An AI model can calculate the biological age of people from a simple portrait photo – and provides information about the survival prognosis for cancer patients. But how reliably can a face really provide information about life and illness?
A Soviet probe is expected to return to Earth tomorrow after 53 years. Kosmos-482, originally designed for the Venus landing, could survive re-entry and hit the Earth’s surface almost intact due to its robustness.
Something happened at CERN that has a profound impact on our understanding of matter: a measurement suggests that one of the most stable principles of modern physics – the flavor symmetry between up and down quarks – is violated in certain collisions.
In an experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, lead atoms were observed turning into gold – not by magic, but by a quantum physical process during extremely fast near-collisions.
ITER is still a silent colossus of components – but the system that will later bring it to millions of degrees has now impressively ignited. The long-suffering large-scale project has achieved significant technical success.
Four legs, red housing, hissing jet of water: In China, a robot dog is heading towards a fire – not for show, but as part of a fire brigade team. The Unitree B2 is intended to help where people are stuck – with exciting technology.
Controlling insects with technology has long been more than science fiction: They are supposed to crawl through rubble, detect pollutants or transmit location data. A research team from Japan is now pursuing a new idea – a cicada as a living alarm.
New theories suggest that extreme physical conditions at the center of black holes can also be explained without a singularity – i.e. the theoretical point of infinite density that has been giving physicists headaches for decades
ITER is still a silent colossus of components – but the system that will later bring it to millions of degrees has now ignited impressively. The long-suffering large-scale project has achieved significant technical success.
Another Navy fighter jet has crashed into the Red Sea from the USS Harry S. Truman. After a failed landing, the two crew members of the more than $60 million F/A-18F Super Hornet had to be rescued using the ejection seat.
