The 8th IRAM 30m summerschool is open for applications. It will combine lectures on millimeter astronomy with observations using the 30m telescope. It will be held in September 11-18, 2015 in Pradollano near Granada, Spain. More info: IRAM Summerschool 2015

Brain-controlled computers are a becoming reality, but major hurdles remain
Imagine controlling your computer just by thinking. It sounds far-out, but real advances are happening on these so-called brain-computer interfaces. More researchers and companies are moving into the area. Yet major challenges remain, from user training to the reality of invasive brain implant procedures.
Opening the ‘black box’ of artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is growing ever more powerful and entering people’s daily lives, yet often we don’t know what goes on inside these systems. Their non-transparency could fuel practical problems, or even racism, which is why researchers increasingly want to open this ‘black box’ and make AI explainable.
Black carbon and other pollution seeds clouds. We’re just starting to understand the climate implications
Particles swirling around our atmosphere add to climate change, yet much about how they interact with sunlight and influence the seeding of clouds remains puzzling. Studies are lifting the lid on how these tiny particles influence something as big as climate by analysing them from jet aircraft, satellites and ground measurements.
