But can we attribute this to anything more natural than anthropogenic effects? Solar activity, for example,has previously been linkedto temperature and issometimes blamedfor climate change. But our new analysis provides evidence for why this isnt the case. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. Like all stars, the sun undergoes variations in solar activity, meaning its energy output varies with time. The visible surface of the sun (which you should never look at directly) is called the photosphere....

In November last year,I started using Zwift, an online gaming-come-indoor cycle training platform. Like Zwift, its $14.99 a month. It first spawned as a collection of exercise videos designed to guide indoor bike trainer workouts. The instructions, music, and carefully curated video really took the monotony out of training indoors. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. How does Sufferfest compare to Zwift? But this isnt a bad thing, road cyclists love to suffer....

A remarkable combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and biology has produced the worlds first living robots. The term xeno comes from the frog cells (Xenopus laevis) used to make them. Xenobots are less than 1mm long and made of 500-1000 living cells. They have various simple shapes, including some with squat legs. Using their own cellular energy, they can live up to 10 days. Below is a video of atime-lapse video showing cells being manipulated and assembled to create xenobots....

DNA evidence often isnt as watertight as many people think. And this problem has led to people beingwrongly convicted. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. Similar challenges emerged when DNA analysis software was first developed a decade ago. How accurate were the results, and what was the known error rate? How exactly did the software work and could it accommodate defense hypotheses? Were the results really so dependable that a jury could safely convict?...

In recent years there has been a resurgent scientific interest in the psychological effects of psychedelic drugs. Consider the example ofrecent trialsin which psilocybin was administered to people diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression. Those involved reported significantly positive responses even six months later. Amidst this psychedelic renaissance, there isone recent studyin particular that has grabbed my attention.

Rats have up to 70 whiskers on their faces, varying hugely in size, and shape. Rat whiskers can vary hugely. We found thatrat whiskers can be accurately described by a simple mathematical equation known as the Euler spiral. Its an example of how special spiral patterns are found throughout the natural world. And spotting them can help us not only understand nature better, but also improve our own engineering. Some are s-shaped, some get more curly towards the tip and some get less curly towards the tip....

The 20th century turned out to be an era of exponential growth in the field of machine learning. Then, the rise ofOpenAIs botin DOTA2 and other fun (potentially harmful) stuff likeDeepfake. But, keeping everything aside, the point is that ML is highly math-intensive. The library provides access to machine learning algorithms and models in the net online gate. Official developers In the online window. But, what do I need? A brief intro to human pose estimation Lets take a small example....

Now we have spotted what we think is a second planet around this star. The star Proxima Centauri is the smallest star in a triple system in the constellation of Centaurus. Since it is the star in closest proximity to our sun, it is usually referred to as Proxima. Like most stars, Proxima Centauri is a cool, small object known as ared dwarf star. It is about eight times less massive than the sun and has about half its temperature....

One of the coolest things fromHitchhikers Guide To The Galaxywasthe Babel fish. And it kicked ass. A universal translator that works that simply? Its not just me that feels this way tech companies have been trying to create a universal translator forever. And its no surprise. So, one and all, say hello to the WT2 Plus. How would we do this? Next up was the phrase. What snippet of text should we use to test out the WT2 Plus universal translator?...
