MIT’s 3D Printer Can Produce Complete and Functional Electric Motors

3D printers are not Star Trek-style replicators. Most 3D printers can only fabricate parts in a single material and that material is usually some form of plastic. But multi-material 3D printers do exist and by taking that idea to its limits, a team of researchers at MIT was able to build this 3D printer that can produce complete and functional electric motors.

The team didn’t have to start from scratch, because they were able to use an E3D ToolChanger 3D printer as the foundation for this project. That printer model came out several years ago and is now discontinued, but it was and still is pretty unique. It can swap between toolheads on-the-fly to print with different materials, which is a capability most users take advantage of to print with multiple colors or multiple kinds of thermoplastic filament material, such as PLA and PETG.

First-principles approaches and concepts to simulate electrochemical interfaces

State-of-the-art approaches for modelling electrified solid–electrolyte interfaces are critically discussed, highlighting key challenges in incorporating thermodynamic open-boundary conditions, large electrostatic potentials and their dynamic fluctuations into realistic ab initio simulations.

GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE — Welcome To The Perfect Prison

Gore Verbinski’s Good Luck, Have Fun, Dont Die hits like a nasty mirror held up at the worst possible angle. On paper, the setup sounds almost playful: a “Man From the Future” drops into a diner in Los Angeles and has to recruit the exact combination of disgruntled strangers for a one-night mission to stop a rogue AI. But the horror isn’t metal skeletons and laser fire. It’s the idea that the end of humanity doesn’t arrive with an explosion. It arrives with an upgrade. A perfectly tuned stream of algorithmic entertainment that doesn’t merely distract people—it replaces them. A manufactured paradise so frictionless, so gratifying, so chemically rewarding, that the messy, strenuous, inconvenient act of being human starts to feel obsolete.

How space settlement can challenge consumerism

Apparently public interest in extraterrestrial settlement is steadily increasing.

It is impossible to think that anyone involved in thinking about the future of humanity in space can fail to be alarmed by the extent of overemphasis on technical requirements versus the lack of consideration of other key issues.

Space settlement should be developed by following or avoiding certain sets of ideas, doctrines, and philosophical guidelines. In other words, space settlement is in need of an ideology in order to be put in practice. The qualifications of such an ideology can enable us to foresee what a human society would look like, what its social structure and moral values would be, and ultimately whether or not they could survive.

This article is devoted to casting light on how the predominant ideology of consumerism will be challenged by human colonies in space, and in which ways extraterrestrial human culture might affect or reshape our way of thinking here on Earth.

Quantum reservoir computing peaks at the edge of many-body chaos, study suggests

Reservoir computing is a promising machine learning-based approach for the analysis of data that changes over time, such as weather patterns, recorded speech or stock market trends. Classical reservoir computing techniques are known to perform best at the “edge of chaos,” or in simpler terms, at a “sweet spot” in which the behavior of systems is neither entirely predictable (i.e., order) nor completely unpredictable (i.e., chaos).

In recent years, some physicists and quantum engineers have been exploring the possibility of realizing a quantum equivalent of classical reservoir computing, known as quantum reservoir computing (QRC). These approaches enable the processing of temporal data and the prediction of events unfolding over time, leveraging high-dimensional quantum states.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo carried out a study investigating how QRC would behave when applied to complex quantum many-body systems, which consist of several interacting quantum particles. Their paper, published in Physical Review Letters, introduces a physics-based framework that could inform the future development of QRC systems.
