According to new research, Trionda would show less unpredictable movements in actions such as corner kicks or free kicks. However, in powerful and long-distance clearances it would lose range.
Levin spoke with the CEO about AGI, open-source models and what AI should never replace.

It's long been accepted that the smoother the surface, the lower the aerodynamic drag. That turns out not always to be the case.

There are black holes that are too big to be born from the death of a star but aren’t quite supermassive either. There’s finally evidence for where those came from.

The multifarious methods we use to gather experimental data ultimately boil down to counting or comparing.
Science educator Steve Mould's newest video sheds fascinating light on an oft-forgotten color photography process. Mould's video has the grabby title, "You've Never Seen a Real Photo," which is closer to the truth than it sounds.

Ice-9, in Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, is a fictional polymorph of water that stays solid at room temperature and converts every drop it touches into more of itself. Real ice doesn't work that way, but the underlying idea — that water takes radically different crystalline forms — is legitimate science. — Read the rest

Neutrinos pass through the entire planet without stopping. They travel billions of light-years from colliding black holes and exploding stars without being absorbed or deflected, arriving intact and pointing straight back at their source. But catching enough of them to learn anything requires a detector the size of a city. — Read the rest

Glorp Slimecoil — snelk Path of Wild Magic barbarian and apprentice artificer — builds a ~7 kW cantrip-powered power plant that runs itself 59 minutes per hour, from a zero-slot cantrip, a Stirling engine, and Prestidigitation's three-active-effects cap. With full schematic, animated simulator, and a bill of materials.

• Reason #1: Einstein didn’t say it. Though the quote is often attributed to him (and sometimes Mark Twain or Benjamin Franklin), there is no recorded evidence of Einstein himself ever having made this remark. In fact, the earliest documented instance of it being used is allegedly in a 1981 Narcotics Anonymous pamphlet. It also […]

This is so cool: in the early 1900s, a mechanical engineer named Louis Brennan invented a self-balancing train that ran on a single track. This video demonstrates how the train worked using a clever system of gyroscopes.
This is the Brennan Monorail, a train from the early 1900s that seemed to defy the laws of physics. Not only did it keep itself perfectly balanced on a single rail, but it…
