Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro is adding his spin to one of the most-filmed horror stories the mythic tale of a scientist creating a man from body parts with his latest, “Frankenstein.” He talks with Seth Doane about his lifelong fascination with horror, why Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was his first crush, and how “in reality we’re all weird in some way.” Doane also talks with Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, who play Victor Frankenstein and his creature.
AI Learns to Identify Exploding Stars with Just 15 Examples
How can artificial intelligence (AI) help astronomers identify celestial objects in the night sky? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as an international team of researchers investigated the potential for using AI to conduct astrophysical surveys of celestial events, including black holes consuming stars or even exploding stars themselves. This study has the potential to help astronomers use AI to enhance the field by reducing time and resources that have traditionally been used to scan the night sky.
