    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[A reasonable skeptic might also predict that losing in public would tend to discourage a movement’s supporters. In sports, the idea of “no moral victories” is a cliché. But researchers who study social movements find the opposite. Once people persist in the face of a likely defeat, they often keep fighting.

Why? People willing to lose loudly aren’t deceiving themselves about their power or their prospects. As we discuss in our forthcoming book, co-written with Daniel Kelly, they don’t tend to think: I personally will change history, if only I keep at it.

A comprehensive analysis of protesters in places including Russia, Turkey and Hong Kong found that they were not motivated primarily by belief in their immediate effectiveness, but instead by factors including a shared sense of identity and faith in protest as a way to build a movement. They don’t necessarily think their movements will make all the difference — at least not in the short term. But they believe they can make a difference to their movement.]]></description>

    <link>https://techxplore.com/news/2025-08-diverse-cheaper-solar-panels.html</link>
    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Building on earlier work identifying key cost drivers—such as the number of solar cells per module, wiring efficiency, and silicon wafer area—the researchers conducted a structured scan of the literature for innovations likely to affect these drivers.

Next, they grouped these innovations to identify patterns, revealing clusters that reduced costs by improving materials or prefabricating components to streamline manufacturing and installation. Finally, the team tracked industry origins and timing for each innovation, and consulted domain experts to zero in on the most significant innovations.

All told, they identified 81 unique innovations that affected PV system costs since 1970, from improvements in antireflective coated glass to the implementation of fully online permitting interfaces.

Given the focus on democratic vulnerabilities and the comparatively modest attention paid to the mechanics of dictatorship dissolution, this article delves into the various factors and strategies that contribute to the downfall of authoritarian regimes. As it will show, the means to end a dictatorship can come both from within the regime’s internal power dynamics and from external pressures, including international influence and grassroots mobilization.]]></description>

Floss-based vaccination was superior to sublingual and comparable with intranasal vaccination. In human participants, fluorescent dye delivered via floss picks effectively reached gingival sulcus, supporting clinical feasibility. These findings establish floss-based vaccination as a simple, needle-free strategy that enhances vaccine delivery and immune activation compared with existing mucosal immunization methods.]]></description>

New evidence from a rare twin study now points a clear finger at two species of bacteria that hide in the small intestine.

The study, which compared 81 pairs of genetically identical siblings, singled out Eisenbergiella tayi and Lachnoclostridium as the most likely triggers of the nerve‑damaging disorder.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The system starts out in a random mix of “on” and “off” states. Its goal is to repeat that state—to stay the same. But in each turn, a perturbation from the environment moves through the system, flipping states, and the system has to emit the right sequence of moves (by forming the right self-reinforcing loops) to alter the environment in such a way that it will perturb the system back to its original state.

Putnam’s remarkable claim was that simply by playing this game, the system will learn; its sequences of moves will become increasingly less random. It will create rules for how to behave in a given situation, then automatically root out logical contradictions among those rules, resolving them into better ones. And here’s the weird thing: It’s a game that can never be won. The system never exactly repeats. But in trying to, it does something better. It adapts. It innovates. It performs induction.]]></description>

It wasn't until 2019 when they were able to do complete DNA sequences of her blood discovering that she has PIGZ Gene, a mutated gene that changes how protein bonds to red blood cells according to 10 News in Australia.

The woman from Guadeloupe, a French Caribbean island, isn't the only person with a blood type outside of the main eight types. There are actually 48 blood types in the world but the majority of people fit into one of the well known types. But when it comes to the woman of Guadeloupe, she's the first and only person with her blood type, which has now been named after the island in which she hails–GWADA NEGATIVE.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[When archaeologists opened King Tutankhamun’s tomb in Egypt in the 1920s, the unexpected deaths among members of the excavation team that followed sparked rumors of a “pharaoh’s curse.” Decades later, doctors speculated that fungal spores may have contributed to those deaths. Now, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have found a new way to harness that fungus: using it to treat leukemia.

