Scientists have uncovered a stepwise system that guides how the brain sorts and stabilizes lasting memories. By tracking brain activity during virtual reality learning tasks, researchers identified molecules that influence how long memories persist. Each molecule operates on a different timescale, forming a coordinated pattern of memory maintenance. The discoveries reshape how scientists understand memory
Scientists have utilized CRISPR technology to enhance a fungus known for its meat-like qualities. The modified strain grows protein more rapidly and with less sugar, while significantly reducing emissions. Additionally, it demonstrates better land use and water impact compared to chicken farming.

Brian Alpert: A Journey to the Stars Brian Alpert’s trajectory in the aerospace industry is a testament to the power of passion and opportunity. From a young age, Alpert was drawn to the mysteries of space and the intricacies of flight. However, it was during his sophomore year in college that his path took a
Chiral skyrmion flows enable new approach to nanoscale logic devices Researchers have discovered that chiral skyrmions, unique particle-like spin textures in magnetic materials, can be manipulated by electrons. First identified in 2009, these skyrmions can be created and controlled at room temperature, offering potential advancements in nanoscale logic devices. Vir: Phys.org – latest science and
Brian Alpert’s path was always destined for the aerospace industry, but his journey turned toward NASA’s Johnson Space Center during his sophomore year in college. That was when Tricia Mack, who works in NASA’s Transportation Integration Office within the International Space Station Program, spoke to his aerospace seminar about planning spacewalks, training crews, and supporting
Elon Musk's frontier generative AI startup xAI formally opened developer access to its Grok 4.1 Fast models last night and introduced a new Agent Tools API—but the technical milestones were immediately subverted by a wave of public ridicule about Grok's responses on the social network X over the last few days praising its creator Musk

In Myanmar, uncontrolled rare earth mining has surged in regions controlled by ethnic armies, particularly as China reduces its domestic extraction. Recent reports from Wa territory indicate that this mining is harming water supplies, forests, and the health of local workers and communities. Source: Yale E360
When I first wrote “Vector databases: Shiny object syndrome and the case of a missing unicorn” in March 2024, the industry was awash in hype. Vector databases were positioned as the next big thing — a must-have infrastructure layer for the gen AI era. Billions of venture dollars flowed, developers rushed to integrate embeddings into

As software systems grow more complex and AI tools generate code faster than ever, a fundamental problem is getting worse: Engineers are drowning in debugging work, spending up to half their time hunting down the causes of software failures instead of building new products. The challenge has become so acute that it's creating a new
Astronomers have confirmed the detection of an explosive burst from a nearby star using the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton space observatory and the LOFAR telescope. This powerful burst ejects material into space, capable of stripping the atmosphere from any planet in its trajectory. Source: ESA Top News
The International Energy Agency, the world’s chief forecaster of future energy use, continues to project that global demand for fossil fuels will peak before the end of this decade, if countries push forward on their climate goals. However, it foresees greater overall use of fossil fuels than it did last year, as the world sees
