Anthropoic released Claude Fable 5 – A Mythos Class Model. It is a step up in many ways. It seens to be stepping up innovative science improvement. It still feels like very solid incremental improvements but not breaking away yet. But feeling like we are getting closer. It is expensive to run it. Introducing Claude …
Sonny White (Harold G. “Sonny” White) has solid credentials as a NASA veteran but is viewed as a highly speculative researcher in the broader scientific community. His work on advanced propulsion (especially warp drive concepts) generates excitement in enthusiast and media circles. For people who freak out about me platforming Sonny White, they should know …
Sonny White and the Casimir Team have created nanostructures to get microwatts of continuous energy (could last centuries or millenia) by leveraging the Casimir force. In Casimr Energy there are fewer virtual particles between plates with a tiny gap which creates a force by having more virtual particles outside it. The first-generation microsparc delivers performance …
The Helios platform is now available to customers through Quantinuum’s cloud service and on-premises offering. It has 98 Physical Qubits and 50 logical qubits with very low error rates. Launched Nov 2025, Quantinuum trapped-ion, Helios system is in a fully entangled GHZ state. They are fully error-corrected logical qubits at a ~2:1 physical-to-logical encoding rate …
Quera show 580 and 1156 logical qubits with neutral atom quantum computer simulations. April 2026 breakthrough (with Harvard/MIT) they shiow high-rate codes achieving over 50% encoding rate. They are using about ~2 physical qubits per logical qubit or better in simulations, with logical error rates in the teraquop regime. (1,152 physical → 580 logical; 2,304 …
BerkeleyCAL is convening a select group of scientists, technologists, and global thought leaders at the University of California, Berkeley on May 2nd and 3rd to explore the frontiers of aging, longevity science, and their broader societal impact. The conference will feature a keynote by Her Royal Highness Dr. Haya Al Saud alongside prominent scientists such …
The NASA planned 2028 nuclear powered ion drive spacecraft, SR-1 Freedom will have a 20 kilowatt nuclear reactor. SR-1 Freedom will use 20-plus kilowatt fission reactor fueled by High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium and Uranium Dioxide, encased in a Boron Carbide Radiation Shield. This will power a xenon ion drive. Previous nuclear spacecraft designs involved more powerful …
Imaging earth like exoplanets around Sun-like stars from the ground is challenging. We have never done it and here is an advance that could make it possible. A Nature paper predicts the performance of a hybrid space–ground approach that combines a large ground-based telescope, such as the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), the Thirty Meter Telescope …
30 Jan 2026 blog post from Dr Mike McCulloch, he compared the IVO Quantum drive based on Quantized inertia theory, satellite’s orbit to a nearly identical twin control satellite. From late September to late December 2025 (90 days), the IVO sat fell ~600 meters less than the control (IVO: 4,880 m decay; control: 5,480 m …
Anthropic Mythos is Anthropic’s newest frontier AI model tier, announced in early April 2026. It will be a step-change in capabilities over their previous top model (Claude Opus 4.6). Mythos is entire higher tier of models that Anthropic says is larger and more intelligent than our Opus models. Why Mythos Is a Big Deal Anthropic …
The first flyby images of the Moon captured by NASA’s Artemis II astronauts during their historic test flight reveal some regions no human has seen, including a rare in-space solar eclipse. During the lunar flyby, the crew documented impact craters, ancient lava flows, and surface fractures that will help scientists study the Moon’s geologic evolution. …
