The danger map of artificial intelligence

There is no doubt that the new technological breakthroughs will change the face of scientific research. A new article points out three failures to watch out for
WEAVE data are superimposed on an image from the Stephen Quintet's James Webb Space Telescope, with green contours showing data from the LOFAR radio telescope. The orange and blue colors follow the hydrogen-alpha luminosity measured by WEAVE LIFU, which shows where the intergalactic gas is ionizing. The hexagon marks WEAVE's observational coverage, 36 kilofarsecs wide (similar to the width of the Milky Way). Credit: University of Hertfordshire.

A galactic collision at a speed of 3.2 million km/h has been documented in great detail

The dramatic event took place in the Stefan Quintet group, a galactic group that has been studied for nearly 150 years. The collision created a powerful shock wave, described as "like the supersonic boom of a fighter jet," one of the most impressive energetic processes
This is a group of chemicals with great stability in the environment that do not break down naturally - which earns them the nickname "the eternal chemical". Illustration: depositphotos.com

Why did this morning's omelet ruin my night?

In water, clothes, packaging and even in your omelette: the places where the persistent PFAS chemicals are hiding, why it's hard to give them up and how you can still avoid the health hazards
