Google shared a safety paper on its flagship artificial‑intelligence model, Gemini 2.5 Pro. Experts say it leaves key risks unexplained. The company posted the technical paper on Thursday, several weeks after it released Gemini 2.5 Pro to customers. The document lists the internal tests Google ran on the model but offers few facts on how […]
Stanford University’s AI research lab will leverage Theta EdgeCloud’s decentralized GPU infrastructure to advance their work in discrete optimization and algorithmic reasoning. The lab, led by Assistant Professor Ellen Vitercik from Stanford Engineering, will utilize the platform’s scalable, high-performance computing resources to accelerate AI model training and research at reasonable costs, according to an announcement…
IOG announced a significant upgrade to Cardano’s consensus protocol in a blog post published on April 11, 2025. The new protocol, called Ouroboros Peras, will replace the current Ouroboros Praos system and dramatically accelerate transaction settlement times on the Cardano blockchain. This improvement will reduce transaction finality from the current timeframe to approximately two minutes.
In a potential landmark discovery, scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have obtained what they call the strongest signs yet of possible life beyond our solar system, detecting in an alien planet’s atmosphere the chemical fingerprints of gases that on Earth are produced only by biological processes. The two gases – dimethyl sulfide, or DMS, and dimethyl disulfide, or DMDS – involved in Webb’s observations of the planet named K2-18 b are generated on Earth by living organisms, primarily microbial life such as marine phytoplankton – algae. This suggests the planet may be teeming with microbial life, the researchers said. They stressed, however, that they are not announcing the discovery of actual living organisms but rather a possible biosignature – an indicator of a biological process – and that the findings should be viewed cautiously, with more observations needed, Reuters reported. Nonetheless, they voiced excitement. These are the first hints of an alien world that is possibly inhabited, said as
Talks between Iran and the United States over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program are “in a very crucial” stage, the head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog said Thursday while on a visit to Tehran. The comments by Rafael Mariano Grossi of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Iran included an acknowledgment his agency likely would be key in verifying compliance by Iran should a deal be reached. Iran and the US will meet again Saturday in Rome for a new round of talks after last weekend’s first meeting in Oman, The AP news reported. The stakes of the negotiations Saturday and the wider geopolitical tensions in the Mideast couldn’t be higher, particularly as the Israel-Hamas war rages on in the Gaza Strip. US President Donald Trump repeatedly has threatened to unleash airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear program if a deal isn’t reached. Iranian officials increasingly warn that they could pursue a nuclear weapon with their stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels. Grossi visits
As the Trump administration ramps up what academics call a “war on science,” US researchers are increasingly looking to Europe for new opportunities — which could be good news for the continent’s tech sectors.
Most people enjoy music to some extent. But while some get goosebumps from their favorite song, others don’t really feel that much. A part of that is based on our culture. But according to one study, about half of it is written in our genes.
Satellites can now track the deep ocean currents around Antarctica that could accelerate climate change.
