OpenAI was a research lab — now it’s just another tech company
Here’s the thing about asking investors for money: they want to see returns.OpenAI launched with a famously altruistic mission: to help humanity by developing artificial general intelligence. But along the way, it became one of the best-funded companies in Silicon Valley. Now, the tension between those two facts is coming to a head. Weeks after releasing
Research: Flat Hierarchies Can Discourage Women Applicants
Viktor Solomin/StocksyMany firms struggle to attract a diverse talent pool, particularly women. To stand out, companies often tout flatter organizational structures in their recruitment materials, assuming these unique features will appeal to a more diverse group of prospective employees. However, new research uncovers a surprising finding: highlighting a flatter hierarchy may, instead, diminish women’s representation
Research shows gamified investment sites have risks for novice investors
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain What happens when online investment trading platforms start to resemble games that keep people playing for hours, with badges and exploding confetti to reward investors for their engagement? For those who know what they're doing, it won't make much of a difference. New research from the University of Toronto engaging nearly
New Research Challenges Long-Held Views on Brain Processing
Recent research reveals that body movements, specifically whisking in mice, modulate sensory processing in the brain differently than previously thought, challenging the established role of motor cortices. This discovery, which highlights the significant impact of secondary sensory and thalamus inputs, could revolutionize the development of technologies mimicking human sensory-motor integration.Scientists have revealed a new understanding

New Research Sheds Light on Evolutionary History of Tardigrade Extremotolerance
Tardigrades, also known as water bears, can tolerate high doses of radiation, low-oxygen environments, desiccation, and both high and low temperatures under a dormant state called anhydrobiosis, which is a reversible halt of metabolism upon almost complete desiccation. A large amount of research has focused on the genetic pathways related to these capabilities, and a
Research demonstrates that killer T cells can support tissue regeneration
Wound healing and target killing are both effector mechanisms of CD8 T cells. (A) Combined proliferation and killing assay in the presence of influenza-specific CD8 T cells and varying amounts of pulsed peptides on MRC-5 and HaCaT cells seeded in a 30:70 ratio.

New Research Sheds Light on Internal Structure of Dwarf Planet Eris
The trans-Neptunian dwarf planet Eris is tidally locked to its small moon Dysnomia. Recently obtained bounds on the mass of Dysnomia demonstrate that Eris must be unexpectedly dissipative (‘squishy’) for it to have despun over the age of the Solar System. New research shows that Eris must have differentiated into an ice shell and rocky
