We all know that AI and automation are here already, and there’s a lot of talk about how they will disrupt everyday business practices and the professional roles that underpin them. While predicting the outright extinction of some jobs might seem dramatic, it is nevertheless sensible to be realistic about what the future might hold so that preparations can be made for whatever comes next. So with that in mind, here are some tech jobs that are hanging in the balance based on the current direction we’re headed in. Data…

Understanding the universe is a gamble and one that we could have been approaching incorrectly for almost a century. Now, a new theory that suggests our galaxy could be surrounded by a void could help better explain the acceleration, and some are calling it a “Hubble Bubble.”For years, scientists have explained the acceleration of the expansion of the universe using a theory known as the Hubble-Lemaitre constant. Basically, this says that the speed at which galaxies move away from each other is directly…

There are many impressive historic things that we know existed due to various records and reliable witnesses and yet, aren’t able to track them down. The reasons for it may vary from the thing being destroyed, scattered at the bottom of the sea to it being stolen or purposely hidden during times of trouble.Either way, even hidden from people's eyes ancient treasures remain an important part of the world’s history and these people listed things of the sort that are still missing, answering one Redditor’s question: “What…

It turns out we probably haven't detected hints of alien moons in the Milky Way after all.New research shows evidence of two distant moons orbiting worlds outside the Solar System better fits other explanations. Since those were the only two candidates on the table, we're going to have to go back to the drawing board in the hunt for exomoons.But all is not lost. The techniques used to rule out the presence of satellites orbiting exoplanets Kepler-1625b and Kepler-1708b can also be used to find such moons in future…

Nothing’s CMF Watch app really contradicts the success that Nothing has achieved with the Nothing Phone (1) and Nothing Phone (2). The iMessage-for-Android app, built in collaboration with Sunbird, housed a vulnerability related to the company’s internal data. This vulnerability hit the headlines back in August, but it remains unresolved. Android developer and reverse engineer Dylan Roussel discovered two security issues related to Nothing. The first vulnerability was identified in September within the CMF Watch app, a…

Penn State researchers have discovered an extraordinarily massive planet orbiting an ultracool dwarf star, challenging existing theories of planet and star formation. Named LHS 3154b, the planet’s mass is over 13 times that of Earth, while its host star, LHS 3154, has a mass significantly lower than the sun. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers at Penn State have discovered an unusually massive planet, LHS 3154b, orbiting an ultracool dwarf star. This finding, contradicting current theories, prompts a reassessment of…

Sapolsky’s book was published in October 2023. Credit: Wikimedia It seems like we have free will. Most of the time, we are the ones who choose what we eat, how we tie our shoelaces and what articles we read on The Conversation. However, the latest book by Stanford neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky, Determined: A Science of Life…

Imagine you're a farmer searching for eggs in the chicken coop – but instead of a chicken egg, you find an ostrich egg, much larger than anything a chicken could lay.That's a little how our team of astronomers felt when we discovered a massive planet, more than 13 times heavier than Earth, around a cool, dim red star, nine times less massive than Earth's Sun, earlier this year.The smaller star, called an M star, is not only smaller than the Sun in Earth's solar system, but it's 100 times less luminous. Such a star should…

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking AI-based method to detect signs of life on other planets. This method, with 90% accuracy, distinguishes between biological and abiotic samples by analyzing molecular patterns. It promises to revolutionize space exploration and our understanding of life’s origins, with potential applications in various fields including biology and archaeology.“The Holy Grail of astrobiology” – New machine learning technique can determine whether a sample is of biological or non-biological origin…
