Artificial intelligence (AI) is making significant strides in archaeology, particularly in deciphering ancient texts. Researchers at Oxford University have applied AI technology to decipher a long-mysterious papyrus scroll from Herculaneum, a Roman town destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. This scroll, reduced to fragile, unreadable fragments, has stumped scholars for 250 years. In July 2024, a groundbreaking scanning technique using a diamond light source enabled researchers to examine the scroll without damaging it. The unique composition of the ink, potentially containing lead, made it detectable in X-ray scans, allowing AI to identify hidden text. While AI didn’t directly transcribe…

The article discusses the challenges faced by Spain’s power grid, particularly in the context of its increasing reliance on solar energy.

Bri Matisse Hodge, an expert in electrical engineering, notes that as power plants go offline, grid frequency may drop, highlighting the importance of inertia for system stability. Spain recently experienced a significant blackout attributed to its dependence on renewable energy, particularly solar power. Although Spain and Portugal have aggressively pursued renewable energy, their electrical grids are relatively isolated from other European networks, complicating their ability…

The ruling confronts Apple’s strategies to circumvent competition. Although Apple emerged victorious in the original Epic Games lawsuit—retaining the right to charge developers for in-app purchases—it failed to clarify how to implement this, leaving loopholes for developers.
