Ecco ‘Aeneas’, l’IA che ricrea testi in latino – Future Tech – Ansa.it

Non solo generazione di testi e foto. Google DeepMind, l’azienda di Big G che si occupa di intelligenza artificiale, ha presentato Aeneas. Si tratta di un modello pensato per supportare gli storici nel compito di restaurare e contestualizzare antiche iscrizioni in latino. Pubblicato in modalità open source, Aeneas è accessibile…

Harvard’s ultra-thin chip could revolutionize quantum computing

New research shows that metasurfaces could be used as strong linear quantum optical networks This approach could eliminate the need for waveguides and other conventional optical components Graph theory is helpful for designing the functionalities of quantum optical networks into a single metasurface In the race toward practical quantum computers…

Millipedes make ants dizzy — and might soon treat human pain

Millipedes get a bad rap — their many legs put people off and could classify them as “creepy crawly.” But these anthropods’ secretions could hold the key to new drug discovery for the treatment of neurological diseases and pain. Chemist Emily Mevers and her team recently discovered a new set…

The plant virus that trains your immune system to kill cancer

A virus that typically infects black-eyed peas is showing great promise as a low-cost, potent cancer immunotherapy — and researchers are uncovering why. In a study published in Cell Biomaterials, a team led by chemical and nano engineers at the University of California San Diego took a closer look at…

Hubble caught a star exploding — and it’s helping map the cosmos

The swirling spiral galaxy in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week is NGC 3285B, which resides 137 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra (The Water Snake). Hydra has the largest area of the 88 constellations that cover the entire sky in a celestial patchwork. It’s also…

This plastic disappears in the deep sea—and microbes make it happen

Researchers have demonstrated a new eco-friendly plastic that decomposes in deep ocean conditions. In a deep-sea experiment, the microbially synthesized poly(d-lactate-co-3-hydroxybutyrate) (LAHB) biodegraded, while conventional plastics such as a representative bio-based polylactide (PLA) persisted. Submerged 855 meters (~2,800 feet) underwater, LAHB films lost over 80% of their mass after 13…

AI turns immune cells into precision cancer killers—in just weeks

Precision cancer treatment on a larger scale is moving closer after researchers have developed an AI platform that can tailor protein components and arm the patient’s immune cells to fight cancer. The new method, published in the scientific journal Science, demonstrates for the first time, that it is possible to…

Google's deepfake hunter sees what you can’t—even in videos without faces

In an era where manipulated videos can spread disinformation, bully people, and incite harm, UC Riverside researchers have created a powerful new system to expose these fakes. Amit Roy-Chowdhury, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, and doctoral candidate Rohit Kundu, both from UCR’s Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of…

This bedtime snack swap could rewire your gut and help prevent diabetes

Prediabetes affects a third of people in the United States and most of them will develop Type 2 diabetes, yet effective dietary intervention strategies remain limited. Pistachios have shown promise in improving markers of diet quality, yet little is known about how they influence the gut microbiome — a key…

Four hidden types of autism revealed — and each tells a different genetic story

Researchers at Princeton University and the Simons Foundation have identified four clinically and biologically distinct subtypes of autism, marking a transformative step in understanding the condition’s genetic underpinnings and potential for personalized care. Analyzing data from over 5,000 children in SPARK, an autism cohort study funded by the Simons Foundation,…
