Deep dives
AI can read brainwaves and turn them into text
Researchers have developed an AI that can directly translate brainwaves into text, without the need for voice recognition. In a test, sensors were placed on a person's head as they read selections, and the AI accurately typed the words they were thinking. This breakthrough in brain-computer interface technology could have far-reaching implications, from aiding individuals with limited mobility to potentially creating a live detector that can read thoughts.
Fusion energy closer than ever
Lawrence Livermore Lab has achieved four and six attempts at creating fusion reactions that produced more energy than was used to fuel them. While fusion energy has long been seen as a promising solution, many believed the engineering challenges were still significant. However, with successful attempts like these, experts believe that fusion energy could become a reality in the next ten years.
Narcissists and feminist activism
A study suggests that narcissists may be more likely to engage in feminist activism. The study found a correlation between narcissism and a desire to celebrate one's superiority over others, which aligns with the desire to engage in activities that promote social justice and equality. These findings shed light on the possible motivations behind some individuals' involvement in activism.
