Surgeons and doctors often rely on artificial models to practice delicate procedures. Yet most training tissues feel stiff, simple, and far from realistic.
That gap between training models and real organs has limited how well medical…
How can artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning models be used to identify new materials? This is what a recent study published in Nature hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated using…
Meteorologists are carefully watching a volatile tropical cyclone situation in the Atlantic Ocean in the coming days that will determine whether the Carolinas will face potentially serious flooding early next week.
The uncertain hurricane forecast…
People are increasingly turning to software to design complex material structures like airplane wings and medical implants. But as design models become more capable, our fabrication techniques haven’t kept up. Even 3D…

Human head transplants are also known as cephalosomatic anastomosis, and at the moment, are not actually possible and likely won’t be before 2030.
Some researchers have tested a human head transplant on…
Space can be a dangerous place, with massive rocks hurling through the solar system at fast speeds, some of which may be headed in our direction. NASA and other agencies keep a close watch on the skies, on the lookout for potentially…
Hugging Face (HF) has released Smol2Operator, a reproducible, end-to-end recipe that turns a small vision-language model (VLM) with no prior UI grounding into a GUI-operating, tool-using agent. The release covers data transformation…
In our latest episode of Lexicon, we sat down with Fernando Dominguez, Head of Strategic Partnerships at SandboxAQ, a company spun out of Alphabet that’s pioneering this AQ (AI + Quantum) space.
Together, we explored how LQMs are reshaping…
When you think about national park and public land astronomy programs, you might picture remote locations far from city lights. But a recent NASA Earth to Sky training, funded by NASA’s Science Activation Program, challenges that…
