Ancient climates + quantum architecture + virtual xenophobia

Researchers have demonstrated directional photon emission, the first step toward extensible quantum interconnects.

Gene-Wei Li investigates the rules that cells use to maintain the correct ratio of the proteins they need to survive.

The role-playing game “On the Plane” simulates xenophobia to foster greater understanding and reflection via virtual experiences.

Researchers from the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab and the Harvard Natural Language Processing Group developed the Giant Language model Test Room (GLTR), an algorithm that attempts to detect if text was written by a bot. “Using the ‘it takes one to know one’ method, if the GLTR algorithm can predict the next word in a sentence, then it will assume that sentence has been written by a bot.”

Professor of the practice Alan Lightman hosts a new series exploring timeless and deep questions about humans and the universe with ethicists, philosophers, faith leaders and Nobel Prize-winning scientists.
