“Time Breaks Down at Quantum Scale”: New Scientific Discovery Shocks Physicists and Redefines the Laws of the Universe

IN A NUTSHELL 🔍 Physicists in England discovered two opposing arrows of time in open quantum systems, challenging traditional views. 🌌 The study suggests time can move in both directions at the quantum level, revealing a symmetrical nature. ♻️ Entropy continues to increase in both directions of time, prompting a reevaluation of thermodynamic principles. 🧠.

AI-generated podcasts open new doors to make science accessible

The first study to use artificial intelligence (AI) technology to generate podcasts about research published in scientific papers has shown the results were so good that half of the papers’ authors thought the podcasters were human.

In research published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing (EJCN), researchers led by Professor Philip Moons from the University of Leuven, Belgium, used Google NotebookLM, a personalized AI research assistant created by Google Labs, to make podcasts explaining research published recently in the EJCN.

Prof. Moons, who also presented the findings at the Association of Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions (ACNAP) conference in Sophia Antipolis, France, said, In September 2024, Google launched a new feature in NotebookLM that enables users to make AI-generated podcasts. It made me think about how it could be used by researchers and editors.
