Physicists achieve helicon current drive for the first time, a fusion technique abandoned in the 1980s
Researchers at General Atomics reported the first experimental demonstration of helicon current drive at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility. The technique, proposed in the 1980s, uses high-frequency radio waves to generate an internal electric current that stabilizes the plasma. It failed at the time because plasmas were not reactor-like enough, wave-launching equipment was inefficient and diagnostics were limited. The results were published in Physical Review Letters.

Geoffrey Hinton warns of a possible AI "Chernobyl" by 2027 and calls for international regulation
Geoffrey Hinton, 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics and considered the "godfather" of artificial intelligence, warned in an interview with The Guardian that before the end of 2027 "we will see a Chernobyl." He clarified that it would not be a nuclear crisis but a cyberattack driven by uncontrolled AI or AI in the wrong hands against the financial system, causing a massive blackout. Hinton, who left Google in 2023 to warn about the risks of the technology he helped create, proposes international treaties and independent controls on companies before they release their models.

A satirical script inspired by Sam Altman emails him daily if your PC has spare RAM
Developer Iain Kay created Ram-Altman, a Bash script described by its author as a "parody project" that emails OpenAI CEO Sam Altman once a day if more than 10 percent of system RAM is reported as available. The idea followed Altman's comments on the Cheeky Pint podcast about wasted DRAM in personal computers. The project includes a dry-run option that sends no emails and does not contain Altman's address.
