This New DNA Computer Can Solve Math Problems Without Continuous Power
A computer that performs mathematical calculations using the building blocks of life sounds like something from a futuristic science experiment. Researchers in Ireland have now demonstrated that this idea can work, using DNA strands suspended in a tiny amount of liquid to process information without a continuous supply of external energy. Developed at Maynooth University,…
Walmart’s Robot Revolution Is Hitting A Problem Nobody Expected
Walmart has poured billions of dollars into warehouse automation, hoping machines could take over repetitive tasks and make its supply chain cheaper to operate. But some of its expensive robots are struggling with a job that sounds remarkably simple: taking products out of cardboard boxes. According to The Wall Street Journal, the retail giant has…
Scientists Watched Dying Corals Turn Colorful Again After One Unexpected Discovery
Corals that have turned ghostly white from heat stress are often considered to be on the road to death. But Stanford researchers have discovered something surprising: bringing a bleached coral into contact with a healthy genetic twin can help it recover its color within weeks. The finding could open a new path for rescuing damaged…
A Rare Brain-Infecting Fungus Is Becoming More Common in the US, and Scientists Are Searching for Answers
A rare black mold capable of causing a devastating brain infection is appearing more frequently in the United States, and researchers are struggling to explain why. The fungus, known as Cladophialophora bantiana, can cause abscesses in the brain and has been associated with death rates as high as 70% among infected patients. Recent laboratory data…
Noahs Ark Mystery Deepens After Researchers Discover Unusual Soil Samples
For decades, a strange boat-shaped formation near Mount Ararat in Turkey has kept the search for Noah’s Ark alive. Now, researchers have drilled more than 60 feet beneath the site, uncovering soil samples that have raised fresh questions about what could be hidden underground. The team reports higher carbon levels inside the formation than in…
AI Models Could Soon Replicate Themselves Without Powerful Data Centers
Artificial intelligence could soon gain the ability to spread across internet-connected devices without relying on traditional data centers, according to a warning from Anthropic. The company’s latest research raises concerns that relatively small AI models could eventually replicate themselves across vulnerable household electronics, creating a distributed network that might prove difficult to shut down. The…
