Human fossil fuel emissions are advancing towards a critical climate threshold at a rate twice as fast as previously anticipated, according to a new report. The 1.5C limit, a key component of the Paris climate agreement, could be breached as early as 2029, rather than the mid-2030s. Record carbon dioxide emissions over the past three […]

What role should physicists play in AI safety?
The Bletchley Park Mansion, known for being the site where Alan Turing and his team cracked Nazi codes during World War II, recently hosted the world’s first major AI Safety Summit. The summit aimed to address the urgent need for international agreement on the use and impact of artificial intelligence (AI). This comes amid concerns […]
Learning Governing Equations and Control Parameters from Data
A new machine-learning algorithm has been developed that can determine the governing equations and control parameters of a system from a few measurements. The algorithm, developed by a team at the University of Washington, Seattle, has been improved from its 2016 version to now be able to identify key behavior-controlling parameters of a system, as […]
