Two bioengineers explain how we could deliver drugs that better withst

To compensate for degradation in the stomach, oral medications typically come in doses that are higher than necessary. This strategy works for many common small-molecule drugs that have a low mass. They are often more stable and can more easily enter cells compared to other types of drugs. However, increasing dosage is not a viable approach for treatments that easily build up to toxic levels, are too sensitive to the acidity of the stomach, or are very costly. A stomach acid-resistant material To help drugs withstand the…

Dinosaur Diets May Help Explain Dramatic Diversity

If you traveled across what is now North America around 75 million years ago, you would see vastly different dinosaur species everywhere you went. The dramatic variation in this period's fossils, found throughout the western half of the continent, has long puzzled paleontologists. Some have proposed that mountains or rivers might have isolated evolving dinosaur populations, leading to greater diversity. But a new study suggests a different possibility. Part of the answer, researchers report in the journal Palaeontology,…

Clashes of inference and perspective explain why children sometimes lose the plot in conversation

An example of the cards used in the experiment. The child could see all four cards, but had a conversation with a puppet manipulated by an adult, which could not 'see' the card top right. Thus, if the puppet asked for "the card with pears on", the child had to grasp that they meant the picture top left, even though top right was a better fit. This required the child to understand both implicature and perspective at the same time - communicative skills…

DALL.E Mini Loves Women in Saree but Creators Can’t Explain Why

DALL·E mini, an OpenAI program that generates hyper-realistic art and images from text input. Artificial intelligence has changed the world, solving highly complex mathematical questions and allowing the internet to create images of Yoda and Godzilla playing poker together. DALL·E mini was developed by artificial intelligence artist Boris Dayma and inspired by DALL·E 2, an OpenAI program that generates hyper-realistic art and images from text input. DALL·E mini is an AI model that generates images from any prompt…

Experts explain how to recruit the right C-suite for your scaleup

The line between startup and scaleup can be quite murky, but most agree that a startup becomes a scaleup once the “growth chasm” is crossed –– meaning they’ve solved challenges like market research and development, and have identified a scalable business model. According to academics, a scaleup is, “a high growth firm whose accelerated cycle of growth and wealth creation is fundamentally based on the scalability of its business model.” But having solved those initial problems, new problems…

Why are luxury cars so expensive in India? We explain!

The Toyota Camry is to the United States what the Maruti Dzire is to India. But in India, both cars sit poles apart. While the Dzire is the country’s best selling sedan, and is priced very affordably, the Camry is aimed at those seeking a luxury car and just sells about a 100 units each month. In sharp contrast, the Dzire sells over 10,000 copies every month. This massive disparity boils down to pricing. Let’s talk pricing The Toyota Camry – in hybrid guise – costs about Rs. 22 lakh (27,000 USD at Rs. 80/USD). In the…

The Morning After: Google uses Drake’s ‘Texts Go Green’ to explain RCS to Apple

Google has been trying to nudge Apple into adopting the GSMA’s RCS messaging protocol, from not-so-subtle jabs at I/O 2022 to lengthy Twitter threads from the head of Android. The latest tool from the makers of Android? Drake lyrics. The official Android Twitter account shared an “unofficial lyric explainer video” for “Texts Go Green,” the third song from Drake’s latest album. Both the title and chorus refer to what happens when an iPhone user blocks someone from contacting them through iMessage, which defaults messages…