Detailing their findings in the journal Nature Chemical Biology, the scientists isolated a new class of molecules from Aspergillus flavus, a toxic crop fungus linked to infamous deaths following the excavations of ancient tombs. After the chemicals were modified, the resulting compound showed “promising” cancer-killing properties that rivaled FDA-approved drugs when tested against leukemia cells, according to a press release, opening new frontiers for fungal medicines. ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Around the world, 20 percent of children are not fully immunized, leading to 1.5 million child deaths each year from diseases that are preventable by vaccination. About half of those underimmunized children received at least one vaccine dose but did not complete the vaccination series, while the rest received no vaccines at all.

To make it easier for children to receive all of their vaccines, MIT researchers are working to develop microparticles that can release their payload weeks or months after being injected. This could lead to vaccines that can be given just once, with several doses that would be released at different time points.

In a study appearing today in the journal Advanced Materials, the researchers showed that they could use these particles to deliver two doses of diphtheria vaccine — one released immediately, and the second two weeks later. Mice that received this vaccine generated as many antibodies as mice that received two separate doses two weeks apart.]]></description>

By cutting out the cement, the material serves as a lower-carbon material for green construction.

According to the UN Environment Programme, the built environment and construction sectors make up 37% of total global emissions. Cement, in particular, is one of the highest-emitting materials, making up 8% of global emissions, the World Economic Forum reported.

Cement is the most commonly used material for soil solidification. Soil solidifiers are often used in construction, such as for building roadbeds or building foundations. The solidifiers are added to soil for better binding, compaction, water-resistance and strength.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The world's first nuclear-powered battery, which uses a radioactive isotope embedded in a diamond, could power small devices for thousands of years, scientists say.

The nuclear battery uses the reaction of a diamond placed close to a radioactive source to spontaneously produce electricity, scientists at the University of Bristol in the U.K. explained in a Dec. 4 statement. No motion — neither linear nor rotational — is required. That means no energy is needed to move a magnet through a coil or to turn an armature within a magnetic field to produce electric current, as is required in conventional power sources.

The diamond battery harvests fast-moving electrons excited by radiation, similar to how solar power uses photovoltaic cells to convert photons into electricity, the scientists said.]]></description>

Three is the sweet spot, he says, as longer sets of building blocks are likely to mispair. So, in the team’s system, an RNA enzyme in double-helix form is mixed with triplets.
The solution is made acidic and warmed to 80°C (176°F) to separate the helix, allowing the triplets to pair up. The solution is then made alkaline and cooled to -7°C (19°F). As the water freezes, the remaining liquid becomes highly concentrated and the RNA enzyme becomes active and joins up the triplets, forming a new strand.
So far, the researchers have only been able to replicate up to 30 letters of the 180-letter-long RNA enzyme, but they think that by improving the efficiency of the enzyme, they can achieve complete replication.]]></description>

But the students are not just learning how to be scientists, they are also advancing the cutting-edge research that fuels the U.S. economy. These breakthroughs — ranging from the internet to GPS technology to MRI to smartphones to advanced pharmaceuticals — are central to America’s competitive advantage and are so economically beneficial that the research more than pays for itself.

President Donald Trump’s proposed budget cuts to scientific research will take a sledgehammer to this system. The NSF faces a staggering 55% budget cut, slashing funds from $9 billion in 2025 to $4 billion for 2026.

NASA’s science budget may shrink by over half, and the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, faces a 44% reduction.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Hydrogen fuel cells, which power some electric cars, pack far more energy per weight than lithium-ion batteries. The devices also show promise for decarbonizing aviation, shipping, and trucking. But hydrogen fuel requires compression or cryogenic temperatures for storage.

A new sodium-air fuel cell could be a more practical and sustainable power source (Joule 2025, DOI: 10.1016/j.joule.2025.101962). The fuel cell has an energy density of over 1,000 W h/kg, roughly four times that of typical electric vehicle batteries, which is the benchmark “that’s recognized as necessary to electrify aviation and other hard-to-decarbonize transport sectors,” says Yet-Ming Chiang, a materials scientist and battery specialist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who led the study.

