainable, Unpredictable, Uncontrollable” that the problem of AI control is one of the most important problems facing humanity, but even so it remains poorly understood, poorly defined, and poorly researched.

Beyond Classical Physics: Scientists Discover New State of Matter With Chiral Properties

Posted by in categories: materials, quantum physics

An international research group has identified a novel state of matter, characterized by the presence of a quantum phenomenon known as chiral current.

These currents are generated on an atomic scale by a cooperative movement of electrons, unlike conventional magnetic materials whose properties originate from the quantum characteristic of an electron known as spin and their ordering in the crystal.

Researchers Boost Flexible Electronics Sustainability With Water-Based Inks

Posted by in categories: solar power, sustainability

The team leveraged ground-state electron transfer to develop water-based conductive ink for use in flexible electronics.

A major trend in electronics has been the emergence of flexible electronics in devices such as solar cells and energy storage. The technology enabling these devices to be flexible and lightweight is organic electronics. However, concerns about the sustainability of producing organic electronics are growing.

Recently, researchers in Sweden tackled the sustainability challenges head-on by developing water-based conductive inks in organic electronics.

Automaker-backed Ionna charging network to challenge Supercharger dominance

Posted by in category: food

Tesla’s Supercharger network might be good enough to push other automakers to join the standard, but that hasn’t stopped several companies from banding together to build their own Tesla-rivaling charging network. Ionna is a joint venture between seven automakers that promises to bring tens of thousands of chargers to North America — along with food and restrooms.

BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis are working together on the project with the slogan “We charge North America.” The group announced that it had gained regulatory approval and was officially starting work last Friday.

Ionna aims to build a network of 30,000 fast chargers to facilitate long-distance driving across the continent. The company said it is targeting 2030 to build the network and promised charging locations in urban areas and along highways. The first chargers will open this year, and the focus will be on an “elevated customer experience” that includes 350kW fast chargers, food, retail stores, and other amenities within the charging complex. Electrify America, created using money from VW’s Dieselgate settlement, also recently announced a shift to a more upscale charging experience.

Scientists create the first “functional” 3D-printed mini brains

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

Scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UWM) say they have created the first 3D-printed brain organoids that function like natural brain tissue.

“The neurons communicate, send signals, interact with each other through neurotransmitters, and even form proper networks with support cells that were added to the printed tissue,” said senior author Su-Chun Zhang.

The challenge: In the right conditions, stem cells will self-assemble into tiny, three-dimensional tissues that mimic features of the human brain. These “brain organoids” can be used to test drugs, study diseases, and more.

Ancient Human Artifact Was Made With Extraterrestrial Material, Scientists Say

Posted by in categories: chemistry, materials

Talk about out-of-this-world bling!

Spanish researchers have discovered that two iron artifacts from a hoard of precious treasure that dates back to the Late Bronze Age — before man started the widespread smelting of iron — contain iron from meteorites estimated to be around 1 million years old.

Plasminogen Deficiency: A Case Report and Review

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics

Plasminogen deficiency, a rare disorder characterized by impaired fibrinolysis, frequently results in ligneous conjunctivitis. In this report, we report a case of a Saudi girl manifesting both conjunctivitis and hydrocephalus. Her initial symptoms at 1 month of age were recurring eye redness, which was inaccurately diagnosed as simple conjunctivitis. Surgical intervention for her ocular lesions revealed underlying membrane deposition. She later exhibited signs of increased intracranial pressure, resulting in a hydrocephalus diagnosis and subsequent surgery. Genetic analysis confirmed the presence of plasminogen deficiency. Clinical evaluations highlighted ligneous conjunctivitis, variations in visual acuity, and facial acne. Laboratory assessments demonstrated diminished plasminogen levels.
