New Zealand's largest university, offering research and teaching across sciences, engineering, medicine, and humanities.
Researchers say AI companies have at least twice in five weeks reached answers to questions they had long been working on, Nature reported. Some now limit their AI use, though one AI-safety scientist expects models to keep getting there first with or without uploaded manuscripts.

JQI and Auckland researchers report in Nature a two-laser chip frequency comb that, they say, matches tabletop combs on routine measurement tasks. Portable atomic clocks are the goal, though the reported tests are bench measurements.

University of Sao Paulo and Auckland teams found that a breathing-control brain region, the pFL, can tighten blood vessels in rats. They suggest the circuit could help explain why about 40 percent of medicated patients still have uncontrolled blood pressure.

Nature asked ten PhD students, postdocs and faculty what surprised them about teaching for the first time. Their answers are recollections about preparation. The piece reports no student outcomes.
Reality
A PNNL-led team at SLAC paired ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy with scattering to watch a molecule's electronic structure and its surrounding water move in the same experiment, which is a new measurement capability some distance from a design rule for flow batteries.