The device could, in theory, propel a single-aisle 50–100 passenger airplane—a size typically used for regional flights—for more than 320 km, Chiang says. And as it discharges, it produces sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which you could use to capture carbon dioxide or sell to the chemical industry, he says.]]></description>

The material, which was created by a team from Empa in Switzerland, manages to balance biodegradability with toughness and versatility – a feat that is far from easy in materials science.

The researchers processed fibers from the mycelium (the root-like part) of the split-gill mushroom (Schizophyllum commune) into a liquid mixture, without actually killing them off or destroying their natural biological functions.

The resulting gel-like material is called living fiber dispersions, or LFD, and it can be molded into many different forms. It also makes full use of the extra substances produced by mushrooms, where other biomaterials might just use the core fungal cells.]]></description>

While these tools can enhance human creativity when people co-create with them, it’s unclear how this will impact unassisted human creativity. We conducted two large pre-registered parallel experiments involving 1,100 participants attempting tasks targeting the two core components of creativity, divergent and convergent thinking. We compare the effects of two forms of large language model (LLM) assistance—a standard LLM providing direct answers and a coach-like LLM offering guidance—with a control group receiving no AI assistance, and focus particularly on how all groups perform in a final, unassisted stage. Our findings reveal that while LLM assistance can provide short-term boosts in creativity during assisted tasks, it may inadvertently hinder independent creative performance when users work without assistance, raising concerns about the long-term impact on human creativity and cognition.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“Since Donald Trump’s inauguration, the country has embarked on the slippery slope toward autocracy,” concludes political scientist Daniel Stockemer of the University of Ottawa, in a May report in Politics & Policy. Rather than a coup, Trump’s attacks on law firms, universities, immigrants and others constitute “a more incremental form of democratic erosion,” he writes, one that follows a six-step theory of incremental autocratization based on research on the democratic backsliding seen worldwide in recent decades. The model arose in major part from the work of political scientist Marianne Kneuer of the Dresden University of Technology. She looked at the last quarter-century’s collapse in Venezuela, examining how states turn from democratic to autocratic in stages, as opposed to a sudden coup.

The U.S. has already breached the first three steps of Stockemer’s theory. The first step is one of social turmoil; this originated with the Tea Party movement during the Obama administration. Marked by angry politics, backlash against minorities and immigrants, and distrust in institutions, the U.S. has in the last two decades changed from a “full” to a “flawed” democracy, according to the Economist’s global democracy index.

The second step requires a “project of radical change,” like the populist movement of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez in the 1990s, or in the U.S. case Trump’s MAGA movement, which defends white, male privileges and holds prime loyalty for many Republicans.

The third step is a “decisive electoral victory,” applicable to Chavez in 1999 or Trump in 2024, the latter a vote that also brought Trump control of a subservient Congress.

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The disappearance of high-quality empirical evidence means not only fewer rebuttals of right-wing dogmas, but also a bigger market for wellness pseudoscience and other scams—such as Kennedy’s imbecilic suggestion to treat the growing measles outbreak in the Southwest with cod-liver oil. America under Trump is rejecting one of the most effective health-care infrastructures in human history and embracing woo-woo nonsense on par with medieval doctors measuring the four humors.

The book burnings of the past had physical limitations; after all, only the books themselves could be destroyed. The Trumpist attack on knowledge, by contrast, threatens not just accumulated knowledge, but also the ability to collect such knowledge in the future. Any pursuit of forbidden ideas, after all, might foster political opposition. Better for Americans to be as gullible and easily manipulated as the people who buy brain pills from right-wing podcasts, use ivermectin to treat COVID, or believe that vaccines are “weapons of mass destruction.” This purge will dramatically impair the ability to solve problems, prevent disease, design policy, inform the public, and make technological advancements. Like the catastrophic loss of knowledge in Western Europe that followed the fall of Rome, it is a self-inflicted calamity. All that matters to Trumpists is that they can reign unchallenged over the ruins.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Mosquito nets are low-cost weapons in the war on malaria, but the biting bugs have become resistant to the insecticides used on these nets. Researchers have now created a chemical arsenal that doesn’t kill mosquitoes but destroys the malaria parasites within them instead. These inexpensive, long-lasting compounds could be incorporated into netting to prevent malaria transmission (Nature 2025, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-09039-2).]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Scientists have created a novel antimicrobial coating that, when mixed with paint, can be applied to a range of surfaces to destroy bacteria and viruses – including particularly persistent and difficult to kill strains like MRSA, flu virus and SARS-CoV-2. The development potentially paves the way for substantial improvements in scientific, commercial and clinical hygiene.

