In a survey of AI researchers, most say current AI models are unlikely to lead to artificial general intelligence with human-level capabilities, even as companies invest billions of dollars in this goal In a survey of AI researchers, most say current AI models are unlikely to lead to artificial general intelligence with human-level capabilities, even as…
It can be difficult to recall exactly when a specific event happened, and now it seems our memory can be tricked into pushing occurrences back in time, making us think they happened earlier than in reality It can be difficult to recall exactly when a specific event happened, and now it seems our memory can be…
New Scientist’s revelation that a UK minister is asking ChatGPT for advice raises the question of what role these new AI tools should play in government – and whether we should really think of them as intelligent New Scientist’s revelation that a UK minister is asking ChatGPT for advice raises the question of what role these…
A research team, led by Professor Seungho Cho in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UNIST has unveiled a novel catalyst for the effective and simultaneous removal of nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), precursors to fine dust formation.

An international team of scientists from Australia and China has unveiled the first chromosome-scale genome of a wild barley species. Their findings offer the potential for more sustainable agriculture and significant yield improvements for Australian grain production.

In a new publication in Nature Materials, an international team of researchers has developed groundbreaking artificial chains of the iconic “olympicene” molecules to realize the antiferromagnetic (AF) spin-½ Heisenberg model, a flagship quantum spin model that has been the cornerstone of quantum magnetism, since the seminal work of Bethe, for almost a century now. This…
College students, rocket scientists and math enthusiasts around the world are celebrating Pi Day. The holiday on March 14 — or 3/14 — correlates to the first three digits of the infinite number. It’s also Albert Einstein’s birthday, making the pie eaten at Pi Day gatherings all the sweeter. Pi is a mathematical constant that…
Biomolecular condensates are shifting blobs in our cells that organize cellular matter. They are distinct molecular communities made of DNA, RNA and proteins that “condense” molecules to key locations, yet they frequently defy description. Partly this is because they are so small, they cannot be measured using traditional microscopes. Biomolecular condensates are shifting blobs in our…
