The UK is at risk of being left behind in the global electric vehicle (EV) revolution, according to experts from Aston University’s Centre for Business Prosperity. In their report, titled “Powering the Future: Aligning Economic Policy for Automotive Sector Resilience in the face of Critical Material Challenges,” Professor Jun Du and Dr. Oleksandr Shepotylo highlight
Instagram has recently launched a new test of Notes prompts, aiming to provide users with a new way to spark group chats by posing common conversation starters. With this update, users can ask questions, and other users will be able to see everyone else’s responses in-stream, potentially making it easier to initiate group engagement within
Emerging research conducted at the Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) suggests that the utilization of liquid lithium on the internal walls of plasma confinement devices could facilitate the fusion process and make it more practical and cost-effective. These findings were presented by Dennis Boyle, a staff research physicist at PPPL, and recently
The field of open source language models is rapidly evolving, challenging market-leading models like GPT-4. While the best open source models have largely come from outside the US, a US-based company called 01.AI is positioning itself to benefit from emerging innovations in the field. This article delves into the implications of open source AI models
Organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) have emerged as a highly sought-after class of materials with immense potential for non-conventional applications. These materials possess the unique ability to conduct both ions and electrons, making them suitable for applications in bioelectronics, neuromorphic computing, and bio-fuel cells. However, despite their promising properties, there is a pressing need to
Recently, accusations were made against Palworld that it had copied Pokémon’s designs for its catchable monsters. And now, in a bold move, a modder has taken things a step further by fully embracing the similarities between the two games. YouTube user ToastedShoes has created an overhaul mod that replaces Palworld’s “Pals” with their unmistakable Pokémon
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of California, Irvine have made a significant breakthrough in the field of topological phases of matter. By using a novel strain engineering approach, they were able to convert the material hafnium pentatelluride (HfTe5) into a strong
Apple’s highly anticipated Vision Pro quickly sold out after preorders opened on Friday, causing shipping times to increase to five to seven weeks within a matter of hours. However, according to top Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF International Securities, these extended shipping times remained unchanged 48 hours after preorders opened. This could indicate a
Copying, pasting, and transferring content between apps are essential actions that we frequently perform on our devices. The ability to seamlessly move information, such as text and images, enhances productivity and convenience. While many of us are familiar with these actions on laptops or desktop computers, the process on Android devices may seem a bit
In the not-so-distant past, the University of Cambridge Social Decision-Making Laboratory embarked on a unique and thought-provoking research project. They set out to investigate the potential for neural networks to generate misinformation, ultimately leading to the creation of ChatGPT’s predecessor, GPT-2. By training this model on a plethora of popular conspiracy theories, the researchers were
