This simple animation shows the principle of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) using the molecules trimethyl aluminum (TMA) and water (H2O). At the end of this animation 1 monolayer (1 Angstrom ~ 10^−10 m)of Al2O3 is grown.

In this insightful conversation with OpenAI’s CPO Kevin Weil, we discuss the rapid acceleration of AI and its implications. Kevin makes the shocking prediction that coding will be fully automated THIS YEAR, not by 2027, as others suggest. He explains how OpenAI’s models are already ranking among the world’s top programmers and shares his thoughts on Deep Research, GPT-4.5’s human-like qualities, the future of jobs, and the timeline for GPT-5. Don’t miss Kevin’s billion-dollar startup idea and his vision for how AI will transform education and democratize software creation.

Aubrey de Grey is giving a talk on Twitter this Saturday. You’ll get a chance to ask him questions directly if you attend live: [ https://lu.ma/viva-aubrey](https://lu.ma/viva-aubrey)


Join us for an educational talk with longevity scientist Dr. Aubrey de Grey about the state of longevity research, how to get a COVID-style “war on aging,” and the future of life extension science.

A new analysis reveals complex linkages among the United Nations’ (UN’s) 17 Sustainable Development Goals—which include such objectives as gender equality and quality education—and finds that no country is on track to meet all 17 goals by the target year of 2030.

Alberto García-Rodríguez of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS One.

In 2015, UN member countries adopted the Sustainable Development Goals with the aim of achieving “peace and prosperity for people and the planet.” However, setbacks such as the COVID-19 pandemic, , and have slowed progress, and more research is needed to clarify the underlying obstacles so they can be effectively addressed.

Scientists are revolutionizing optical communication with a cutting-edge semantic transmission system that vastly improves efficiency and robustness.

By leveraging multimode fiber (MMF), this approach encodes information in frequencies rather than raw data, achieving a seven-fold boost in capacity over traditional methods. Not only does this technology enhance data transmission, but it also proves remarkably effective in sentiment analysis, allowing accurate interpretation even in noisy environments.

The challenge of increasing communication demand.

Intuitive Machines’ Athena lander is on the moon’s surface but its status is unclear. Second time unlucky: A US company’s lunar lander appears to have touched down at a wonky angle on Thursday, an embarrassing repeat of its previous mission’s less-than-perfect landing last year.
