Few AI products have had a run as short and as dramatic as Sora. In the space of about 18 months, OpenAI's text-to-video model went from a jaw-dropping research preview to a viral social app, a billion-dollar Hollywood partnership, and then a full shutdown. As of late October 2026, there is no Sora you can use: the consumer app closed in April and the developer API followed in September. For anyone tracking where generative AI is heading, the story of Sora is less about one model and more about...

Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Scientists observed a quasi-periodic fast-propagating (QFP) wave train in corona
Quasi-periodic fast-mode propagating (QFP) wave trains in the corona have been studied intensively in the past decade, thanks to the full-disk, high spatiotemporal resolution, and widetemperature coverage observations taken by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). In AIA observations, QFP wave trains are seen to consist of multiple coherent and concentric wavefronts emanating successively near the epicenter of the accompanying flares; they propagat...

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE – Research suggest ‘TGF-beta’ chemical controlling life and death in hair follicles
Single chemical is key to controlling when hair follicle cells divide, and when they die. This discovery could not only treat baldness, but ultimately speed wound healing because follicles are a source of stem cells.
Most cells in the human body have a specific form and function determined during embryonic development that does not change. For example, a blood cell cannot turn into a nerve cell, or vice versa. Stem cells, however, are like the blank tiles in a game of Scrabble; they can ...
