OpenAI is best known for ChatGPT — the free-to-use, large language model-based chatbot that became a household name after its debut in 2022. The firm, in San Francisco, California, has since released a string of cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including ‘reasoning’ models that use step-by-step ‘thought’ processes to specialize in logical tasks. OpenAI’s ‘deep research’ tool: is it useful for scientists?

The dream of seventeenth-century alchemists has been realized by physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), who have turned lead into gold — albeit for only a fraction of a second and at tremendous cost. The not-so-mysterious transmutation happened at CERN, Europe’s particle-physics laboratory, near Geneva, Switzerland, where the multi-billion-dollar LHC smashes together ions of lead for a portion of each experimental run. Early chemists hoped to turn abundant lead into precious gold.

The colours we see are interpreted by our brains based on signals from different types of cells in our eyes. So what if you could activate those cells without any ‘real’ colour existing at all? Brand-new colour created by tricking human eyes with laserScientists have used laser light to activate a specific type of cone cell in the retina and create the perception of a colour that falls way outside the spectrum of what humans can normally see.

.@Nature's measure of top-cited papers of the 21st century is a very AI-heavy list! @Microsoft's ResNets comes in at number 1, with ImageNet, Random Forests and 'Attention is all you need' also in the top 10. Cancer, mental health & PCR are up there too https://t.co/DWbSwWT5Ja

A team led by China's Jian-Wei Pan has created a fridge-sized, 23kg satellite that can perform quantum key distribution in space & used it to transmit a secure image 13,000km. A quantum secure network that spans the globe is not far away. My @Nature story: https://t.co/YED2nvylo3
