The universe has always held mysteries that spark our curiosity. As we currently understand it, the fabric of the universe comprises three primary components: ‘normal matter,’ ‘dark energy,’ and ‘dark matter.’ However, new research is turning this established model on its head.

Enter Rajendra Gupta, a seasoned physics professor who isn’t afraid to question the status quo. With years of research under his belt, Gupta is shaking up our understanding of the universe.

Gupta, based at the University of Ottawa, conducted a study that suggests we might not need dark matter or dark energy to explain the workings of the universe. This bold claim is turning heads in the scientific community.

Two participants entered a lucid dream and exchanged first ever ‘chat’ in dreams with specially designed equipment during REMspace experiment.

Roli, the maker of quirky, portable, and expressive digital pianos and keyboard instruments, has a new device that can both teach budding pianists how to play music and provide seasoned musicians with a new way of adding filters and effects to their songs by waving their hands and wiggling their fingers.

The Roli Airwave is a 14.5-inch tall stand with a camera on top. The camera is positioned downward to track the movements of a player’s fingers as they dance across a keyboard sitting at the base of the stand. The movements of a player’s hands that are captured by the camera are streamed in real time onto the screen of a tablet that sits on the easel-like Airwave stand. The visuals can be used as a teaching tool to show the player which fingers should strike which keys, or offer some additional guidance on how to play a song just right. Of course, the Airwave uses machine intelligence and computer vision to track the player’s hands and to offer its advice on where those hands should be placed.

Can Tesla meet the production timeline for Optimus? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, is set to enter production by 2025. Elon Musk announced that low production for internal use will begin next year, with high production for external companies expected in 2026. Optimus Gen 2, featuring a new design, was showcased at the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. Tesla has been conducting field tests in its gigafactories, indicating progress towards Musk’s timeline for Optimus’ production.

Scientists discovered that the molecule CaMKII helps neurons encode information over seconds, a key process in learning. This challenges previous beliefs about how CaMKII influences synapse-specific plasticity.

A recent study from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience, published in Nature, has uncovered a crucial step in how neurons encode information on timescales aligned with the process of learning.

A timing mismatch.

MILAN — Vast Space unveiled the design of the space station it plans to propose to NASA in the next phase of the agency’s program to develop commercial successors to the International Space Station.

The company outlined its plans for the Haven-2 station in a release timed to the opening of the International Astronautical Congress here Oct. 14, describing how it will deploy the station in segments starting in the late 2020s.

Vast has to date focused on Haven-1, the single-module station it plans to launch in the second half of 2025 to be visited by up to four missions for short stays. However, the company has made clear its intent is to compete for the second phase of NASA’s Commercial Low Earth Orbit Destinations, or CLD, program as part of the agency’s ISS transition efforts.

“A Vision for a 100% Hydrogen-Fueled Future In their research and development testing facility, located at the headquarter office outside of Bergen, Norway, Bergen Engines is diligently working toward the development of a 100% hydrogen-fueled engine by the end of this year, and are on track to reach their goal.”

Bergen Engines now increase full natural gas engine range to run on 25% hydrogen in full operation without modification.
