Commented on Scientific Inventions and Findings
A new optical clock developed by Chinese researchers that can run error-free for 7.2 billion years, which is longer than the age of the universe. Optical clocks use lasers to trap and cool atoms, then measure their vibrations to keep time. They are more precise and accurate than atomic clocks, which use microwaves to excite atoms. Optical clocks can be used to test fundamental physics, improve GPS and quantum communication, and explore the nature of space-time. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/optical-clock-accurate-billions-of-years

Deepfakes are synthetic media that use artificial intelligence to manipulate the appearance or voice of a person, often for malicious purposes. They can seriously threaten democracy, security, and privacy, especially during elections. There are some ways to spot a deepfake and prevent it from causing political chaos, such as: analyze visual inconsistencies; analyze visual inconsistencies; scrutinizing audio clues; reverse image search; inspect video metadata; use deepfake detection tools; verify official sources; educate yourself and others. https://www.science.org/content/article/how-spot-deepfake-and-prevent-it-causing-political-chaos
