>New method allows AI to learn indefinitely

Over the past few years, AI systems have become mainstream. Among them are large language models (LLMs), which produce seemingly intelligent responses from chatbots. But one thing they all lack is the ability to continue learning as they are in use, a drawback that prevents them from growing more accurate as they are used more. They also are unable to grow any more intelligent by training on new datasets.

The researchers tested the ability of conventional neural networks to continue learning after training on their original datasets and found what they describe as catastrophic forgetting, in which a system loses the ability to carry out a task it was able to do after being trained on new material.

>The Best Way to Determine A Star's Age: Asteroseismology

'''https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroseismology'''

Asteroseismology is the study of oscillations in stars. Stars have many resonant modes and frequencies, and the path of sound waves passing through a star depends on the local speed of sound, which in turn depends on local temperature and chemical composition. Because the resulting oscillation modes are sensitive to different parts of the star, they inform astronomers about the internal structure of the star, which is otherwise not directly possible from overall properties like brightness and surface temperature.

Recent research published in the journal Cell has found a link between our mental state and the immune system, particularly through an interaction between the brain and the gut. The study focused on a little-known structure in the digestive system called Brunner’s glands, located in the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine). These glands appear to play a pivotal role in how stress affects gut bacteria and immune defenses.

>Astronauts 3D-print first metal part while on ISS

3D printing in space poses challenges, as many methods rely on gravity to position materials during the printing process. This is because when creating metal structures, molten metal is often used as part of the filament, or printable medium. In space, its behavior can be unpredictable, which can result in poor-quality objects, as the filament might shift or be placed incorrectly due to the lack of gravitational forces.

Scientists therefore had to adapt to work under these challenging conditions, and the International Space Station provided the perfect setting. ESA's metal 3D printer uses a stainless steel wire melted by a powerful laser that reaches 2,192°F (1200°C) to create its molten metal filament that gets deposited layer-by-layer to build out a desired shape.

Through painstaking tests carried out over several months, the team was finally able to adjust the printer to its microgravity environment, producing the first metal part in space this August 2024. The team plans to print two more objects, then all three will be brought back to Earth for quality analysis and future planning.

>Hubble Telescope sees 'stellar volcano' erupt in amazing colors (video, photo)

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an intricate portrait of two nearby stars that have been in close contact for centuries, revealing once again the complex yet volatile relationship of a stellar duo.

The striking, hour-glass-shaped nebula seen in the new image was forged from the centuries-long interaction between its two distinct occupants: a compact, largely unchanging white dwarf and its companion star, an aging red giant that has swelled to more than 400 times our sun's size and dims and brightens over a fairly long period of 387 Earth days.

>Scientists want to spray millions of tonnes of DIAMONDS into the atmosphere to slow global warming - but there's huge catch

In fact, their models show that shooting five million tonnes of diamond dust into the stratosphere each year could cool our planet by an impressive 1.6°C.

However, in news that will come as no surprise, this would come at a hefty cost.

The researchers predict that such a project would cost nearly $200 trillion (£153 trillion) over the remainder of this century.

>Scientists discover a promising way to create new superheavy elements

The heaviest abundant element known to exist is uranium, with 92 protons (the atomic number "Z"). But scientists have succeeded in synthesizing superheavy elements up to oganesson, with a Z of 118. Immediately before it are livermorium, with 116 protons and tennessine, which has 117.

All have short half-lives—the amount of time for half of an assembly of the element's atoms to decay—usually less than a second and some as short as a microsecond. Creating and detecting such elements is not easy and requires powerful particle accelerators and elaborate measurements.

While there have been several techniques to discover superheavy elements and create their isotopes, one of the most fruitful has been to bombard targets from the actinide series of elements with a beam of calcium atoms, specifically an isotope of calcium, 48-calcium (48Ca), that has 20 protons and 28 (48 minus 20) neutrons. The actinide elements have proton numbers from 89 to 103, and 48Ca is special because it has a "magic number" of both protons and neutrons, meaning their numbers completely fill the available energy shells in the nucleus.

Lost world with a 280-million-year-old ecosystem is discovered by hiker in the Italian Alps

Claudia Steffensen and her husband were trekking along a trail in the Valtellina Orobie Mountains Park in Lombardy in 2023 when she spotted a light gray rock covered in 'strange designs.'

The exceptional thing was the altitude - these relics were found at very high levels and were very well preserved. This is an area subjected to landslides, so there were also rock detachments that brought to light these fossils.

Steffensen sent photos to a research team who determined the footprints belonged to a prehistoric reptile that roamed the Earth during the Permian period, the age immediately before dinosaurs.

Further investigation of the region led paleontologists to hundreds of other fossilized footprints left behind by at least five species of ancient reptiles, amphibians and insects.

>What delusions can tell us about the cognitive nature of belief

Based on evidence from delusions and other psychological disciplines, we offered a tentative five-stage cognitive model of belief formation.

As part of her condition, Natalie reported several delusions, including the belief that strangers were her parents-in-law in disguise (known as Fregoli delusion). Natalie recovered quickly with treatment. The combination of interviews and observations while she was experiencing the delusions and her later retrospective account offered a unique window into the onset and experience of her delusions.

Following a full recovery, Natalie confirmed that she considered her delusions to be strongly held beliefs. She likened them to her conviction that her husband was her husband. This is contrary to some views that suggested that delusions are different from normal beliefs.

More generally, Natalie’s account reveals commonalities between delusions and ordinary beliefs and supports the view that delusions can be understood in terms of cognitive processes across the stages of normal belief formation that we identified.

>Supermassive black hole binary emits unexpected flares

This active galactic nucleus (AGN) flared so brightly that AT 2021hdr was almost mistaken for a supernova. Repeating flares soon ruled that out. When the researchers questioned whether they might be looking at a tidal disruption event—a star being torn to shreds by the black holes—something was still not making sense. They then compared observations they made in 2022 using NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory to simulations of something else they suspected: a tidal disruption of a gas cloud by binary supermassive black holes. It seemed they had found the most likely answer.

“The variations in AT 2021hdr cannot be easily explained by any of the mechanisms usually associated to SMBHs,” the team said in a study recently published in Astronomy and Astrophysics.“However, we find that the behavior of AT 2021hdr broadly fits with models of the disruption and accretion of a gas cloud by a BSMBH.”
