Could AI become conscious? Physicists and neuroscientists search for answers

GeekWire

Can artificial intelligence help humans unravel the mysteries of consciousness and quantum physics? It’s a question that has sparked scores of science-fiction plots, from “Colossus: The Forbin Project” in 1970, to “The Matrix” in 1999, to this year’s big-budget tale about AI vs. humans, “The Creator.” But a successor?

Is LK-99 APS evidence enough to believe room-temperature superconductors are real?

Dataconomy

The quest for room-temperature superconductors took a significant leap forward at the recent American Physical Society (APS) meeting with the presentation of LK-99 evidence. If its true, It could open countless opportunites for science. If LK-99 were confirmed as a room-temperature superconductor, it would be a huge deal in science.
