"Beam
me up" is one of the most famous catchphrases from the Star Trek
series. It is the command issued when a character wishes to teleport
from a remote location back to the Starship Enterprise.

European particle-physics lab will pursue a 100-kilometre machine to
uncover the Higgs boson’s secrets — but it doesn’t yet have the funds.
Researchers
from North Carolina State University have discovered that teaching
physics to neural networks enables those networks to better adapt to
chaos within their environment. The work has implications for improved
artificial intelligence (AI) applications ranging from medical
diagnostics to automated drone piloting.

shift, quietly disclosed on a government website, highlights how the
Trump administration is favoring development of vaccines over treatments
for the sickest patients.
