🧠 AI Decoder Reads Human Thoughts with Minimal Training

💭 A few years ago, American scientists invented a "brain activity decoder" — a device that converts human thoughts into text when listening to a story. Earlier versions worked only on patients they were calibrated for, requiring hours inside an fMRI machine. The new development bypasses this limitation.

🔫 Lightweight and Bulletproof Foam Metal Ready for Mass Production

ℹ️ After many years of testing, the composite foam metal developed at North Carolina State University is now ready for industrial-scale production. This material combines the strength of steel with the lightweight of aluminum, offering protection against bullets, fire, and radiation. Tests have shown that the composite foam metal absorbs up to 78% of the energy from armor-piercing bullets and insulates heat twice as effectively as steel. It reduces the weight of structures, lowers carbon emissions, and enhances the safety of engineering solutions.

🤖 Figure Releases Its Own AI Model for Androids

🤔 California-based company Figure has introduced Helix — a universal "vision-language-action" (VLA) model that allows robots to understand speech, analyze their surroundings, and perform complex manipulations without prior training or programming. The AI is based on two systems: one analyzes the scene and commands, while the other executes actions. This technology enables androids to manipulate thousands of different objects, follow natural language instructions, and even coordinate actions in pairs.

🐟 Fish Can Recognize Individual Divers

🤿 For many years, divers at a research station in the Mediterranean have faced a problem: local fish followed them and stole food intended for experiments. The marine creatures likely recognized a specific diver who had previously brought the food, and they would only chase him, ignoring other people. A group from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior (MPI-AB) set out to investigate whether fish in the wild can recognize and distinguish people. It turns out that animals can easily do so based on visual cues, such as the color of the gear.

👽 Sulfur – A New Tool for Searching Extraterrestrial Life

🛰 The search for extraterrestrial life is one of the most fascinating yet challenging goals in modern astronomy. Even the most powerful telescopes, such as the James Webb, cannot directly detect biosignatures, and future observatories will not be able to study all potentially habitable exoplanets. A team of British astronomers has proposed a method to optimize resources and focus efforts on worlds where life is more likely to exist. They suggest that sulfur dioxide could serve as a new indicator of exoplanet habitability.

🔤🔤🔤 First High-Temperature Disk Laser Made from Yttrium-Lithium Fluoride Crystal

💎 Lasers emitting in the two-micron range are eye-safe and highly efficient in certain applications but usually require cryogenic cooling. A team of Chinese scientists has developed the first thin-disk laser using neodymium-doped yttrium-lithium fluoride crystals. It operates at room temperature, eliminating the need for bulky cryogenic systems while providing continuous high-quality emission.
