Artificial intelligence (AI) models exhibited far less caution about using nuclear weapons against each other in a simulated war game than humans have shown in real wars over the years, a new study ...

Advanced AI models appear willing to deploy nuclear weapons without the same reservations humans have when put into simulated geopolitical crises. Kenneth Payne at King’s College London set three ...

Scientists have already learned how to make helmets, batteries, and even sports cars from wood, so applying it to something like thermal paper might not sound that exciting. Yet it could actually ...

Russia intended this winter to be decisive, with its troop surge breaking its stalemate with Ukraine. Instead, Ukraine’s night-flying bomber drones, nicknamed “Baba Yagas” by Russian soldiers, have ...

Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever before. By combining Einstein’s gravity with realistic behavior of light and ...

If you’re hunting for the best night vision scope, the first decision isn’t brand - it’s technology: digital night vision (needs ambient light and/or an IR illuminator) versus thermal (detects heat ...

As far as household gadgets go, a thermal camera might not be a product at the top of your technology wish list. You might imagine that the home and garage applications of a thermal camera would be ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that ...
