Fossils are invaluable archives of the past. They preserve details about living things from a few thousand to hundreds of millions of years ago. Studying fossils can help us understand the evolution of species over time, and glimpse snapshots of past environments and climates. Fossils can also reveal the diets or migration patterns of long-gone species – including our own …

As large language models (LLMs) grow more capable, the challenge of ensuring their alignment with human values becomes more urgent. One of the latest proposals from a broad coalition of AI safety researchers, including experts from OpenAI, DeepMind, Anthropic, and academic institutions, offers a curious but compelling idea: listen to what the AI is saying to itself. This approach, known …

When Voyager 2 flew past Uranus in 1986, the spacecraft detected a surprisingly low level of internal heat from the planet. Since then, scientists believed Uranus to be the odd one out in our solar system’s family of giant planets—the others being Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune—who all tend to emit more heat than they absorb from sunlight. Now, a new …

In 2022, NASA rammed a spacecraft into an asteroid to see if it could alter its orbital period around its parent asteroid. The mission, dubbed the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), aimed to determine whether humanity could theoretically save itself from a catastrophic asteroid impact. DART collided with Dimorphos, a small moonlet orbiting a larger asteroid called Didymos, on September …