The University of Nottingham-led team made the material by combining chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) – a disinfectant commonly used by dentists to treat mouth infections and by clinicians for cleaning before surgery – with everyday paint-on epoxy resin. Using this material, the team worked with staff at Birmingham-based specialist coating company Indestructible Paint to create a prototype antimicrobial paint. They found that, when dried, the coating can kill a wide range of pathogens.]]></description>

She also documented benefits from a strain of another soil microbe, Azospirillum, which releases hormones that stimulate the growth of roots, allowing plants like corn, wheat and pasture grasses to capture nutrients more efficiently.

"She's a phenomenal scientist. A role model for many people, including myself," says Leo Bortolon, a soil scientist from Brazil who's now a researcher at North Dakota State University. According to Bortolon, most seeds of major crops like soybeans or corn in Brazil now are coated with microorganisms before planting.]]></description>

Quite literally. It dominates your skin microbiome, where it seems to keep staph infections at bay.

The overlooked agent is a species of natural yeast, called Malassezia sympodialis – one of the most prevalent microorganisms on healthy human skin. New research suggests that as it cleans oil and fat from your body's exterior, the fungi can produce a fatty acid that stops the development and growth of a staph infection.

According to lab experiments, led by scientists at the University of Oregon (UO), M. sympodialis can antagonize Staphylococcus aureus bacteria through its acidic byproducts.]]></description>

So, the research team, based in Shenzhen, China, started by simply testing a number of lab bacteria strains to develop one that could survive these conditions. The one that seemed to survive the best was Vibrio natriegens. These bacteria were discovered in a salt marsh, and their primary claim to fame is an impressive growth rate, with a population being able to double about every 10 minutes.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[As human-caused climate change continues threatening the way of life for virtually every species on Earth, what if one group of organisms right under (and inside of) our noses could help reverse climate change? That’s what a recent report from the American Society of Microbiology (ASM) and the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS) argues.

The report, authored by a global advisory group of scientists, suggests utilizing microbes to revolutionize the fight against climate change. By developing and scaling up microbial-based solutions, we could mold a non-fossil fuel economy, provide a massive boost to ecosystem and crop resilience and remove enormous amounts of methane from the atmosphere, it says.

However, the researchers argue, the notion of using microbes to combat climate change is significantly overlooked, and despite lying in something of a public-eye, academic and policy blindspot, these solutions could provide safe, effective, scalable and economically sustainable climate solutions within five to 15 years.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The researchers introduce a sulfur diimide reagent that enables the installation of amine groups at specific locations in the polymer chains. This step is crucial because it sets the stage for the subsequent backbone rearrangement. This chemical reaction reorganizes the polymer backbone, breaking down the rubber into soluble amine-functionalized materials that can be used to produce epoxy resins.

The researchers showed that their two-step process works very well. In a test with a model polymer, they broke it down significantly, reducing its molecular weight from 58,100 g/mol to about 400 g/mol. When they applied the method to used rubber, it broke down completely in just six hours, turning it into a soluble material with amine groups that could be used to manufacture broadly useful materials like epoxy resins.

The efficiency of this method is particularly striking when compared to traditional recycling techniques, which often require extreme temperatures or expensive catalysts. The researchers achieved their results under mild conditions (35-50°C, or 95-122°F) in aqueous media, making the process more environmentally friendly and cost-effective.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Why has the public gutting of science not caused an immediate political backlash? The authors of the culling have correctly recognized that the public has no idea how science works and has no connection to scientists who aren’t on television. Note that the blame game is irrelevant here: I’m not saying that it’s scientists’ fault. We are doing the job we were trained to do, chasing the prizes that our mentors taught us to chase. In our new world, the expert who carefully engages science journalists and translates findings to our lesser-educated relatives will be just as valuable as the one who generates boatloads of data on the backs of a dozen overworked graduate students. This communicative aspect, now embodied in the science communication movement, must become a formal technical frontier of the scientific enterprise, and not patronizingly summarized as “outreach” or “activism.”

