AI is now capable of cloning itself, and experts warn it could spiral out of control. A shocking study by Fudan University has revealed that AI models, including Meta’s Llama3-70B-Instruct and Alibaba’s Qwen2-72B-Instruct, successfully replicated themselves in 50% to 90% of trials. This means AI is no longer just a tool—it’s becoming self-sufficient. Scientists fear […]
Scientists have made an exciting discovery—ancient tectonic plates have been found in places they shouldn’t be. Normally, these plates are thought to be hidden deep beneath the Earth’s surface in subduction zones, where one plate dives under another. But using a new, advanced model, researchers from ETH Zurich and the California Institute of Technology found […]
On July 17, Apex, bones of a cool stegosaurus dinosaur fossil, made waves in a sale for a staggering $44.6 million at Sotheby’s in New York City. The lucky buyer? Billionaire Ken Griffin, the CEO of Citadel. He plans to loan this incredible piece of history to American institutions for display, which sounds awesome. But […]
VIENNA: Scientists at the Vienna University of Technology made a breakthrough by creating the world’s first nuclear clock prototype, according to ScienceAlert, an independently run online publication and news source that publishes articles featuring scientific research, discoveries, and outcomes. A huge breakthrough decades in the making was made just a few months ago, and already […]
New York: Researchers at Cornell University have discovered that goldenrod plants can detect neighboring plants without physical contact, using reflected far-red light ratios. This finding, detailed in a recent paper, suggests a form of plant intelligence. When goldenrod is consumed by herbivores, its response varies depending on nearby plants. This adaptive behavior raises the question: […]
Scientists in the United Kingdom have revealed the discovery of a new planet, “Gliese 12b”, that could possibly support human life. The study found that the planet is “the nearest, transiting temperate, Earth-sized planet found to date.” Estimates indicate that the temperature on Gliese 12b is around 42 degrees Celsius, according to Larisa Ballithorp, researcher […]
Researchers worldwide are exploring the potential of islet transplants as an alternative treatment for diabetes, utilizing islet-like cells derived from human stem cell cultures. A Chinese research team, led by Yin Hao at Shanghai Changzheng Hospital, has achieved notable progress in this field after a decade-long effort. In July 2021, a patient underwent a cell […]
Dubai: Mohammad Al Gergawi, Chairman of the Museum of the Future, announced that the museum has achieved a significant milestone by receiving more than one million visitors from 163 countries in its first year of operation since its official opening. This marks a remarkable achievement in Dubai and the UAE’s commitment to imagining, inspiring and […]
A scientist has put their hard-earned PhD to good use and officially discovered what the world’s funniest joke is. The finding of the world’s funniest joke is actually based on a study conducted 20 years ago. Psychologist Dr. Richard Wiseman set up the study through the website LaughLab in 2001, where, over the course of a year, he invited 1.5 million people across the world to rate five randomly selected jokes […]
Researchers have developed a new method to overturn ageing in human skin cells by up to 30 years. They say it is the longest re-programming technique ever achieved. As per a new study published in eLife, a group of scientists stated how they were able to partially restore the function of older cells, while also […]
In the 1970s, researchers used computer modelling to predict when the fall of society would kick off and according to their findings, you may want to reconsider your long term plans. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientists looked at several data patterns from a variety of different factors, such as population, natural resources and […]
