Origami Space Planes Could Solve a Major Problem in Orbit

Building a spacecraft could one day be as simple as folding a piece of paper into a plane and letting aerodynamics do the rest. A team of researchers from the University of Tokyo simulated the release of a paper airplane from the International Space Station (ISS) to see if would survive atmospheric reentry. In a paper published in Acta Astronautica, the researchers demonstrated how origami may be the solution to low Earth orbit’s growing trash problem. Rather than relying solely on metals to co

Influencers Have Arrived on ‘Foundation,’ and Somehow You Can’t Hate Them

Foundation is generally a pretty serious show. Season three in particular is charting humanity’s march toward certain doom—unless those with the power to reshape the future can figure out an alternative path before it’s too late. But levity creeps into the Apple TV+ Isaac Asimov adaptation when you least expect it, with season three continuing the humorous legacy of a character we said good-bye to back in season two. That dearly departed character is Hober Mallow, of course—the heroic scoundrel

This Simple Strategy Could Curb One of Semaglutide’s Worst Side Effects

But new research published in the journal Diabetes Care suggests there may be a simple way to combat that effect. Led by a team in Israel, the researchers found that giving people more time and flexibility to ramp up to the recommende

Researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google issue joint AI safety warning - here's why

Andriy Onufriyenko / Getty Images Over the last year, chain of thought (CoT) -- an AI model's ability to articulate its approach to a query in natural language -- has become an impressive development in generative AI, especially in agentic systems.

Top AI Researchers Concerned They’re Losing the Ability to Understand What They’ve Created

Researchers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Meta have joined forces to warn about what they're building. In a new position paper, 40 researchers spread across those four companies called for more investigation of AI powered by so-called "chains-of-thought" (CoT), the "thinking out loud" process that advanced "reasoning" models — the current vanguard of consumer-facing AI — use when they're working through a query. As those researchers acknowledge, CoTs add a certain transparency into the inn
