Uncovering nature’s secrets is no easy task. The daily life of a scientist is often grueling, frustrating, and—perhaps surprisingly—boring as they repeat experiments over and over.Here’s where AI could lend a hand. This week, two studies offer a glimpse into a future where AI and scientists bounce ideas off each other and collaborate on projects to benefit humanity.Both systems rely on large language models in end-to-end scientific discovery. They read through existing literature, generate hypotheses, suggest relevant experiments, and analyze and interpret the data for scientists to evaluate. The researchers then give the AI feedback, and the cycle begins again.One…
Biometric authentication is no longer limited to fingerprints and face unlock. Researchers are now exploring whether your earbuds can recognize you simply by listening to the tiny vibrations created by your heartbeat. A new study published on the arXiv preprint server introduces “AccLock,” a passive authentication system that uses standard earphone hardware to verify a user’s identity. Instead of relying on microphones or voice prompts, the system works through built-in accelerometers already found in many modern earbuds. Your heartbeat may become your next password The technology captures heartbeat-induced vibrations inside the ear canal, known as ballistocardiography (BCG) signals. These signals…

If found guilty, he faces up to 10 years in prison. “Law enforcement allegedly connected Butler to the administration of the KimWolf botnet through IP address, online account information, transaction records, and…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech An artist in London plastered fake OpenAI ads inside city subway cars calling attention to ChatGPT’s close ties to a series of youth suicides. The artist Darren Cullen, a Banksy-like figure who has conducted many similar “subvertising” campaigns before, posted photos of the faux advertisements on X-formerly-Twitter. The fake ads reflect OpenAI’s minimal black-and-white style, and are affixed with OpenAI’s logo next to text reading “ChatGPT.” “Yes, we built a machine that tells teenagers to kill themselves,” they read. “But — it might…
