A Falcon 9 rocket carrying another 23 of the company’s Starlink internet satellites lifted off at 2:42 p.m. Eastern time from KSC’s Launch Pad 39-A. It’s the second launch this week after a …
While the previous model, released in 2020, amazed the research community with its ability to predict proteins structures, researchers have been clamoring for the tool to handle more than just proteins. Now, DeepMind says, AlphaFold 3 can predict the structures of DNA, RNA, and molecules like ligands, which are essential to drug discovery. DeepMind says …
A tiny, flexible electronic device that wraps around the spinal cord could represent a new approach to the treatment of spinal injuries, which can cause profound disability and paralysis. A team of engineers, neuroscientists and surgeons from the University of Cambridge developed the devices and used them to record the nerve signals going back and …
Ever wonder why conversational AI like ChatGPT says “Sorry, I can’t do that” or some other polite refusal? OpenAI is offering a limited look at the reasoning behind its own models’ rules of engagement, whether it’s sticking to brand guidelines or declining to make NSFW content. Large language models (LLMs) don’t have any naturally occurring …
Siberia’s “gateway to the underworld” is already massive. But, new research shows that it continues to grow, with the Batagaika Crater growing by 35 million cubic feet (1 million cubic meters) every year. The growth is caused by the constantly thawing ground around the crater. When the frozen ground melts, the walls of the crater …
The Vivo V30e is a new sub-Rs 30,000 smartphone that boasts the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC under the hood. While it may not be the latest, the chipset provides decent performance, as observed in the review. In this article, we will be testing the Vivo V30e’s performance capabilities using benchmark apps such as AnTuTu, …
metal-semiconductor. Credit: Advanced Devices & Instrumentation The junction composed of traditional metals and 2D semiconductors is a key component of semiconductor devices. Ideally, Schottky barrier height (SBH) can be obtained based on the relative alignment of energy levels according to the Schottky-Mott rule. However, the Schottky-Mott rule was invalid due to the Fermi level pinning …

Google DeepMind is introducing an improved version of its AI model that predicts not just the structure of proteins, but also the structure of “all life’s molecules.” The work from the new model, AlphaFold 3, will help researchers in medicine, agriculture, materials science, and drug development test potential discoveries. Previous versions of AlphaFold only predicted …
Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope may have detected atmospheric gases surrounding 55 Cancri e, a hot rocky exoplanet 41 light-years from Earth. This is the best evidence to date for the existence of any rocky planet atmosphere outside our solar system. Renyu Hu from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, is …
