3+ hour, 9+ min ago   (506+ words) Separately they are impressive. Together they could redefine what it means to be human. The first force is artificial intelligence: a mind made of code. The second is quantum physics, the hidden language of the universe, now being turned into…...

9+ hour, 16+ min ago   (1754+ words) There's a big, gaping hole in our understanding of the Universe If you’ve ever read anything about cosmology, you’ll have come across an astonishing statistic: all the matter around us, everything we see and touch, every star and gas cloud…...

9+ hour, 45+ min ago   (182+ words) [astro-ph.EP] Gaia will soon provide a census of cold giant planets. However, an astrometric signal contains the superimposed reflex motion of all companions, so planetary signals cannot be treated individually. We therefore investigate Gaia’s planet-detection capabilities for 1-planet and…...
