    Note, while this article was generated by a language model (in this case, one of Google’s models, although not straight of box), I had asked the system to generate on “sodium in breast cancer”. Point being, it’s impressive, but not… Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of “AI” is how good it isn’t AND how terrible…

    (This is meant as a light-hearted take on superresolution!) Super-resolution—the process of reconstructing high-resolution images from low-resolution inputs—is a foundational technology in modern computational imaging. From revealing microscopic structures in biomedical scans to clarifying satellite images from orbit, super-resolution techniques serve as critical tools in medicine, science, defense, and digital media. Traditional methods, such as…

    In the vast, seemingly boundless stretches of the open ocean—especially the oligotrophic gyres and high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll (HNLC) regions—life is surprisingly dependent on a microscopic trace metal: iron (Fe). Though abundant in the Earth’s crust, iron is exceedingly scarce in seawater. And yet, it plays an outsized role in marine ecosystems, regulating biological productivity, influencing atmospheric…

    New Cryogen-Free Technology for Achieving Superconductivity Cryogen-free technology for superconductivity refers to systems that achieve and maintain the low temperatures required for superconducting states without relying on traditional cryogenic liquids like liquid helium (boiling point ~4.2 K) or liquid nitrogen (boiling point ~77 K). Instead, these systems use closed-cycle cryocoolers, such as pulse tube cryocoolers…
