2025/12/15

Modern AI can outperform humans — yet it often fails in the most dangerous way: it remains confident even when it’s wrong. In medicine, robotics, or autonomous systems, this confidence can lead to serious real-world consequences.A new research frontier known as Bayesian electronics proposes a radical shift — not by refining algorithms alone, but by redesigning the hardware itself. Instead of suppressing noise and randomness, researchers are learning to embrace them as a computational

The Secret Phase Between Solid and Liquid

2025/12/10

🧊➡️💧 We grow up thinking melting is simple: solid turns into liquid, end of story. But at the atomic scale, reality gets far stranger. Scientists have now captured a hidden intermediate phase—the hexatic phase—inside a two-dimensional layer of silver iodide. It’s a bizarre state that flows like a liquid but still carries the memory of its crystal structure.Using a graphene “Petri dish,” researchers finally visualized this elusive phase in a covalently bonded 2D crystal—something long believed too

You hear from 20–20,000 Hz… or so you think. 👂✨But why those numbers? And what incredible worlds do we miss because of it?In this episode, we explore how the human ear evolved into a finely tuned—but shockingly narrow—sensor. From an ear canal that amplifies only infant-cry frequencies to a brain that filters out everything irrelevant to our survival, human hearing is not a universal microphone—it’s a biological spotlight. 🔦Discover how much of reality your ears ignore… and what animals hear that
