Ancient Forbidden Discoveries And Artefacts
There's lots of ancient archaeological discoveries been found all the time "all over the world" but every now and again something turns up that is going to change everything that we thought we knew and that's supposed to be a fact. Well, I know that according to science, facts don't change but when something turns up in the archaeology field that makes scientists scratch their heads, they either accept it or pass it on for further investigation i.e a cover up. Oh but…

Within just 50 light-years from Earth, there are about 1,560 stars, likely orbited by several thousand planets. About a thousand of these extrasolar planets – known as exoplanets – may be rocky and have a composition similar to Earth’s. Some may even harbor life. Over 99 percent of these alien worlds remain undiscovered — but …
Learning atoms for materials discovery
Motivated by the recent achievements of artificial intelligence (AI) in linguistics, we design AI to learn properties of atoms from materials data on its own. Our work realizes knowledge representation of atoms via computers and could serve as a foundational step toward materials discovery and design fully based on machine learning.
