Hypermodal AI Converges Predictive, Causal And Generative AI

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI, security

In software application development environments, the consensus is gravitating towards the use of AI as a helping and testing mechanism, rather than it being wholly offered the chance to create software code in and of itself. The concept here is that if so-called citizen developer business laypeople start creating code with software robots, they will never be able to wield the customization power (and ability to cover security risks) that hard-core software developers have.

As we now grow with AI and start to become more assured in terms of where its impact should be felt, we may now logically look to the whole spectrum of automation that it offers. This involves the concept of so-called hypermodal AI i.e. intelligence capable of working in different ‘modes’, some of which will predict, some of which will help determine and some of which will generate.

Today describing itself as unified observability and security platform company (IT vendors are fond of changing their opening ‘elevator sell’ line every few years), Dynatrace has now expanded its Davis AI engine to create hypermodal AI that converges fact-based predictive AI, with causal AI insights with new generative AI capabilities.

Earth-like planet that humans could live on found just 31 lightyears away

Posted by in category: space

A planet with conditions on the surface resembling Earth has been discovered a relatively short distance from us.

In fact, it’s just 31 light-years away, which is the space equivalent of ‘down the road’.

Scientists are always excited when it comes to the discovery of new exoplanets, and this is no different.

Map shows how you would be affected by a nuclear bomb

Posted by in categories: existential risks, military

A rather macabre interactive map demonstrates how the area you live in would be impacted if a nuclear bomb were to hit it. Nuclear war is as big a talking point these days as it ever has been. Advert With Russia and Ukraine still at war, Russian President Vladimir Putin has made some not-so-veiled threats about nuclear weapon use.

Researchers control the anomalous Hall effect and Berry curvature to create flexible quantum magnets

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, computing, quantum physics

Some of our most important everyday items, such as computers, medical equipment, stereos, generators, and more, work because of magnets. We know what happens when computers become more powerful, but what might be possible if magnets became more versatile? What if one could change a physical property that defined their usability? What innovation might that catalyze?

It’s a question that MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) research scientists Hang Chi, Yunbo Ou, Jagadeesh Moodera, and their co-authors explore in a new, open-access Nature Communications paper, “Strain-tunable Berry curvature in quasi-two-dimensional chromium telluride.”

Understanding the magnitude of the authors’ discovery requires a brief trip back in time: In 1,879, a 23-year-old graduate student named Edwin Hall discovered that when he put a magnet at right angles to a strip of metal that had a current running through it, one side of the strip would have a greater charge than the other. The was deflecting the current’s electrons toward the edge of the metal, a phenomenon that would be named the Hall effect in his honor.

Goddard, Wallops Engineers Test Printed Electronics in Space

Posted by in categories: futurism, space

Engineers successfully tested hybrid printed circuits at the edge of space in an April 25 sounding rocket flight from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility near Chincoteague, Virginia. Electronic temperature and humidity sensors printed onto the payload bay door and onto two attached panels monitored the entire SubTEC-9 sounding rocket mission, recording data that was beamed to the ground. The experiment by aerospace engineer Beth Paquette and electronics engineer Margaret Samuels of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, sought to prove the space-readiness of printed electronics technology.


Printing electronic circuits on the walls and structures of spacecraft could help future missions do more in smaller packages.

Strong as Glass

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, materials

Materials that are both strong and lightweight could improve everything from cars to body armor. But usually, the two qualities are mutually exclusive. Now, University of Connecticut researchers and colleagues have developed an extraordinarily strong, lightweight material using two unlikely building blocks: DNA and glass.

“For the given density, our material is the strongest known,” says Seok-Woo Lee, a materials scientist at UConn. Lee and colleagues from UConn, Columbia University, and Brookhaven National Lab report the details on July 19 in Cell Reports Physical Science.

Strength is relative. Iron, for example, can take 7 tons of pressure per square centimeter. But it’s also very dense and heavy, weighing 7.8 grams/cubic centimeter. Other metals, such as titanium, are stronger and lighter than iron. And certain alloys combining multiple elements are even stronger. Strong, lightweight materials have allowed for lightweight body armor, better medical devices and made safer, faster cars and airplanes. The easiest way to extend the range of an electric vehicle, for example, is not to enlarge the battery but rather make the vehicle itself lighter without sacrificing safety and lifetime. But traditional metallurgical techniques have reached a limit in recent years, and materials scientists have had to get even more creative to develop new lightweight high strength materials.
