Among them is internet mogul Wang Xiaochuan, who entered the field after OpenAI's ChatGPT debuted to a social media firestorm in November. He joins the ranks of Chinese scientists, programmers and financiers — including former employees of ByteDance Ltd., e-commerce platform JD.com Inc. and Google — expected to propel some $15 billion of spending on AI technology this year." | Let's say you've always wanted to travel to Copenhagen but now that you have a family (and yes, they'd come too), it's expensive to travel.

The research has taken ten years to complete, says Carolyn Taylor, lead author of the study and an oncologist at the University of Oxford, UK. The analysis includes the 512,447 women in England who were diagnosed with early invasive breast cancer between January 1993 and December 2015; the researchers tracked the women until December 2020 using data from the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service." | "Volcanic magmas are rich in metals, with active volcanoes such as Mount Etna in Italy releasing about 20 tonnes of copper and 10kg of gold a day in volcanic gases. Extracting metals from volcanic gas is implausible, but mining it from the underlying hot magmatic brines does have real potential. Metals are super-concentrated in these brines and the hot fluids could be used to produce geothermal power, potentially making the mining process carbon neutral." | So, what is LoopGenius, exactly?

In fact, climbing temperatures are the most immediate factor influencing the rise in fungal infections." | Interested in having one of your social posts featured in The Futurist? | | The Arrector Pili muscles are responsible for what phenomenon? | We couldn't find a GIF for this question that didn't give away the answer, so enjoy we found instead. | | | | |
