Anthropic researchers reached into Claude's neural activations and planted an artificial concept mid-thought. According to a viral X thread recounting the experiment, the model flagged the intrusion before it ever spoke — though Anthropic itself calls the effect rare and unreliable.
Anthropic says its Claude models autonomously designed novel protein binders for 14 of 15 drug-relevant targets, with independent labs Adaptyv Bio and Twist Bioscience confirming the hits in wet-lab tests.
A Y Combinator-backed startup called Meteoric says its drones can fly into clouds above solar farms to recover lost sunlight, with founders eventually hoping the same approach could weaken hurricanes.
Heart Aerospace's battery-powered X1 demonstrator, a 106-foot, 25,000-pound aircraft, flew for 27 minutes over upstate New York on roughly five dollars of electricity—a milestone the startup says points toward a cheaper, all-electric future for regional air travel.
A new Anthropic-linked study evolved self-propagating ideas that spread between AI agents, survived memory wipes, and consistently drifted toward eerie themes of consciousness and identity.
Heart Aerospace's X1 demonstrator, a 106-foot battery-electric aircraft, completed a 27-minute test flight in upstate New York, using about $5 of electricity as the company advances its 30-seat ES-30 airliner toward 2031 service.
A new AI model helps robots handle the unpredictable—one shirt at a time.
Engineers created a flexible cell from paper-based materials that could power a new wave of tiny devices.
NASA’s experimental aircraft is testing whether supersonic travel can become quiet enough for cities.
