As British butterflies head north, scientists ask public to help track migration | Butterflies
Scientists are urging the public to help them track how British butterflies are migrating north as the climate warms. Looking at 50 years of data, researchers from the wildlife conservation group Butterfly Conservation, which holds an annual event, Large butterfly countWe found that many species commonly seen in gardens, such as comma, peacock and holly […]
Our Dystopian Overlords Just Created Something Scientists Say Is ‘Too Dangerous To Release’
Analysis released Wednesday by LiveScience detailed how a new Microsoft invention is apparently “too dangerous to release” to the public. Microsoft’s artificial intelligence innovation VALL-E 2 can allegedly recreate human voices so convincingly, from just a few seconds of audio, according to a paper published on the pre-print arXiv server, analyzed by LiveScience. The research […]
Artificial intelligence scientists developing tools to decode what your dog’s barks mean
Ann Arbor, Michigan Researchers at the University of Michigan are investigating how artificial intelligence techniques can be used to understand dog communication. Scientists are developing tools to distinguish whether a dog’s barking is playful or aggressive, and hope to glean more information from the dog’s barks, such as age, breed and sex. “By using a […]
CRAZY: Scientists invent ‘anti-gravity’ device that could
A scientist named Charles Buehler claims that he and a group of scientists and engineers have developed a device that defies the laws of physics in that it can move on its own without the need for propellant. Buehler, co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies and a NASA electrostatic expert, said his team has been researching […]
Scientists investigate mysterious giant scar stretching across Mars
Scientists are investigating a huge, mysterious scar spanning the length of Mars, but they don’t know how it formed there. The incredible formation, which stretches some 600 kilometers (373 miles) — longer than the Grand Canyon at 446 kilometers (227 miles) — was photographed by ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft. The scar, known as Aganippe Fossa, […]
New research finds Earth’s core slowed so significantly it reversed course, scientists not exactly sure of effects
At the center of the Earth is a solid metal sphere that rotates independently of the Earth’s rotation. Scientists have debated the speed and direction of the inner core’s rotation. However, new research suggests that the speed of the inner core appears to have changed in recent years. However, researchers are not exactly sure if […]
Robot controlled by human ‘brain on chip’ is a world first: scientists
This humanoid robot has a mind of its own. In a first breakthrough in biocomputing, researchers at Tianjin University in China have developed a robot controlled by human brain cells. The South China Morning Post reported ominously. This could lead to the “development of hybrid human-robot intelligence.” A new robot is powered by human brain […]
Scientists create robot face with lab-grown living skin
That’s the face of the future. A team of scientists has unveiled a robotic face covered in a delicate layer of living skin that can self-heal, wrinkle and smile, in a bid to develop more human-like cyborgs. The skin was made in a lab at the University of Tokyo from a mixture of human skin […]
scientists harvesting human embryos to power supercomputers
While the idea of harvesting something from humans to power technology might be perfect for a great dystopian novel or sci-fi TV show, wouldn’t you say that applying such a concept to real life is surely insane? Yes, it’s crazy, but… teeth Happening. “This is actually being implemented and is currently being used at the […]
Nature’s Proximal Origin [Covid] Paper Was a Work of ‘Fraud and Scientific Misconduct,’ Say Scientists Demanding a Retraction
Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes A trove of recently published documents reveals that authors of the Proximal Origin paper believed that the lab leak scenario was not just possible, but likely. A growing number of people, including prominent scientists, are calling for a full retraction of a high-profile study published in the journal Nature in March 2020 […]
