Voices from the past get an AI assist. Members of the IRENE project have recently used the AI (artificial intelligence) application ChatGPT to analyse an 1800s sound recording, unlocking a new AI data analysis technique that could uncover the sounds and voices of the past.

Researchers built the largest Type Ia supernova dataset ever and found a hint that dark energy might evolve over time. If confirmed, it would be a dramatic departure from Einstein's cosmological constant. https://t.co/Xm0Zc4E8hB

"The era of quantum gravity experiments is just starting," says @four_form. "It’s crucial we understand the implications of each measurement as we gather the evidence on whether gravity is quantized." Dan Carney & Nick Rodd @LBNLphysics @BerkeleyLab featured in @QuantaMagazine –
A new proposal says that gravitational waves and quantum technology should make it possible to detect an event closely associated with a graviton, the quantum particle of gravity. Physicists are debating what a detection would mean. @walkingthedot reports:
