ARTIFICIAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE The CEO of OpenAi, Sam Altman, is planning to develop artificial general intelligence. It aims to emulate human cognitive abilities such that it allows it to do unfamiliar tasks, learn from new experiences, and apply its knowledge in new ways. This idea emerged in the 20th century by Alan Turing, widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.

XENOTRANSPLANTATION Recently, the first recipient of a modified pig kidney transplant passed away approximately two months after the surgery. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), xenotransplantation is any procedure involving the transplantation, implantation, or infusion into a human recipient of live cells, tissues, or organs from a nonhuman animal source. It also includes procedures involving human body fluids, cells, tissues, or organs that have had ex vivo contact with live nonhuman animal cells, tissues, or organs.

GOLDENE It is the first free-standing sheet of gold that is only one atom thick. This makes gold as the first metal to be formulated into (freestanding) 2D sheets. It has been developed by the scientists of Sweden's Linköping University.

Amaterasu Particle Scientists have detected one of the most powerful cosmic rays ever slamming into Earth but they have no idea what caused it or where it came from. The extremely high-energy particle has been named Amaterasu after the Japanese Sun goddess, and it seemingly arrived from a void in space where nothing is known to exist. The Amaterasu particle has an energy exceeding 240 exa-electron volts (EeV). That is millions of times more powerful than the particles produced by the Large Hadron Collider, which is the most powerful accelerator ever built. It is second only to the "Oh-My-God" particle, another high-energy cosmic ray detected in 1991. That came in at 320 EeV.
