Caltech Builds World’s Largest Neutral-Atom Quantum Computer
Researchers kept more than 6,000 qubits coherent while operating with 99.98% accuracy. Here's why that matters for quantum computing.

More than half of world's coastal settlements retreating from rising seas, study shows
Human settlements around the world are moving inland and relocating away from coastlines as sea levels rise and coastal hazards grow more severe, but a new international study shows the poorest regions are being forced to stay put or even move closer to danger.

Climate change is wreaking havoc on World Cultural Heritage sites, study finds
The Great Wall of China, Petra of Jordan, Ellora Caves of India, the traditional Ottoman Houses in Turkey — none of these world-famous historical sites can easily be replaced if damaged. Yet, each of these sits out in the open, inviting hordes of tourists every year, under alarming climate jolts. A recent global assessment revealed […]

The world of Ghost of Yōtei is even more gorgeous than that of Ghost of Tsushima, and the way the world reacts even more impressive: Leaves shuffling, trails in the snow, the sound of hoofbeats on icy lakes. It's a dream just to walk around the world.
The image is a screen grab that to be honest looks drab compared to the scene on an HDR 65" TV.

"The study, which was released on Wednesday, found that 308 of the world’s #billionaires had a combined CO2 tally that, if they were a country, would make them the 15th most polluting country in the world"
What the world *really* can't afford is billionaires.

WoW: Towards a World omniscient World model Through Embodied Interaction
Humans develop an understanding of intuitive physics through active interaction with the world. This approach is in stark contrast to current video models, such as Sora, which rely on passive observation and therefore struggle with grasping physical causality. This observation leads to our central hypothesis: authentic physical intuition of the world model must be grounded in extensive, causally rich interactions with the real world. To test this hypothesis, we present WoW, a 14-billion-paramet…