We aren’t lying if we complain that some of these activities aren’t what we were trained for. We spent our lives mastering the methods that allow us to uncover the mysteries of the natural world. My only retort is that such pearl-clutching may reveal that some of us weren’t cut out to be scientists in the first place. Because the truest test of scientific wits is agility; the ability to pivot on a dime. With impressive efficiency, we’ve built atomic bombs, cyclotrons, and mRNA vaccines. We’ve sequenced the genomes of thousands of species.

The good news is that what is required to reduce harm does not rely on developing the supply chain for a rare enzyme or securing taxpayer dollars for a new space station. The bad news is that it involves doing something that is just as ambitious: rethinking the very basics of what the job of a scientist is, why we do our jobs, and what it means to do them well.]]></description>

Published by Hannah Ritchie, the article focuses on two kinds of gases emitted from industrial activity: sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx). Both enter the air we breathe from the burning of fossil fuels—coal in particular—while the latter is emitted mostly from internal combustion engines.]]></description>

We over-recruited again, just like every single one of the trials that we ran, and the trial finished one year ahead of schedule. That’s completely unheard of in cancer trials because they normally run over-long.

What will happen now is that, over the next six to 12 months, we will monitor the people in the trial and work out if there’s a difference between the people who took the cancer vaccine and the ones who didn’t. We’re hoping to have results by the end of the year or beginning of 2026. If it’s successful, we will have invented the first approved personalized mRNA vaccine, within only five years of the first licensed mRNA vaccine for Covid. That’s pretty impressive.]]></description>

Now, the new(ish) telescope is way, way too overloaded with important observations to take the time to try this method, but here’s the cool thing: all the observations it has ever made are in an archive. Not only that, but even more fun is the team of astronomers had used JWST themselves to observe the nearby red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 to look at the planets orbiting it, trying to determine their atmospheric characteristics. They had more than ten thousand images at their disposal! Plenty to work with. 

Their method uncovered eight previously known asteroids. But they also found 138 new asteroids, never before detected. Their diameters can be estimated by their measured brightness and known distances, and they are in the tens of meters range, so roughly school bus sized up to a football field.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[An experimental approach to treating pancreatic cancer with the messenger RNA (mRNA)-based therapeutic cancer vaccine autogene cevumeran continues to show potential to stimulate an immune response that may reduce the risk of the disease returning after surgery in a small patient group.

New results from the phase 1 clinical trial, now published in the journal Nature, show that the therapeutic cancer vaccine activated tumor-specific immune cells that persisted in the body up to nearly four years after treatment in some patients. In addition, patients with a vaccine-induced immune response had a reduced risk of the cancer coming back at a three-year follow-up compared with patients whose immune systems did not respond.

“The latest data from the phase 1 trial are encouraging,” says Vinod Balachandran, MD, principal investigator of the trial and senior author of the new publication. “They suggest this investigational therapeutic mRNA vaccine can mobilize anti-tumor T cells that may recognize pancreatic cancers as foreign, potentially years after vaccination.”]]></description>

While the exact mechanisms remain under investigation, researchers speculate that vaccines could help by reducing systemic inflammation or preventing infections that may accelerate cognitive decline.

Digging deeper into this correlation, Schulz said, "We and others hypothesize that the immune system is responsible for causing brain cell dysfunction in Alzheimer's. The findings suggest to us that vaccination is having a more general effect on the immune system that is reducing the risk for developing Alzheimer's."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[First, I think we need to seriously consider how critical thinking is taught (or not taught) in schools. Real critical thinking skills need to be taught at every level and in almost every subject, but also as a separate dedicated course (perhaps combined with some basic scientific literacy and media savvy). Hey, one can dream.

