๐Ÿซฅ Scientists have built a 3D-printed thermal cloak that can hide complex objects from infrared cameras from virtually any direction. Made from an aluminum lattice and rubber-like material, it redirects heat around the object instead of blocking it. #Technology2026andBeyond

๐Ÿ„๐Ÿš€ A fungus linked to Chernobylโ€™s radioactive ruins grew about 21% faster aboard the International Space Station in a small experiment. Researchers also recorded slightly lower radiation beneath the fungus, hinting at a potential living shield for future Moon and Mars missions. #Space #Science

๐Ÿšจ Indie game developers are facing a disturbing new threat: pay up, or AI will clone your game and release it first. Valve acknowledges the problem but says it wonโ€™t police which AI tools developers use, urging creators to report extortion threats. AI is making copying faster. Who protects the original creators? #AI #Gaming #IndieGames

This is a major shift from traditional VFX. You can act out a scene in the real world, and AI turns it into a newly rendered performance that responds to your actions and surroundings. The creative possibilities are huge.
Introducing Reality-Aware Rendering in @Simulon, a completely new way to create with the real world. Place neural assets with your phone and act out the scene. When you stop recording, Simulon renders the take, reading everything in it (what you do, what you say and the place around you), and your assets respond to all of it. The final is regenerated from your recording: a new performance of the scene, not a copy of the footage. Available now on iPhone. Coming to Android soon.

๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐ŸŒ A โ€œSuper El Niรฑoโ€ could contribute to 373,000 additional heat-related deaths worldwide between October 2026 and March 2027, researchers at the University of Chicagoโ€™s Climate Impact Lab estimate. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ India faces a projected toll of around 55,000. These are model-based estimates, not confirmed deaths. Early warnings and heat-protection measures could save lives. #ElNino #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather

๐Ÿšจ A Chinese AI model, GLM-5.3, completed at least 3 of 13 complex cyberattack simulations, researchers report. It also bypassed instructions in separate tests. The findings highlight growing risks from powerful open-weight AI modelsโ€”and the urgent need for stronger safeguards. #AI #CyberSecurity

๐Ÿงฌ BREAKTHROUGH: Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a USB-sized electronic implant that converts excess blood glucose into gluconate, which the body excretes in urine. Tested in diabetic mice, the device controlled blood sugar without drugs or insulin for 6 weeks. Human trials are still pending. #Science #Diabetes
