In December 2025, OpenAI will launch a new ChatGPT feature that lets verified adults create erotic content and participate in romantic or sexual chats. While AI platforms such as Replika and Grok already offer similar experiences, OpenAI’s move represents a major shift in the landscape. The company describes this move as “treating adults like adults,” […]

Poisoning is a term commonly linked to the human body and the natural world. However, it’s becoming an increasing concern in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), especially for large language models like ChatGPT and Claude. A recent study by the UK AI Security Institute, the Alan Turing Institute, and Anthropic, published earlier this month,

“This technology moves X-rays from black-and-white to color, making it easier to spot materials and defects,” said Noelle Collins. Project leader Edward Jiménez said the new Color Hyperspectral X-ray Imaging with Multimetal Targets (CHXI MMT) technology was developed with Noelle Collins and Courtney Sovinec. Sandia Team Tests Technology on Multiple Metal Samples The Sandia National

The ability to consistently reverse the magnetic alignment in materials, called magnetization switching, is crucial for the operation of most memory devices. One common method to achieve this involves generating a rotational force (torque) on electron spins using an electric current, a phenomenon known as spin-orbit torque (SOT). Information storage devices utilizing this effect are

It may sound like science fiction, but it’s now real: Spanish engineers created the first 3D hologram system that lets people touch and control images by hand without damaging the device or distorting them. Asier Marzo of the Public University of Navarra introduced FlexiVol, a system using elastic materials to achieve movie-like effects, such as

In a lab in the scenic Swiss town of Vevey, a scientist nourishes small clusters of human brain cells with a nutrient-rich solution to keep them alive. Mini-brains must stay healthy to process information, since unlike laptops, they can’t reboot once they die. This new field, called biocomputing or “wetware,” aims to harness the brain’s

Empathy isn’t merely a desirable soft skill—it’s a fundamental part of how both children and adults manage emotions, form relationships, and learn from each other. Between ages 6 and 9, children start moving away from self-centered thinking and begin to recognize other people’s feelings and viewpoints. This stage of early childhood is a critical time

When technology malfunctions—like a frozen computer at a crucial moment, a GPS guiding us into traffic, or a washing machine halting mid-cycle—our initial response is usually frustration. These common annoyances often spark irritation. However, a recent study by two Israeli researchers suggests a surprising insight: we tend to extend forgiveness to machines in much the

Amid widespread conflict and division in the news, a UCLA study reveals striking parallels in how mice and AI systems learn to cooperate by pursuing common goals. The results, published in Science, show that both biological brains and AI neural networks independently arrived at similar strategies and neural patterns when working together—pointing to universal principles
