Topological materials are a unique class of materials that possess extraordinary properties due to the intricate nature of their wavefunction, which governs the behavior of electrons within them. These materials exhibit knots and twists in their wavefunctions, leading to fascinating physical phenomena. When a topological material interfaces with its surrounding space, the wavefunction must unwind,

In the fast-paced world of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the concept of data portability is gaining momentum. Inflection AI, the startup behind the Pi AI assistant, recently announced a partnership with the non-profit Data Transfer Initiative (DTI) to enable users to export their data from the platform. This move marks a significant development in the
In recent years, the internet and social media platforms have seen an unprecedented growth. This exponential expansion has provided individuals with the opportunity to share content, both positive and negative, with a global audience. Unfortunately, one of the negative aspects that has emerged from this freedom is the prevalence of hate speech. Hate speech, characterized
Automatic bug assignment has been a topic of interest in recent years, with researchers and engineers recognizing the importance of textual bug reports in identifying and fixing bugs. While textual bug reports provide valuable information, the presence of noise in the texts can hinder automatic bug assignments. Traditional Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques may lack
The recent arrest of Pavel Durov, the boss of the popular social media platform Telegram, in France has once again brought attention to the issue of illegal content sharing on the platform. Durov, who co-founded Telegram in 2013 with his brother Nikolai, has been a controversial figure in the tech world due to his strong
The installation of wind turbines in India’s Thar desert has raised significant concerns among the local communities, especially those heavily reliant on agriculture and livestock. Livestock herders like Nena Ram have expressed frustration over the disruption caused by the giant turbines to their age-old farming systems. Grazing lands have been sacrificed for the construction of
