Physical reservoir computing uses the natural dynamics of materials rather than programmed circuits to process information, mimicking how biological systems handle complex tasks efficiently. Thin films of self-doped polymer S-PEDOT demonstrate…
OpenAI is looking to hire a new executive responsible for studying emerging AI-related risks in areas ranging from computer security to mental health.
In a post on X, CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that AI models are “starting to present some…
If you’re overwhelmed by AI chatter, you’re not alone. Right now, it feels like AI shows up in every tool, app, headline, and workplace conversation – whether your boss is keen on integrating it into everything or firmly against it. And…
Deep inside some magnetic materials, electrons can behave in ways that seem to defy common sense. Instead of lining up neatly like tiny compass needles, as magnets usually do, their spins remain restless, fluctuating endlessly even near absolute…
The vast community of microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract–the gut microbiome, has many close links to human health and well-being. The gut microbiome can vary significantly from one person to…

A weird-looking parasitic plant has discarded all its photosynthesis machinery – and nevertheless has found a way to thrive.
A new analysis of seven Balanophora species has found that these crazy plants have reduced their plastid genomes, or…
A Carnegie-led team of astronomers detected the strongest evidence yet of an atmosphere around a rocky planet beyond our solar system. Their work, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, used NASA’s JWST to reveal an alien atmosphere in…
Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have found that large sharks can spend hours far below the ocean surface in the mesopelagic zone, a layer stretching from 200 to 1,000 meters (650 to 3,300 feet) deep. This dim region…
