Scientists have presented the results of a remarkable preclinical study that employs an epigenetic approach instead of traditional gene editing. In this method, DNA sequences are not cut and replaced — instead, scientists merely adjust the activity of specific genes. This treatment has already led to the normalization of cholesterol levels in mice. Epigenetic editing…
Australian company Hysata promises the cheapest hydrogen in the world thanks to a unique setup that splits water into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) with an incredible efficiency of 95%. This is 20% higher than the best existing electrolyzers. Only 41.5 kWh of energy is required to produce 1 kg of hydrogen, compared to 52.5…
OpenAI plans to release a tool called Media Manager in 2025, which will allow authors and content owners to control how their works are used in training AI generative models. This move is a response to criticism OpenAI has faced for collecting publicly available internet data to train its models. In particular, several major American…
California has been living on renewable energy for over a month, even selling excess energy to other states. According to Professor Mark Jacobson from Stanford University, since April 15, 2024, the state has been daily producing more electricity from renewable sources than it needs. In a social media post on May 21, Jacobson reported that…
At the Mobile Electronics Exhibition in Hong Kong, Umidigi announced the launch of three A series smartphones and other new devices. Both the Umidigi A16 Pro and A16 Pro 5G feature a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 50MP main camera (IMX 766), and a 5MP infrared night vision lens. The…
Samsung has unveiled its first mobile processor designed using an advanced 3nm process with Gate-All-Around Field-Effect Transistors (GAAFET), with nearly all design and optimization done using artificial intelligence-based electronic design automation (EDA) tools from Synopsys. The new System-on-Chip (SoC) was created using the Synopsys.ai software package, which includes three key tools. The first, DSO.ai, handles…
At the Computex 2024 expo, Asus showcased the ZenScreen Smart MS27UC, its first model featuring Google TV and a remote control with an integrated Google Assistant microphone. This 27-inch 4K IPS panel boasts ultra-thin bezels. It comes with built-in 5W Harman Kardon speakers and a headphone jack on the rear panel. One standout feature of…
Chinese scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system for aerial combat that explains its decision-making logic during battles. This system aims to address the “black box” problem faced by both the US and China in the AI arms race. The new solution will allow pilots to better understand the AI’s actions, enhancing cooperation during combat…
We’ve compiled a regular selection of games for you, this time focusing on the releases of March. The list includes several major and widely discussed projects, as well as a couple of less noticeable ones. There’s also room for “dark horses” that could either turn out to be March’s gems or pass unnoticed by the…
Tesla has filed a patent for an automated disinfection system designed for its future autonomous electric robotaxis. This system aims to utilize various sensors to monitor the conditions inside the vehicle and disinfect the cabin using ultraviolet radiation, heating systems, or robots stationed on special platforms. However, before implementing this idea, Tesla must first solve…
