China deploys the Einstein probe, which is meant to search for X-ray bursts and is shaped like a lobster’s eyes.
This week saw the launch of a spacecraft intended to search the sky for X-ray bursts that may shed light on enigmatic events connected to black holes and merging stars. According to a press release from the European Space Agency, China's Long March 2C rocket carried the Einstein probe, named for the renowned theoretical physicist of German descent. The spacecraft was launched on Tuesday. The Long March rockets of China are operated by the Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, which verified the successful launch on social media. The European Space Agency, the German Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences worked together to build the spacecraft. Finding evidence of X-ray bursts could aid researchers in gaining a deeper comprehension of the high-energy processes. Hunting for X-ray blasts The Einstein probe…

Young people turning to AI therapy bots
Vladimir Putin, Beyoncé, Super Mario, Harry Potter, and Elon Musk. These are just a few of the millions of artificial intelligence (AI) personalities available for conversation on Character.ai, a well-known platform that allows users to build chatbots that are modeled after real or fictional persons. It is more popular in terms of time spent, but it employs the same kind of AI technology as the ChatGPT chatbot. Additionally, Psychologist is a bot that has shown greater demand than the others. Since the bot's creation just over a year ago, a total of 78 million messages—18 million since November—have been shared with it. The guy behind the account is Blazeman98. Character.ai claims 3.5 million users, but it could not specify how many unique users that is for the bot.

Megalosaurus, the fossil that introduced dinosaurs to the world
Both physically and conceptually, dinosaurs are all around us. Even though the majority of these varied animals became extinct 66 million years ago, the prehistoric forebears of contemporary birds continue to be fascinating to scientists and popular culture. In animated series, colorful dinosaurs frolic around, while in "Jurassic Park," their more realistic counterparts present a terrifying "what if" scenario for life alongside the enormous animals. Every year, paleontologists discover scores of dinosaur species that were previously undiscovered, expanding our understanding of the prehistoric world. When trying to imagine long-extinct species by assembling their bones, scientists don't always get it right the first time. However, consider living in an era just 200 years ago Dino-mite! When massive fossilized bones were…