The probability of doing something meaningful in terms of regulating media seems close to zero. That ship has sailed. The fairness doctrine is gone. We live in the proverbial wild west of misinformation, and this is not likely to change anytime soon. Therefore, individually, we can protect ourselves by being skeptical, working our analytical thinking skills, checking our own biases and motivated reasoning, and not relying on a few ideologically aligned sources of news. One good rule of thumb is to be especially skeptical of any news that reinforces your existing biases. But dealing with a societal problem on an individual level is always a tricky proposition.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The best study on the subject in my opinion suggests that in the long term, institutions really can’t save us; that civil society and mass mobilization are a more potent check on a backsliding democracy in the long term than relying on institutional checks and balances alone." That's what political scientist Erica Chenoweth told me when I asked them if we could have a conversation (by email, below in full) about the current constitutional crisis/coup attempt and what we can do about it. Chenoweth is a hugely influential scholar of nonviolent social change, best known for their empirical research that not only documents what makes civil resistance work but demonstrates that it works, often extremely effectively. They direct the  Nonviolent Action Lab, which studies how people have built movements and developed strategies to resist authoritarianism successfully and documents how nonviolence can be effective. There's no one I wanted to hear from more in this constitutional crisis, and I'm grateful I can share their insights with all of you.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Cows in Nevada have been infected with a strain of H5N1 bird flu different from the strain detected in all other herds to this point in the ongoing dairy outbreak. It's the same strain that killed a Louisiana resident in early January and sent a Canadian teenager to intensive care in early November.

The new Nevada dairy infections were first detected through milk testing conducted on January 31, according to an update Wednesday by the US Department of Agriculture. Whole genome sequencing confirmed the finding of H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype D1.1. To this point, all other dairy herds affected by the outbreak have been infected with H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype B3.13.

To date, 957 herds across 16 states have been infected with H5N1 since the outbreak began last March. That tally includes four new herds from Nevada.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Chatbots err for many reasons, but computer scientists tend to refer to all such blips as hallucinations. It’s a term not universally accepted, with some suggesting ‘confabulations’ or, more simply, ‘bullshit’. The phenomenon has captured so much attention that the website Dictionary.com picked ‘hallucinate’ as its word of the year for 2023.

Because AI hallucinations are fundamental to how LLMs work, researchers say that eliminating them completely is impossible3. But scientists such as Zou are working on ways to make hallucinations less frequent and less problematic, developing a toolbox of tricks including external fact-checking, internal self-reflection or even, in Zou’s case, conducting “brain scans” of an LLM’s artificial neurons to reveal patterns of deception.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[ Groups can make better decisions than individuals on their own, by allowing humans to correct each other’s bullshit and counter each other’s biases. We explain this in a new open access article in the American Political Science Review, where we discuss other ways in which democracy skeptics either miss or misunderstand much of the psychological research that they rely on to discredit democracy.

...


In one sense, the libertarian critics are right. Ordinary citizens are hopelessly biased. In another, they are terribly wrong. They themselves are biased, as are we, and as is everyone else. This does not doom democracy. Instead, it can help make it better. Biases—if harnessed properly rather than allowed to dominate—can be useful and even valuable. If we can figure out how to harness human psychology, with all its limitations, taking lessons from institutions like Wikipedia and experiments all over the world, we can start figuring out how to rebuild American democracy, and democracy elsewhere, on foundations that are deeper and more sure.

Instead of trusting that democracy’s manifest destiny will allow it to prevail, we can put our trust, as Franklin Delano Roosevelt did 90 years ago, in “bold and persistent experimentation,” and “enthusiasm, imagination and the ability to face facts, even unpleasant ones, bravely.” It has been a bad decade for democracy, and it may be that things will become still worse in the coming years, after a temporary period of respite. But the notion that human bias dooms democracy to failure is wrong. It is exactly on our biases that a better and stronger democracy might be founded.]]></description>

Now, A.I. hallucinations are reinvigorating the creative side of science. They speed the process by which scientists and inventors dream up new ideas and test them to see if reality concurs. It’s the scientific method — only supercharged. What once took years can now be done in days, hours and minutes. In some cases, the accelerated cycles of inquiry help scientists open new frontiers.
“We’re exploring,” said James J. Collins, an M.I.T. professor who recently praised hallucinations for speeding his research into novel antibiotics. “We’re asking the models to come up with completely new molecules.”]]></description>
