UK Home Office to use AI age estimation on asylum seekers – how accurate is the technology?

Starting next year, the Home Office plans to use AI-driven facial age estimation to assess the age of asylum seekers. At the UK border, deciding whether someone is 17 or 19 is a consequential judgment. Get it wrong one way, and a vulnerable child loses legal protections they’re entitled to.…

'One of the great unresolved embarrassments of physics': It's been 340 years since Newton and scientists still haven't solved the secret of gravity

Big G is the oldest fundamental constant in physics and remains the least clearly defined. One scientist has spent a decade attempting to crack the mystery of the gravitational constant, and it all came down to the opening of a single envelope.

Quantum sensors use atoms, electrons and light as ultra-steady rulers – detecting faint motion, magnetism and gravity for navigation, medicine and science

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small that ordinary background noise can drown them out. Some sensors are already in daily use, while others…
