Gene editing creates compact goldenberry plants suitable for large-scale farming
Goldenberries taste like a cross between pineapple and mango, pack the nutritional punch of a superfood, and are increasingly popular in U.S. grocery stores. But the plants that produce these bright yellow-orange fruits grow wild and unruly—reaching heights that make large-scale farming impractical.

Für US-Regierung gedacht: Manager von L3Harris hat Zero-Days an Russen verkauft
Der Rüstungskonzern L3Harris arbeitet auch an Zero-Day-Exploits für die US-Regierung. Der dafür zuständige Manager hat sich damit aber persönlich bereichert.

Large language mistake:
"Le problème est que, selon les connaissances actuelles en neurosciences, la pensée humaine est largement indépendante du langage humain — et nous avons peu de raisons de croire que des modèles linguistiques toujours plus sophistiqués permettront de créer une forme d'intelligence qui égalera ou surpassera la nôtre."

physics_collab: Multilayer physicist collaborations (2015)
Two multiplex networks of coauthorships among the Pierre Auger Collaboration of physicists (2010-2012) and among researchers who have posted preprints on arXiv.org (all papers up to May 2014). Layers represent different categories of publication, and an edge's weight indicates the number of reports written by the authors. These layers are one-mode projections from the underlying author-paper bipartite network.

Investigation shows large support for core ideas of degrowth—but not the label
The first major study into public attitudes toward degrowth—the notion that high-income economies should prioritize well-being over growing production—reveals significant public support for its key ideas across both the UK (74–84%) and US (67–73%).

Sediments Hint at Large Ancient Martian Moon
Regular, alternating layers in Gale Crater may have been deposited as the result of tides raised by a moon at least 18 times the mass of Phobos, a study says.

paris_transportation: Paris Transportation (2016)
A multiplex transportation network of Ile-de-France, jointly representing the road network, train network, and subway network. Nodes are intersections, rail stations or metro stations. Different modes of transportation are given by different layers. Within-layer edges represent direct transference by a particular mode of transportation, and between-layer edges represent the conjunction of those layers at that node.
This network ha…
