A recent paper claims that the oceans are not warming and that climate science is flawed. The study was written by a clarinet teacher, a high school student and several climate skeptics. It uses data from the Argo program, a fleet of 4, 000 ocean floats that record temperature and salinity. The auth
OpenAI has announced that it will establish its largest research center outside the United States in London, citing Britain’s vibrant tech scene as a perfect setting for creating new artificial‑intelligence systems. The decision comes at a time when the UK is positioning itself as an “AI superpow
China is making big moves to catch up in the tech world, but there are some serious hurdles. The country's top AI experts say that while China is getting better at taking risks and innovating, the lack of advanced chipmaking tools is a major roadblock. This week, two Chinese AI startups, MiniMax an
Carina Hong, a 24-year-old Stanford graduate, has managed to attract some of the brightest AI researchers from major tech companies to her startup, Axiom Math. This company is on a mission to build an AI mathematician, aiming to solve complex math problems that have puzzled experts for years. In Sep
The U. S. government is diving headfirst into AI-driven science with a bold new project called the Genesis Mission. Launched by President Donald Trump, this initiative aims to revolutionize how federal agencies handle scientific research. The main idea? Combine massive government datasets with cutti
In the world of cutting-edge research, it's not just about having a fancy lab or a big team. The real game-changer is the power of GPUs. Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, the minds behind the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), have made it clear that their focus is on expanding their computing powe
ArXiv, a well-known site for sharing research before it gets checked by experts, is changing its rules. From now on, only computer science review articles and position papers that have been reviewed and accepted by a journal or conference will be allowed. This change comes after a surge of AI-genera
Big tech companies are spending a lot of money to build huge AI systems. They believe that making these systems bigger will make them smarter. But not everyone agrees with this idea. Some experts think that just making AI models bigger is not the best way to improve them. They believe that AI needs
Microplastics, those tiny bits of plastic, are everywhere. They float in the air and settle on the ground. But how do they get around? It turns out their shape and size play a big role. In a recent study, scientists looked at how these tiny plastic pieces move through the air and land in Shanghai.
A group of very smart people from OpenAI and Google Brain decided to start a new company called Periodic Labs. They want to use AI to discover new materials, like super conductors. They got a lot of money, $300 million, from investors to do this. The idea started when two friends, Liam Fedus and Ek
