Quantum Entanglement Endures Higgs Decays at the LHC

Physicists from CERN's ATLAS collaboration have observed strong evidence that quantum entanglement survives the LHC's extreme energies. By studying Higgs boson decays into pairs of Z bosons (which quickly decay into electrons or muons) at 13 TeV, they infer the Z bosons' spins and confirm entanglement in high-energy collider events. This marks one of the highest-energy confirmations of entanglement and extends foundational quantum mechanics tests into violent, laboratory-scale particle collisions; the results are published in Physical Review Letters.

CERN recreates cosmic ray birth in the lab to study Earth's atmospheric showers

Physicists at CERN used the Large Hadron Collider to collide oxygen nuclei with protons, recreating the birth of cosmic ray air showers in the lab. Analyzing the resulting particle sprays with the ATLAS detector, they achieved tenfold-precision measurements that challenge existing models and help determine the hydrogen versus heavier-element makeup of cosmic rays, shedding light on their origins; results are published in Physical Review Letters.

DeepMind's Genome Atlas maps every DNA change to speed up treatments

Google DeepMind unveiled AlphaGenome Atlas, a genome-wide catalog predicting the effects of every possible DNA letter change (around nine billion variants) on molecular biology. The roughly 1-petabyte dataset helps researchers rank mutations with a Variant Impact Score (AVI) and explore predictions through a web portal and Google Cloud, aiming to accelerate biology research and pave the way for new treatments; Atlas is available for noncommercial use now and for commercial use soon.

Atlas Push Lifts MDB Outlook, But After-Hours Selloff Presses MongoDB Shares

MongoDB boosted its full-year revenue outlook to $2.99-$3.03B and adjusted earnings to $6.39-$6.58, driven by Atlas; but after-hours selling followed as investors digested a Q3 guide of $756-$761M in revenue and $1.57-$1.61 in EPS, a step down from Q2's $771.8M revenue and $1.90 EPS, with MDB citing Atlas and Enterprise Advanced as growth drivers and maintaining a cash balance of about $2.4B and over 70,600 customers.

OpenAI shuts down ChatGPT Atlas, guiding Mac users to the upgraded ChatGPT desktop browser

OpenAI announced that ChatGPT Atlas, its Mac-focused web browser, will shut down on August 9 after a brief wind-down. Atlas bookmarks won’t transfer automatically, so users should export bookmarks as HTML and save important pages before the deadline; conversation history remains accessible. OpenAI is directing users to the ChatGPT desktop app, which includes a built-in browser with multiple tabs, downloads, logins, autofill, password management, extensions, and persistent state, plus a Chrome extension for existing workflows. Other AI browser options are also available as alternatives.

India unveils cellular-scale brainstem atlas

Indian researchers at IIT Madras' Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre have produced Anchor, the world's most detailed 3D atlas of the human brainstem at cellular resolution, linking MRI-scale structure to microscopic cell types across fetal to adult brains. Built from over 500 tissue sections and eight chemical markers, the freely accessible atlas maps more than 200 cell-type clusters and aims to bridge medical imaging and pathology, potentially advancing understanding of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, SIDS and improving neurosurgical navigation.

OpenAI to sunset Atlas as it pivots toward ChatGPT Work

OpenAI is sunsetting ChatGPT Atlas, its standalone browser launched less than a year ago, with a deprecation target of August 9, as part of a broader push to trim side projects and fold Atlas learnings into a desktop 'ChatGPT Work' suite; this follows other moves like shutting down Sora and pausing 'adult mode', signaling a shift toward integrated productivity features.

Chile’s asteroid-warning telescope spots the Solar System’s third interstellar visitor

The ATLAS survey telescope in Chile, built to warn about near-Earth asteroids, unexpectedly detected 3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar object, whose hyperbolic trajectory indicates it is not from the Solar System and, based on motion modelling, may be older than the Solar System; the discovery shows planetary-defense instruments can also capture rare interstellar visitors and inform our understanding of galactic debris.

Hyundai completes Boston Dynamics takeover, setting Atlas on a factory-floor path

Hyundai Motor Group will pay $325 million to buy SoftBank's remaining 9.65% stake in Boston Dynamics, gaining full ownership and signaling a shift from demos to production. Atlas is slated to begin in Hyundai's Georgia Metaplant by 2028 with sequencing tasks first, expanding to heavier automation by 2030, aided by Hyundai Mobis components; SoftBank pivots toward AI infrastructure via Roze AI, while Boston Dynamics becomes a manufacturing platform within Hyundai's ecosystem.

OpenAI plans a desktop 'superapp' to unify ChatGPT, Codex, and Atlas

OpenAI is reportedly building a desktop 'superapp' that bundles ChatGPT, the Codex coding tool, and the Atlas browser into one app to reduce fragmentation and accelerate product quality, per a Wall Street Journal report citing Fidji Simo. The move aims to focus on core bets and avoid distractions, with mobile ChatGPT staying the same and competition from Anthropic ramping up.

Moon-safe: Asteroid 2024 YR4 will miss the Moon in 2032 after JWST orbit refinements

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope refined the orbit of asteroid 2024 YR4, ruling out a collision with the Moon and showing it will pass about 13,200 miles (21,200 km) above the lunar surface in 2032. This closes the earlier 4.3% Moon-impact risk that existed due to orbital uncertainty, with Gaia-star measurements helping to nail down the asteroid’s path.
