In this video from Vox see how advances in AI research have produced a plethora of deep-learning models capable of generating original images from simple text prompts, and DALL-E 2, Midjourney, and Imagen, are explained.

Take a look inside the film growth lab in Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Energy Sciences Center where researchers are growing highly controlled thin films to study energy storage, quantum phenomena, and energy conversion reactions.

In this video, see the robot controlled by Google’s PaLM-E artificial intelligence language model that can process images and text, respond to queries, and even grab a bag of food for you from the kitchen as well as understand images and text and respond to queries with answers in a similar way to chatbot ChatGPT.

Engineers have designed miniature robots that rapidly and reversibly shift between liquid and solid states. Scientists from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh took gallium, a metal that melts at room temperature, and enriched it with magnetic particles. When an alternate magnetic field is run through the metal, it can melt, move, and re-form.

Copper is one of the most used metals in the world, and the first one that humans started to use; see the entire copper mining process in this video from QuantumTech.

See how researchers reporting in ACS’ Nano Letters have found mimicking the seemingly simple head bobbing of silkworms can create uniform micro- and nanofibers with less equipment than other methods.

Video description See inside Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility where on Dec. 5, 2022, the first controlled fusion experiment in history achieved fusion ignition: also known as scientific energy breakeven, the experiment produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it, achieving a major scientific breakthrough decades in the...

Video description This video from Andy Elliott Craft & Creations demonstrates some interesting experiments with shape memory metals while explaining the science behind them.  

Video description Scientists in Denmark have created the world’s smallest “vinyl” record, which is so tiny that it can barely be seen by the naked human eye. Measuring just 15 x 15 mm, with grooves of a depth of just 65 nm, the tiny record plays 25 seconds of Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree in... View Article

  Video description In this video, see the progress researchers at MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms have made toward creating robots that could build nearly anything, including things much larger than themselves, from vehicles to buildings to larger robots.
