Quantum researchers cause controlled ‘wobble’ in the nucleus of a single atom

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

Researchers from Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands have been able to initiate a controlled movement in the very heart of an atom. They caused the atomic nucleus to interact with one of the electrons in the outermost shells of the atom. This electron could be manipulated and read out through the needle of a scanning tunneling microscope.

Declassified Nuclear Tests — Enhanced with AI — Slow Motion

Posted by in categories: media & arts, military, nuclear weapons, robotics/AI

The following declassified nuclear test footage has been enhanced using AI with techniques such as slow motion, frame interpolation, upscaling, and colorization. This helps improve the clarity and visual quality of the original recordings, which were often degraded or limited by the technology of the time. Experiencing these shots with enhanced detail brings the devastating power of atomic weapons into focus and offers a clearer perspective on their catastrophic potential and impact.

OpenAI Launching “Strawberry” Model With “Human-Like Reasoning” as Soon as This Week

Posted by in categories: innovation, robotics/AI

ChatGPT maker OpenAI is rumored to be imminently releasing a brand-new AI model, internally dubbed “Strawberry,” that has a “human-like” ability to reason.

As Bloomberg reports, a person familiar with the project says it could be released as soon as this week.

We’ve seen rumors surrounding an OpenAI model capable of reasoning swirl for many months now. In November, Reuters and The Information reported that the company was working on a shadowy project called Q — pronounced Q-Star — which was alleged to represent a breakthrough in OpenAI’s efforts to realize artificial general intelligence, the theoretical point at which an AI could outperform a human.

Oracle Unveils World’s First Zettascale AI Supercomputer with 131K NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI, supercomputing

Elon Musk is not smiling: Oracle and Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI recently ended talks on a potential $10 billion cloud computing deal, with xAI opting to build its own data center in Memphis, Tennessee.

At the time, Musk emphasised the need for speed and control over its own infrastructure. “Our fundamental competitiveness depends on being faster than any other AI company. This is the only way to catch up,” he added.

XAI is constructing its own AI data center with 100,000 NVIDIA chips. It claimed that it will be the world’s most powerful AI training cluster, marking a significant shift in strategy from cloud reliance to full infrastructure ownership.
