As I entered Shoreline Amphitheater on Wednesday, I thought I was attending Google IO the company's annual developers conference.But after listening to CEO Sundar Pichai and several other Google executives speak about new products and services, the event felt like it should be renamed Google AI.Indeed, the first 75 minutes of the two-hour event was focused on how artificial intelligence and specifically generative AI (GAI), is not only the main ingredient of Google Bard, the company's new conversational, AI chat service, but soon integrated into all its services including search, photos, maps and Google docs.

Entanglement is the other major quantum phenomenon enabling qubits to pass information to one another in a quantum computer.This is the idea that particles can be linked in such a way that they can't be described independently.Changing one particle by performing a measurement instantly changes its entangled partner, no matter how far apart the two particles are, even if they're on opposite ends of the universe.

Mexican jumping beans have been a curiosity for many an inquisitive child, and yes, they really do "jump," thanks to the presence of tiny moth larvae inside the seed pods.According to a recent paper published in the journal Physical Review E by physicists at Seattle University, those jumps can help the moth larvae inside find shade to survive on hot days.

Standardized Testing: A friend or foe? (Image: Archant) Albert Einstein once said, "Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid."From the curious age of 4 to the insightful age of 16, students experience a relentless array of exams that are designed to serve as "progress checks" but instead project unwavering issues of self-confidence.
