Over the last day, the US Geological Survey (USGS) has detected 16 moderate tremors, all stronger than 2.5 in magnitude, in the vicinity of Tonopah Test Range in Nevada, better known as'Area 52.' Both Area 52 and its more famous neighbor, Area 51, sit on a massive complex just north of Las Vegas called the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). For decades, it has been believed that the US military has carried out experimental aircraft testing as well as nuclear weapons research in this remote area. Now, scientists have monitored over 100 seismic events within 50 miles of the Tonopah Test Range in just the last week.

Obsessed with throwing money and resources at AI in any way they can, the likes of OpenAI, NVIDIA, Google and Amazon all just got a surprise. Out of seemingly nowhere, Chinese AI assistant DeepSeek is suddenly the top-rated free app on Apple's App Store in the US and elsewhere, beating more familiar names, like ChatGPT. The open-source DeepSeek V3 model reportedly requires far less computing power than its competitors and, depending on who you believe, was developed for under 6 million. Shocks all around -- especially for OpenAI and all the billions it has floating around. Focusing on coding and research, DeepSeek's models are similar to other AI assistants you've heard of.

DeepSeek, a little-known Chinese startup, has sent shockwaves through the global tech sector with the release of an artificial intelligence (AI) model whose capabilities rival the creations of Google and OpenAI. DeepSeek-R1's creator says its model was developed using less advanced, and fewer, computer chips than those employed by tech giants in the United States. In a research paper released last week, the model's development team said they had spent less than 6m on computing power to train the model – a fraction of the multibillion-dollar AI budgets enjoyed by US tech giants such as OpenAI, Alphabet and Meta. Marc Andreessen, one of the most influential tech venture capitalists in Silicon Valley, hailed the release of the model as "AI's Sputnik moment". The sudden emergence of a small Chinese startup capable of rivalling Silicon Valley's top players has challenged assumptions about US dominance in AI and raised fears that the sky-high market valuations of companies such as Nvidia, Alphabet and Meta may be detached from reality. On Monday, Nvidia, which holds a near-monopoly on producing the semiconductors that power generative AI, lost nearly 600bn in market capitalisation after its shares plummeted 17 percent.

Chinese AI bot DeepSeek has disrupted the stock market, with US President Donald Trump calling its rise "a wake-up call" for the US tech industry. DeepSeek - which claims its model was made at a fraction of the cost of its rivals - has become the most downloaded free app in the US just a week after it was launched. The BBC's AI correspondent, Marc Cieslak discusses why the large language model has caused shockwaves.

Sam Altman will reportedly not be returning as chief executive of ChatGPT developer OpenAI after talks to reinstate him failed. The non-profit board of the San Francisco-based company has instead installed Emmett Shear, co-founder of video streaming site Twitch, as OpenAI's third CEO in three days, according to multiple reports. Altman was fired on Friday after being accused of not being "consistently candid in communications" with the board in a move that sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley. OpenAI's investors, led by Microsoft, then led an attempt to reinstate Altman and talks over an about-turn took place at the weekend – with Altman tweeting a picture of himself wearing a guest pass outside OpenAI's offices. However, the talks failed and OpenAI's board has appointed Shear as interim CEO, replacing Altman's short-lived temporary successor Mira Murati.

But whether or not they exist in reality, studying these hypothetical objects could be the key to making concrete the tantalizing link between information and matter that has bedeviled physicists for decades. Surprisingly, a quantum computer is an ideal platform to investigate this connection. The trick is to use a correspondence called AdS/CFT, which establishes an equivalence between a theory that describes gravity and spacetime (and wormholes) in a fictional world with a special geometry (AdS) to a quantum theory that does not contain gravity at all (CFT). In "Traversable wormhole dynamics on a quantum processor", published in Nature today, we report on a collaboration with researchers at Caltech, Harvard, MIT, and Fermilab to simulate the CFT on the Google Sycamore processor. By studying this quantum theory on the processor, we are able to leverage the AdS/CFT correspondence to probe the dynamics of a quantum system equivalent to a wormhole in a model of gravity.

Understanding human driving behaviors quantitatively is critical even in the era when connected and autonomous vehicles and smart infrastructure are becoming ever more prevalent. This is particularly so as that mixed traffic settings, where autonomous vehicles and human driven vehicles co-exist, are expected to persist for quite some time. Towards this end it is necessary that we have a comprehensive modeling framework for decision-making within which human driving preferences can be inferred statistically from observed driving behaviors in realistic and naturalistic traffic settings. Leveraging a recently proposed computational framework for smart vehicles in a smart world using multi-agent based simulation and optimization, we first recapitulate how the forward problem of driving decision-making is modeled as a state space model. We then show how the model can be inverted to estimate driver preferences from naturalistic traffic data using the standard Kalman filter technique. We explicitly illustrate our approach using the vehicle trajectory data from Sugiyama experiment that was originally meant to demonstrate how stop-and-go shockwave can arise spontaneously without bottlenecks. Not only the estimated state filter can fit the observed data well for each individual vehicle, the inferred utility functions can also re-produce quantitatively similar pattern of the observed collective behaviors. One distinct advantage of our approach is the drastically reduced computational burden. This is possible because our forward model treats driving decision process, which is intrinsically dynamic with multi-agent interactions, as a sequence of independent static optimization problems contingent on the state with a finite look ahead anticipation. Consequently we can practically sidestep solving an interacting dynamic inversion problem that would have been much more computationally demanding.

Shrimp may be small, but some of them can pack quite a wallop. One of the pistol shrimp's claws, for instance, delivers such an explosive amount of force that it creates a shockwave of superhot plasma that can take out prey or create impromptu shelters. It only makes sense, then, that scientists hope to harness that power. A team has developed a robot claw that mimics the pistol shrimp's basic behavior to generate plasma and, potentially a valuable tool for underwater science and industry. The researchers started by creating a 3D-printed replica of the shrimp's claw, which includes a top half that cocks back like a gun, and a plunger that smacks into a socket in the bottom half.

The pistol shrimp, aka the snapping shrimp, is a peculiar contradiction. At just a few inches long, it wields one proportionally sized claw and another massive one that snaps with such force the resulting shockwave knocks its prey out cold. As the two bits of the claw come together, bubbles form and then rapidly collapse, shooting out a bullet of plasma that in turn produces a flash of light and temperatures of 8,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That's right--an underwater creature that fits in the palm of your hand can, with a flick of its claw, weaponize a blast of insanely hot bubbles. Now scientists are learning how to wield this formidable force themselves.
