Astronomers have made significant breakthroughs in understanding the surface features of distant stars, including the red giant Betelgeuse. Using high-speed photography and modern data processing, scientists have been able to suppress the effects of star twinkling, revealing large-scale hot and cold regions that may be convection currents in the star’s atmosphere. Recent observations have confirmed…

Researchers at Zeta Surgical have developed an algorithm that optimizes the placement of single-element focused transducers in transcranial focused ultrasound treatments, minimizing defocusing and focus shift. This breakthrough has the potential to make brain treatments safer and more successful, particularly for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. The algorithm uses patient CT scans and simulations to…

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Poisonous Plant Research Lab have discovered that earwax from sheep can reveal if they have eaten poisonous plants, specifically death camas. This breakthrough could lead to the development of a simpler and more effective method for detecting toxic forage in livestock. The team’s findings suggest that earwax may…

Google has released an experimental reasoning AI model, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental, which is designed to tackle complex problems in fields such as programming, math, and physics. The model is still in its early stages and requires significant computing power to run, but it has shown promising results in handling challenging puzzles involving visual…

Researchers at Cornell University have developed magnetically controlled microbots that can operate at the visible-light diffraction limit, allowing them to interact with and shape light effectively. These tiny robots, measuring 5-2 microns in size, can perform up-close imaging and control diffracted light, opening up new possibilities for medical imaging, endoscopic procedures, and high-resolution microscopy. Forecast…

Lunex Network is rapidly gaining traction in the DeFi industry, with its presale tokens almost sold out and over $5 million raised in a few months.
