Language models can speed up and automate many tasks in areas such as text or code. What happens when they run themselves?
This new trend in generative AI is also called “self-prompting” or “auto-prompting”. The language model develops and executes prompts that can lead to new prompts based on an initial input.
New research from a team of scientists at the Cornell University Center for Bright Beams has made significant strides in developing new techniques to guide the growth of materials used in next-generation particle accelerators.
The study, published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry C, reveals the potential for greater control over the growth of superconducting Nb3Sn films, which could significantly reduce the cost and size of cryogenic infrastructure required for superconducting technology.
Superconducting accelerator facilities, such as those used for X-ray free-electron laser radiation, rely on niobium superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities to generate high-energy beams. However, the associated cryogenic infrastructure, energy consumption, and operating costs of niobium SRF cavities limit access to this technology.
Scientists have discovered that days on Earth are getting longer as the moon is slowly drifting away. It has always been assumed that the Earth’s only natural satellite remained at a constant distance from the Earth due to gravitational pull. However, according to NASA, Scientists no longer believe this is the case.
Witness the reinvention of the humble EVA suit.
The humble EVA suit needed to fit the mission profiles — and the regular launches of the Space Shuttle meant it had to fit all stripe of folks.
So if you’re going to make a xenobot, where do you start? Well, the Vermont team starts in a virtual Petri dish, on a computer, where an artificial intelligence (AI) program ‘evolves’ bunches of frog cells, based on their shape, to perform whatever task it is the scientists are interested in.
“It creates a population of virtual xenobots, deletes the ones that do a poor job and makes randomly modified copies of the survivors,” explains Bongard.
The scientists tell the AI how many rounds of this artificial selection process to complete and in just a few seconds, they have their design.
All journalists who cover violence enjoy macabre humor. If not, they will go insane.
Mark Pedelty noted in his lauded anthropological study War Stories: The Culture of Foreign Correspondents that we can be a human being or a journalist, but not both.
The game card above reenforces Pedelty’s observation that “reporters were forced to normalize the abnormal and routinize the absurd.”
Simulating a wormhole has long been a goal in quantum physics. But current quantum computers don’t have enough qubits to teleport particles.
ChatGPT can do more than just write sonnets and code. Its new abilities should be making competitors nervous.

The human brain is one of, if not the most important factor that distinguishes our species from all others. Three experts explore the use of stem cells in understanding the primate brain, genes that guided the evolution of the human brain, and the features that enabled the expansion of human neural characteristics.

The latest bit of brilliance from the field of robotics is a tiny micro-motor that can identify, trap, and transport individual cells. It’s a serious feat of engineering that could find uses from medicine to air purification.
Importantly, both electric and magnetic fields can control the machine – and the latter will be vital if the microscopic robot is eventually going to be deployed in the human body, which is what its inventors intend.
