Geopolitical unrest, rising costs of living, research funding cuts and a widespread sense of decreasing trust in science have put early-career scientists everywhere on edge. World events have added to the uncertain job security of up-and-coming researchers and graduate students, many of whom face defining choices that will shape their career trajectories. Among them are
QED Science has developed an AI tool that examines manuscripts before publication and assesses the originality and validity of their findings.Credit: deepblue4you/Getty A growing number of private firms are offering researchers artificial-intelligence tools for scrutinizing manuscripts before publication. One such system, developed by a start-up called QED Science in Tel Aviv, Israel, aims to judge
Two Polish security researchers wanted to find out how vulnerable their country’s internet was to potential cyberattacks, and quickly found that thousands of public agencies and websites were at risk of being hacked. At the Def Con cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas on Friday, security researchers Robert Kruczek and Kamil Szczurowski said they wanted to
The functioning of the brain is often compared to that of a computer. Some researchers are testing this analogy to its limits, attempting to build computers containing lab-grown cultures of brain cells. In doing so, they hope to circumvent the physical limitations of the silicon-based computing hardware used for artificial intelligence today.1,2. The promise is
