Researchers use AI to design a walking "robot" in seconds
What exactly is a robot, anyway?
Scandium-based "nuclear" clock could provide unprecedented time measurement precision
Atomic resonance so narrow that it doesn't lose a second in 300 billion years
Forward-looking: Atomic clocks are extraordinarily precise and intricate timekeeping devices, capable of maintaining accuracy without losing a second over hundreds of millions of years. Currently, researchers are actively exploring the development of potential nuclear clocks that could offer even greater precision and reliability in time measurement.
Additive manufacturing and math could revolutionize PC liquid cooling
Better cooling performance, lower pump power draw, and cheaper to make

The findings have been described as "catastrophic"
CERN experiment confirms gravity affects antimatter, too
Results rule out cosmological models relying on repulsive matter-antimatter gravitation
Antarctica experienced the sharpest heatwave ever seen on Earth last year, researchers say
Climate change impact likely minimal, but could rise to dangerous levels in the future
James Webb Telescope finds carbon source on Jovian moon Europa
JWST provided "observational evidence" regarding carbon presence in Europa's underground ocean
Why it matters: Carbon is one of the primary building blocks of life as we know it. Therefore, the detection of carbon signs on celestial bodies other than Earth is always a significant discovery. Thanks to JWST's powerful instruments, scientists now have evidence that carbon should be abundant on one of the most promising targets for extraterrestrial life research.
NASA spacecraft successfully delivers sample of asteroid to Earth
A seven-year mission
Supermassive black holes eat gas and dust in mere months, 3D simulation suggests
In context: Supermassive black holes are among the most extreme phenomena that humans have discovered in outer space. They possess a mass hundreds of thousands, or even millions to billions of times the mass of the Sun, and they are responsible for powering unprecedented luminous events known as quasars.

US government is renting out GPU power at half price for a limited time
TL;DR: Private companies are in desperate need for additional GPU computing capabilities to train their new generative AI services, yet they are encountering significant challenges in obtaining them. In contrast, researchers involved in US supercomputing projects currently have access to potent Nvidia GPU nodes at a substantial discount, albeit for a limited time.
