DeepSeek's AI completes "reasoning" tasks in a flash on alternative chips from Groq and Cerebras. The post Forget Nvidia: DeepSeek AI Runs Near Instantaneously on These Weird Chips appeared first on SingularityHub.

The Quipu superstructure is enormous, spanning 1.4 billion light years - and it could violate one of our fundamental assumptions about the universe

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The team demonstrated that while quantum theory does...

Researchers are launching a multi-site pilot study to assess whether a ketogenic diet, alongside standard medications, can stabilize mood symptoms in young people with bipolar disorder. The 16-week trial will involve 40 ...

Researchers have extracted ancient proteins from australopithecine fossils and determined whether they were male or female -- a first for human evolution studies.

A woman's contraceptive implant ended up in her lung; doctors believe the device migrated because it wasn't inserted in her upper arm properly.

The company offered hackers $15,000 to crack the system. No one could. The post Anthropic Unveils the Strongest Defense Against AI Jailbreaks Yet appeared first on SingularityHub.

Pig gelatin can be used to make a robotic arm that safely biodegrades, rather than adding to landfill

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a belching protostar in its infancy. By studying the dust grains whirling around it, astronomers hope to better understand how solar systems like our own take shape.

An experiment in which people were asked to choose random numbers or boxes on a grid, then do the same a year later, has revealed that we each have our own unique approach to randomness - and we're generally very bad at ...

Turning old fighter jets into a fine powder and using that to 3D print new components is a more sustainable way to build the RAF's next-generation aircraft - and it avoids sourcing materials from Russia

Elon Musk's DOGE task force is reportedly being given unchecked access to the computers that run the US government, and experts warn that it risks bringing down systems and leaking sensitive data

Optical fibers are fundamental components in modern science and technology due to their inherent advantages, providing an efficient and secure medium for applications such as internet communication and big data transmiss...

Unusual weather patterns and climate change have been driving stark changes in the northwestern state. Now, new satellite images show the extent of this transformation.

A prosthetic hand that weighs about half that of a human hand also enables wearers to carry out intricate tasks, such as tying knots

Until now, 90 per cent of the excess heat created by greenhouse gas emissions has been drawn down into the ocean, but this capacity for heat absorption is now being lost, which could lead to longer marine heatwaves and h...

Scientists have cooled qubits to record low temperatures using a quantum refrigerator powered by "hot thermal baths."

Trovants are rocks that grow by absorbing minerals from rainwater. Romania is home to a cluster of trovants that inspired folklore of dinosaur eggs, plant fossils and alien creations.
