We may be on the brink of finally seeing human-level intelligence in an AI — thanks to robots.
Neuroscientist Christof Koch on human minds, AI, and bacteria.
“We do not experience primarily because we have brains; we experience because we are alive.”
Watching for changes in the Red Planet’s orbit over time could be new way to detect passing dark matter.
On larger and larger scales, many of the same structures we see at small ones repeat themselves. Do we live in a fractal Universe?
The “little red dots” were touted as being too massive, too early, for cosmology to explain. With new knowledge, everything adds up.
The simulation hypothesis is fun to talk about, but believing it requires an act of faith.
In theory, dark matter is cold, collisionless, and only interacts via gravity. What we see in ultra-diffuse galaxies indicates otherwise.
HaptX gloves provide high-fidelity touch feedback of virtual spaces (and they look cool, too).
Frontier, the ORNL supercomputer, used machine learning to perform 9.95 quintillion calculations per second.
Your life’s memories could, in principle, be stored in the universe’s structure.
With so many early galaxies of unexpectedly large brightnesses, JWST surprised us all. Here’s how scientists made sense of what we see.
These high-mass, rapidly star-forming galaxies have called modern cosmology into question. But hi-res simulations show no tension at all.
How do normal matter and dark matter separate by so much when galaxy clusters collide? Astronomers find the surprising, unexpected answer.
The most massive early galaxies grew up faster, and have more stars, than astronomers expected, according to JWST. What does it all mean?
There was a time where no starlight was visible throughout the entire cosmos. That time was short-lived: shorter than astronomers imagined.
The science fiction dream of a traversable wormhole is no closer to reality, despite a quantum computer’s suggestive simulation.
A new method of mapping migration factors in erratic movements and changing climate.
Galaxies don’t simply feed their central supermassive black holes, but the activity generated inside affects the entire galaxy and more.
Whether it’s LeBron’s shooting patterns or your corporate AI strategy, actionable insights are the key to turning data into meaningful results.
Well-preserved ancient plants and other finds at the Clarkia fossil beds hint at what kind of evidence any Martian life may have left behind.
Our minds seem both physical and intangible. That paradox has gripped this neuroscientist since childhood.
Welcome to The Nightcrawler — a weekly newsletter from Eric Markowitz covering tech, innovation, and long-term thinking.
Due to chaos, it was long thought that planets couldn’t stably orbit systems containing three stars. GW Orionis is the first counterexample.
It is little more than a fancy excuse for escapist fantasizing.
Kurzweil predicts that AI will combine with biotechnology to defeat degenerative diseases this decade. Then things will get really interesting.
This research team is working out how to detect extraterrestrial cells in the liquid water ocean hidden beneath Enceladus’s icy crust.
Even with the best technology imaginable, you’d probably never be able to exist as a consciously aware brain in a vat.
