At $80 billion or more, OpenAI, a California-based start-up, has reportedly struck a deal with investors. This valuation marks a significant increase in the company’s worth in less than a year. Reportedly, the agreement involves the sale of existing shares to investors led by Thrive Capital. This deal allows executives and employees to sell their
In a groundbreaking discovery, neuroscientists have successfully manipulated the brain’s memory pathways using a cutting-edge prosthetic system. This innovative technology opens the door to potentially enhancing memory recollection of specific details, a feat that was once deemed science fiction. Through a collaborative effort between Wake Forest University and the University of Southern California, researchers have
Artificial intelligence researchers at Amazon AGI have recently unveiled a revolutionary text-to-speech model that is being heralded as the largest of its kind. This model, known as Big Adaptive Streamable TTS with Emergent abilities (BASE TTS), boasts an impressive 980 million parameters and was trained using a massive dataset of 100,000 hours of recorded speech.
Recent research has shed light on the possibility of using minute differences in specific blood protein levels as potential early warning signs for dementia. This discovery has significant implications for the screening of individuals at high risk for dementia and for implementing early interventions to slow down the progression of the disease. With dementia rates
In a recent study conducted by scientists from Tokyo Tech, two groundbreaking design techniques were introduced to significantly enhance the performance of fractional-N phase locked loops (PLLs). These methods were developed to combat fractional spurs, which are unwanted signals that commonly affect PLLs used in various radar systems and wireless transceivers. The implications of these
In a groundbreaking study, researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), Harvard Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology, and Utrecht University have uncovered a novel approach to enhance the selectivity of catalytic reactions. This innovative method introduces a new way to boost the effectiveness of catalysts in a
In a world where plastic pollution is a major concern, researchers are constantly looking for innovative solutions to reduce the environmental impact of plastic packaging. One such solution comes in the form of banana peels. Srinivas Janaswamy, an associate professor of food chemistry at South Dakota State University, has been exploring the use of banana
Chemical synthesis has long been an essential process for creating complex molecules used in various industries. Traditional methods often involve the use of organic solvents, metal catalysts, and reagents that can result in waste and environmental harm. However, researchers from the University of Regensburg have pioneered a groundbreaking approach to chemical synthesis that eliminates the
Mars, despite its quiet demeanor today, has a turbulent past that could shed light on Earth’s own geological history. A recent survey of the Martian surface reveals a landscape once riddled with massive volcanoes, similar to what Earth experienced before the formation of tectonic plates. These findings provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution
University of Pennsylvania engineers have made a groundbreaking advancement in computer processing with the development of a new chip that utilizes light waves instead of electricity to perform complex mathematical calculations crucial to training artificial intelligence (AI). This silicon-photonic (SiPh) chip has immense potential to revolutionize the speed and energy efficiency of computers, surpassing the
The European Union (EU) is implementing ground-breaking legislation called the Digital Services Act (DSA), which aims to address the issue of illegal and problematic content on digital platforms. The DSA applies to large platforms with more than 45 million active monthly users in the EU. Even the world’s largest tech companies face significant fines if
