NASA engineers test revolutionary printed electronics in space

This technology promises to revolutionize spacecraft design, save space, and enhance communication capabilities, opening up new frontiers for exploration and discovery.

In the vast expanse of space, engineers constantly push the boundaries of innovation to do more with less. Today’s small spacecraft is equipped with sensors, guidance and control systems, and operating electronics, making efficient use of every available space. But what if we could take it a step further and revolutionize the way we integrate electronics into these spacecraft?

Recently, aerospace engineer Beth Paquette and electronics engineer Margaret Samuels from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland,… More.

Gene therapy treats chronic pain by dialing down sodium

Researchers at NYU College of Dentistry’s Pain Research Center have developed a gene therapy that treats chronic pain by indirectly regulating a specific sodium ion channel, according to a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

The innovative therapy, tested in cells and animals, is made possible by the discovery of the precise region where a regulatory protein binds to the NaV1.7 to control its activity.

“Our study represents a major step forward in understanding the underlying biology of the NaV1.7 sodium ion channel, which can be harnessed to provide relief from chronic pain,” said Rajesh Khanna, director of the NYU Pain Research Center and professor of molecular pathobiology at NYU Dentistry.

The Future Of Manufacturing: Generative AI And Beyond

The manufacturing and industrial sector is currently undergoing a transformation with the advent of generative AI, the metaverse and web3 technology. Organizations can now use cutting-edge tools and solutions to streamline operations, increase efficiency, and enhance the customer experience.

Let’s explore the ways in which the metaverse, AI and web3 technology are transforming manufacturing and industrial organizations and what the future of this sector may look like as a result.

The integration of metaverse technology into the manufacturing sector has the potential to revolutionize the way companies operate, providing new opportunities for optimization, innovation, and growth.

The Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence

From Hollywood, to technological innovation, A.I. has been baked into the sociological subconscious for decades. With a new contemporary push, artificial intelligence is capturing the human imagination and pushing it to new depths. We’re hoping to explore all those weird intricacies here.

Big thanks to @ThenNow for lending his voice on the quote within “The Psychoanalysis of Artificial Intelligence”. I’m sure you’re more than ahead of me, but do go check him out!

Consider picking up Isabel Millar’s text, the “Psychoanalysis of Artificial Intelligence.” It played a pretty large role in this video and I highly recommend it.

Scientists Discover Existence of an Elusive Superconductive State First Predicted in 2017

In a ground-breaking experiment, researchers from the University of Groningen collaborated with their peers from Nijmegen and Twente universities in the Netherlands, and the Harbin Institute of Technology in China. Together, they confirmed the existence of a superconductive state that was first predicted in 2017.

Their findings, which demonstrate evidence for a unique form of the FFLO superconductive state, were recently published in the journal Nature. This breakthrough has the potential to be impactful, particularly within the field of superconducting electronics.

Forecasting community Metaculus predicts human-like AI by 2026

Im still in the 2029 camp. But if it happens soon would be great. And, i still project ASI 5 years after arrival of Agi.

The online forecasting community Metaculus currently predicts that there will be a weak human-like AI in January 2026. This is about 25 years earlier than the early 2020 prediction.

Metaculus is a forecasting platform and community focused on compiling and refining predictions about various events, scientific advances, technological breakthroughs, and other topics. Participants submit their predictions to questions posed on the platform, and these predictions are combined into a consensus forecast.

Metaculus uses a scoring system to incentivize accurate predictions and to track participants’ performance over time. This motivates them to revisit and update their forecasts as new information becomes available. The platform is open to anyone who wants to participate.
