In this episode of "Discover Daily" by Perplexity, we begin with a recent study from Harvard, where researchers found that students using an AI tutor in a physics course showed substantially higher engagement and motivation than those in conventional classrooms. The AI tutor offered personalized learning experiences, adapting to each student's unique needs and pace.
Our next story finds a medical use for FD&C Yellow No. 5, the common food dye otherwise known as tartrazine.Tartrazine can temporarily render mouse skin transparent, allowing for non-invasive visualization of internal structures. The technique could significantly change medical imaging and diagnostics if successfully adapted for human use, though challenges remain due to differences in skin thickness.
Lastly, Google DeepMind has unveiled AlphaProteo, an AI system designed to create proteins that bind effectively to target proteins. This advancement could accelerate drug development, disease research, and other biological applications, but raises questions about the ethical implications and potential risks of AI-driven protein design.

The Wow! signal, detected on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope, remains one of the most intriguing mysteries in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
This powerful, narrowband radio signal lasted 72 seconds and has never been detected again, captivating scientists and enthusiasts with its potential implications for alien communication. Discovered by astronomer Jerry Ehman, the signal's unique characteristics, including its proximity to the hydrogen line frequency and its apparent origin from the constellation Sagittarius, have fueled decades of speculation and research.
Despite numerous follow-up observations and technological advancements, the true nature of the Wow! signal remains elusive. Recent studies have proposed various explanations, from natural phenomena involving hydrogen cloud emissions to the possibility of a rare astrophysical event. The debate surrounding the signal's origin continues to inspire new research and spark discussions about potential alien communications, while also highlighting the challenges in distinguishing between natural and artificial cosmic signals.
As SETI research evolves, new technologies like AI-powered search techniques and improved radio telescopes are revolutionizing our ability to detect and analyze potential technosignatures. The ongoing search for extraterrestrial intelligence remains a fascinating field, balancing scientific rigor with the tantalizing possibility of making contact with an alien civilization.

This episode of 'Discover Daily' by Perplexity kicks off with news of Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI), a startup founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, which has secured a staggering $1 billion in funding. SSI's mission to develop safe superintelligence through long-term research and development is explored, along with the challenges and controversies surrounding this ambitious venture.
The episode then shifts gears to discuss Volkswagen's integration of ChatGPT into its IDA voice assistant, promising a more interactive and capable driving experience. This innovative feature will be available in various 2024 and 2025 models, starting with the ID 4 electric vehicle. We highlight the system's ability to handle complex queries while maintaining user privacy and data security.
The highlight of the episode is an exciting development in biohybrid robotics: a robot controlled by a living mushroom. Created by scientists at Cornell University, this innovative robot uses the mycelium network of a king oyster mushroom as both a sensor and control system. We discuss the potential applications of this technology in agriculture and environmental monitoring, as well as the advantages of using fungi as biological controllers in robotics.
